Just got Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

[DrinkMore]

Just got done watching this. Excellent. (not the blu version). Did not get a chance to see it in theatres.

[WickyWoo]

could be a dumb question, but I have the Harry Potter box set pre-ordered on Amazon, from some of the posts, it almost sounds better to by individual? Why are some saying the box set isn't that great?

Because it only counts in the Nielsens as 1 unit sold, and becaue they want it in normal cases instead of the snazzy box packaging

the books of The Bourne Trilogy were a million times better. Mostly because I read them years and years ago and the movie is NOTHING like the books. Completely different story after about the first 5 minutes of movie #1.

The movies on their own are good, but the better story is in the books.

That is good to hear that they did not mess up the picture transfer.

The battle toward the end with voldemort and dumbledore is just amazing.

Yes it is. It is also amazing to see how much Harry and the gang have grown up.

I hope somebody will upload nicer pictures.

[Ultimatallica]

I just made an account here to ask what you guys thought in regards to buying all 5 or just getting the box set, and then I saw this thread. I'll definitely be getting all 5 now. The Die Hard set is going to have all 4 movies packed up in their boxes, right?

[The Big Blue]

That is really sad. Right about now a lot of people are wishing you were interested in hi-res pics.

I think you are standing too close to the covers when taking the pictures. Unless you have some macro setting on the camera just step back alittle. You might also have it on "A" setting which means you need to hold the camera securly to prevent shake. You should be able take a decent picture with 2MP.

[andyparhelia]

are there any reviews of any of the harry potter blu-rays yet? I can't find anything myself

But only on the audio? I haven't seen any reports of separate video encodes of the main feature.
