Who is buying Harry Potter? - Blu-ray Forum

DealsR4theDevil · 12-10-2007, 04:58 AM

I personally have no interest in Harry Potter. I read the first four books and I was never impressed with the movies. I have no plans to buy this. I have read many posts where people claim the sales of these titles may be definitive of Warner's choice.

If Blu beats HD DVD flat out like always then I would imagine Warner going Blu exclusive. If they come close to beating Blu or actually beat Blu then I see Warner continuing their daring strategy of "wait and see."

That being said, I wanna see how many people are actually gonna buy this.

Is anyone on this thread purple that actually going to buy the movies? If so, which format will you be purchasing on? 1&2 on DUD and 3-5 on Blu?

j/k

BStecke · 12-10-2007, 05:05 AM

I'm buying all five separately. I love the books, and the movies are pretty good. Like anything else, not as good as the books, but I still enjoy them a lot.

mystiksuicide · 12-10-2007, 05:17 AM

First and foremost I am getting LOST season 3 my most anticipated title of the year.

But I am also buying all 5 Potter films individually. I would love to get Masters Of Horror Vol 4 but that's going to have to wait for another day

Joon · 12-10-2007, 05:22 AM

I want to purchase the set, but knowing they are making another 2 movies. This is deterring me. I might pick them up separate. If I can ignore that they are released and I do enjoy these movies and hold out till they release the other two I will do that. More then likely by Christmas I will own all 5.

Yeah, I am so excited for LOST on blu! I can't wait for announcement of Season's 1 and 2.

I am also getting all the Harry Potter's seperately. I think I will hit a total of about 120 blu's this Christmas.

DrinkMore · 12-10-2007, 06:00 AM

The gift set should be here Tuesday from Amazon. Along with Lost

Frode · 12-10-2007, 06:11 AM

I'm buying the discs separately for customs purposes and because I didn't want the US Sorcerer's Stone edition. Because the poll is broken however I selected the box set to indicate I'm getting all 5 discs. Most of them actually shipped on Wednesday last week, so I'm looking forward to getting them

ulri4651 · 12-10-2007, 06:42 AM

just curious as to why people would buy all FIVE blu-rays individually? At $25 a piece thats $125. The box set can be had for around $80. Am I missing something here?

1 - There are 2 more movies coming out.
2 - People are anal and want BD cases and not cardboard cases.
3 - They think that each separate movie counts towards Nielson numbers.

Personally, I don't care. I will make my own cases

I really dont think HP will be the straw that determines WB's stance on HD vs BD...I think they have already made up their minds.

Mystique · 12-10-2007, 07:09 AM

I'm going to past up these movies. For some reason I never enjoyed them.

HP HATER! j/k

I will admit it's weird seeing Harry so young in the first film and gradually getting older.

mugen302005 · 12-10-2007, 07:13 AM

I slightly doubt that HP is not really going to be determinig in wb going blu.

Still, given the review for The movies In this forum, I canceled my order for the collectors set- the one I so hard had tried to get and had saved for.

If there isn't another bogo with fox' or sony' titles, this is going to be one heck of a christmas.

HD DVD has had some momentum lately. I don't think Warner cares but if HD DVD beats Blu on Harry Potter (or even comes very close to beating Blu with like 45% sales or somethin) then Warner might decide to wait a little longer and see where HD DVDs momentum takes it.
