It's cool but probably just cardboard, right? If it's actually wooden or something, that would be awesome. I'm a special features completest so that part of me starts to twitch when I hear that this will have exclusive bonus features.

And in case anyone is questioning how there are 18 movie discs, there is a DVD copy of each movie. I didn't get at at first until I realized that.

there's another thread for this release and it's also been discussed in the ultimate edition thread as well.

ssjmichael · 03-05-2012, 07:10 PM

It won't be wooden. It'll be made from similar material as other limited editions, like this one here.

There is??
Did search for it in collectibles section without any hits

ssjmichael · 03-05-2012, 07:41 PM

It's in the regular Blu-ray section. I think it's fine to have a thread in this section too since it does quality as a collectible/LE

I want to know what's inside. I really hope there's normal cases in those drawers.

All the extra swag in the world can't change the fact that the extended cuts are still out of reach. I'll still buy it when I have the money, but it's honestly not a definitive set until we have everything.

Sgt · 04-13-2012, 01:24 AM

Aren't the extended cuts exclusive to ABC Family? Only Stone and Chamber have extended disc releases at the moment..

Moleman1138 · 04-13-2012, 01:30 AM

Yeah the deleted scenes are inserted on ABC Family and the only EE's on Blu-Ray are the first two movies.

Creating the World of Harry Potter
Part 1: The Magic Begins

The magic begins. The choices, the breakthroughs, the early decisions that impacted all the films are explored here via rare footage, cast and crew reminiscences and more. Learn about the extensive search by producer David Heyman and director Chris Columbus for the perfect actors to portray Harry, Ron and Hermione and see the earliest meeting of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson.

Be on the scene as imagination and know-how combine to create a look that's distinctly wizardly. From details tiny (what about Hermione's buckteeth?) to huge (Quidditch, anyone?), this is the fun and fascinating opening of a whole new portal into Harry's world. Begin the magic.

“We really do look at the story and characters first,” producer David Heyman says. “That's the heart and that's the soul of the film.” And that's the heart and soul of this incisive, decade-spanning exploration of how the series' actors bring the beloved Harry Potter characters to life. Discover which parts of the J.K. Rowling books helped Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and more stars make their roles leap from page to screen.

See screen tests, including Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) and Jessie Cave (Lavender Brown) working with the established stars. Learn why so many of Britain's acting greats wanted to be part of Harry Potter's world...and which ones became mentors to the young stars. Share each director's vision as you watch Daniel, Rupert and Emma grow up with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Your journey into Harry’s world continues.
