Harry Potter Collection - 12/11/07
Harry Potter, The Most Successful Franchise of All Time, Now Available in a Magical Limited Edition DVD Giftset Available
in SD, HD DVD and Blu-Ray Dec 11
Set Includes Two-Disc Editions of All Five Films plus Two Bonus Discs with Games and More than Three Hours of Extra Content
High Definition Releases of First Four Films Also Available in Warner Home Video’s Big Holiday Theatrical Catalog Initiative
Burbank, Calif., September 17, 2007 – Muggles and wizards alike will rejoice when all their favorite wizards reappear in the brand new Harry Potter Limited Edition DVD Giftset, available in limited supply from Warner Home Video (WHV) on DVD December 11 in their choice of Standard Definition (SD), HD DVD and Blu-Ray formats. Packed with hours of marvelous mystery, the Harry Potter Limited Edition Giftset is bound to be one of the catalog events of the year and an irresistible magical gift for this holiday season.
Presented in a magnificent collectible ‘suitcase’, the 12-disc Giftset will include two-disc editions of all five Harry Potter films – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire -- and, for the first time on DVD, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. With the success of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Warner Bros. Pictures’ Harry Potter films have now become, worldwide, the top-grossing motion picture franchise in history.
The Giftset will also offer several enchanting additions. The first is a separate disc containing ‘Hogwarts Challenge,’ a unique interactive DVD gaming experience with 14 adventure games based on Harry Potter films1-3, with clips from films 4-5. This fully immersive movie experience only requires a DVD player and remote to amuse up to 4 players at varying skill levels. The second bonus disc includes more than 3 hours of all-new to DVD extra content from all five films. Also included with the limited edition giftset are collectible premiums created especially for this promotion -- the Harry Potter Bookmark Collection, with five unique souvenir metal bookmarks, and 4 different packs of Harry Potter trading cards, from each of the first 4 films. The HD DVD and Blu-ray giftsets will sell for $149.99 SRP; $119.97 SRP for the Standard Definition set.
“Pottermania” continues as the Harry Potter films 1–4 are offered for the first time in HD DVD and Blu-ray ($29.99 SRP). The High Definition versions will include all the extra content of the Giftset’s two-disc versions and, for a limited time only, both versions will contain a set of four trading cards specific to the title purchased. The Harry Potter films 1-3 will be available individually in Standard Definition also with the trading cards, at a new low price (each $14.97 SRP). Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is only available at this price for 60 days, after which it will sell for $19.97 SRP.

When you know how many total films there are going to be in a film series and you buy a "series collection" before the last films have been made, you have no one to blame but yourself when you have to rebuy things down the road. I just wait for the individual releases to show up used for $5 at the pawn shop for now.

hopefully most people will have enough common sense to remember there are still two movie left to come out

hopefully WB made the deleted scenes for Stone more accessible than the last dvd.

in regards to 'Goblet of Fire' HD-DVD edition, is there the 'In Movie Experience' that the import HD-DVD has?
I thought there was mention that commentary tracks would be included this go around as well.

Extended cuts might have made me bite, but otherwise I'll wait for the seven movie box.

Yeah, since I own the firsat four movies already, I'll pass on this one. I'll continue to buy the movies as they are released on DVD, but then I'll upgrade to the inevitible HD box set when all the movies are finished.

I'm looking forward to owning all 5 movies in high-def. People here are really going to wait until 2010 to purchase their movies? The Warner Bros store price ($83) makes this a no-brainer.
