What can we expect for a Harry Potter Complete collection?
I'm sure there are many of us that have held off on buying the Harry Potter movies until the complete set was available so what can we expect for The Harry Potter Complete Collection? Extended editions? Suitcase packaging?
Perhaps I've missed it but has there been any word what WB plans on doing?

DVDAficionado lists box sets for films 1-3, then 1-4, then 1-5, then 1-6, and most recently, 1-7pt1, I don't think you have to wait very long for them to make a complete box of some sort. It would be foolish to expect otherwise.

Re: What can we expect for a Harry Potter Complete collection?
It's still slightly too soon. Before long though, I'm sure they'll announce something. I see two possible outcomes here:
They released a minimal boxed set including all the films up to Deathly Hallows Part 1 not too long ago... and they may release another bare-bones-ish type release in a similar fashion. Once all eight films are given the mega editions like the ones that have been released over the course of time, then there might be an ULTRA boxed set to cash in once again, as it would contain ALL the bonus features, and perhaps some new ones.
By the time Deathly Hallows Part 2 comes to Blu-ray, it's possible they'll get caught up with the mega edition Blu-ray sets for each individual film, and then release a mega boxed set day-and-date.

Re: What can we expect for a Harry Potter Complete collection?
I want a box that doesn't consume much shelf space
Inside the box could be slim Blu cases, foldout trays with nice artwork, or a magical book format like the Alien Anthology had.
It had better come out for the Holidays 2011.

Re: What can we expect for a Harry Potter Complete collection?
The standard set containing Sorcerer's Stone to Deathly Hallows: Part 2 will, of course, be released on DVD and Blu-ray when Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is released on DVD and Blu-ray.
Then the Ultimate Editions of Deathly Hallows: Parts 1 and 2 will be released on DVD and Blu-ray, probably around spring 2012. Unless-- might they put them out at the same time as the initial release of Part 2? Hm. Would be a bit odd, but given the timing of Phoenix and Prince after Azkaban and Goblet (eight months), I can almost see that.
After that, things get interesting. Are we going to get a complete set of all eight films with the documentary content from the Ultimate Editions? Or, are we going to be treated to something entirely new? If it's little more than a repackaging, I won't bother. But, if they pull out all the stops and produce a set like the Alien Anthology, I will absolutely dip again. Happily.

I haven't purchased any of the movies on Blu-ray yet, but a basic set would be enough for me.

Re: What can we expect for a Harry Potter Complete collection?
Yeah, a repackaging of the ultimate sets will most likely be it for awhile. Really, is there anything else that's left? Maybe in 10+ yrs a looking back documentary and a few more goodies would warrant a new release. As a casual fan of the series, the regular releases are good enough for me.

I'm holding off on getting the movies on Blu-Ray until a box set with all of the contents from the Ultimate Editions are released.

Re: What can we expect for a Harry Potter Complete collection?
I will own them all on Blu-Ray but I am holding off on those Ultimate Editions because I'm just waiting for the huge box set which will most likely have exclusive bonus features that the studio loves to throw in to fuck over their loyal paying customers.
Plus I would need an entire shelf to display them all. Sure it'll be cool to display them plus all the books, but I simply don't have the space anymore after collecting DVDs since 1998.

Re: What can we expect for a Harry Potter Complete collection?
I just recently returned all my HP DVDs since I knew I'd never watch them again. I've been holding off on all of them since part 5, waiting for an ultimate box set. I'm not a huge series fan, meaning I don't need a metric ton of bonus features, but I'd like a set with the theatrical/extended cuts of all films (where applicable).

At this point I'm happy with all the separate releases. I'd like to see them release the 8-part documentary on its own - I'd pay up to $30 just for that.

Re: What can we expect for a Harry Potter Complete collection?
I'll pick up the UK box set of the complete collection.
I would like the real title of the first movie. "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." Not Sorcerer's Stone.

Re: What can we expect for a Harry Potter Complete collection?
Now that the books and films are finished, I would love to see a special feature where they discuss what kind of info was given to the actors in advance of the books, and what advice J.K. Rowling gave to Steven Kloves to include (aside from Dobby) or exclude, stuff like that.
