hasn’t released this longer cut previously, despite a few different home video releases of “Sorcerer’s Stone” thus far. “We have to put Peeves back in the movie, who was cut from the movie!” I thought, well, the kids presumably have a shorter attention span so this is a good thing.” Nearly half an hour of footage was then removed before the theatrical release.Ĭolumbus has discussed his three-hour cut before in interviews, but when speaking to TheWrap we told him we’d love to see that three-hour cut released – and he agreed. Parents afterwards said it was too long, the kids said it was too short. “Particularly a Chicago preview where our first cut was a three-hour cut. “We knew that the film worked because we did a couple of previews,” Columbus said. Reflecting on his experience making “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” Columbus acknowledged that he knew the film was connecting with audiences when they screened that three-hour cut in Chicago and kids said they wanted even more. ‘Harry Potter’: Peter O’Toole Almost Replaced Richard Harris as Dumbledore
