    Which film is 24 hours? If Order of the Phoenix is 24 hours, that wouldn’t be the worst. All others would be under that, as short as about 7 hours going by pages per minutes. But, if book one is 24 hours, then all the rest would be more than that, and OotP would be, like, 84 hours.

      One page per minute is how we estimate runtimes from scripts so sounds about right.

        Biggest issue for me in my screenwriting classes. My pacing is borked, dialogue is so much quicker spoken than it looks like, and the format of screenplays means it takes up a lot of page relative to its actual speed. I love screenwriting, but I’m too reliant on dialogue and it screws everything up for me lol
