    Is it physically possible to sit through all of them at once?

    This.

    It would be extremely tiresome experience at home, that's probably around 24 hours of movie time. Now imagine doing that in front of a huge screen with some serious sound blasting around you.

    Maybe I'll try watching one movie a night for the week leading up to it. I've been giving the books a fourth run for about a month and a half, and I'm about halfway through Goblet of Fire, so maybe I'll manage to wrap everything up in mid-July.

    I can see the appeal for a keen fan - plus it would give you a good refresher on characters and story - and probably easier to spot the plot flaws between the movies (considering they had to omit quite a few subplots from the books).

    However, 24 hours straight of movies in a cinema is very bad for your body/mind/soul/bladder/neck/bowels/sanity. Doing the 12-hour Lord of the Rings Marathon is bad enough without being able to pause for loo breaks.

    It needs to be organized properly, then it could be quite awesome to do something like this.

    The theatre near my house is showing the first movie one week, then the second during the following week and so on until the release of Part 2. I couldn't imagine sitting through them all in one go.

    I would say there would be an interval of sorts between films, maybe half an hour between sessions? I don't think Australia has a marathon like this, just the one a week thing. I do plan to do a complete run through of all the films when part 2 comes out on DVD (which I'm guessing will be some time around Christmas).

    The Imax in London is showing two over night marathons of the harry potter films. I think it would wuite fun going just to see how long I last :)

    I think they generally have a 20-30 minute break between films... It wouldn't be possible to survive it otherwise...

    Seeing as this seems to be the only harry potter thread on the forum, I thought I'd just put the trailers here:
    Trailer 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mObK5XD8udk

    Trailer 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NYt1qirBWg

    In a word, epic.

    Yeah, I just saw Trailer 2 earlier when I finally got out to see Pirates 4. The thing had my heart racing.

    Same here. I've never cried during a movie except, well, the end of Bicentennial Man, but I think I'm gonna cry so much I'll make a second Gringotts waterfall for this film :p

    Once, I made a Lord of the Rings Marathon. Extended Edition.

    12 hours, no breaks.

    Even though it was in my own comfortable living room, by the end of the third movie we were all like: "Throw that blasted ring so we can go to sleep!!"

    Fun! ...but I'll never do that again. :p

    Jeez, and I thought it was bad the time that I had a Matrix marathon, in chronological order that included parts of Enter the Matrix, as well as The Animatrix broken up into several different chunks placed in the appropriate points. I think it took me around 8 hours. And I got up early for that shit.

    We decided not to do the harry potter marathon... My buddy backed out, and I'm not going to do it alone xDD

    Whoever can do a James Bond marathon is Chuck Norris.
