Harry Potter 1-8 (2001-2011) (Hogwarts Collection / Wizard's Collection)

It's funny how people start bashing on extras all of a sudden when said extras fall outside of their price range.

You can see the old feature (which didn't include DH2) on youtube. The new one will include DH2 and new interviews.

The one that aired on ITV was at DH2's release. ITV made a new one that included DH2. They called it their Definitive edition. Some scenes were deleted from the list and new ones were inserted, some scenes changed place. They had to do interviews for the new scenes from DH2. Read the article below, it has some quotes from the new interviews:

"Today, an updated version of the ’50 Greatest Harry Potter Moments’ was aired in the UK. It saw the inclusion of scenes from the final two films and a running commentary from Robbie Coltrane.

You may remember that this special originally aired in July, but did not include anything from Part 2.

The full list can be seen below. Particular moments of incidence are, in my opinion; No. 2, which is the final duel between Harry and Lord Voldemort, taken from Deathly Hallows – Part 2 and No. 47, which included interesting insight from JK Rowling, wherein she mentioned how she had felt when first seeing the real-life Mirror of Erised: “I remember turning and looking into the Mirror and seeing myself: a published author, in a British Film Studio, where my books were being adapted to films… It sent a shiver down my spine”.

But those guys that waited and didn't buy the ultimate editions, this is the set. It was immensely predictable WB would release a UE box set with an exclusive bonus disc.

Well, those people will miss the great 86 minutes documentary, "When Harry Left Hogwarts". Made by an BAFTA-award winner documentary maker. Along with some other documentaries.It's not all about that TV-special. The most important documentaries of the bonus disc are: "When Harry Left Hogwarts" (86 minutes) and "Designing the world of harry potter" (23 minutes).

i really couldn't care less i already seen the 48 min version. 28 min more you are not gonna miss much at all. You still get the overall feel how it is even being 28 min shorter.

[UUUUGGGGHHHH]

If anybody buys this and would be willing to sell their bonus disc, I'd pay maybe $15 shipped for it.

The shorter version is fantastic. An extended cut isn't reason enough to buy the whole enchilada, but I sure am looking forward to it. If folks want to watch the short version without dropping a few hundred simoleans, they can buy the Target Blu-ray of 7.2 or import the regular UK Blu-ray.

the german version also has it. Its weird the US release does not have it though

And i agree there is no need for an extended of it. And looking at the bonus discs i am glad its not as much you miss out on for those that already bought the UE 1-6

Thanks warner for thinking of us to a little and there is many of us

WOW, that box is HUUGE! I honestly did not expect it to be that big.

I really hope this set goes down in price.

[Willdta]

*takes a deep breath* preorder..... im probably going to regret this but whatever. i already have all the movies from the steelbooks set i already have but i have no special features at all and i love this set.

Is it me or has Evanna Lynch gotten hotter?

I have to admit, that box set looks attractive. I have the Limited Edition box set from the UK that came out last December. I figured that would be enough. But, that thing looks like a beauty.

Considers.....

Quick question. Are all of the Special Features discs DVD?

Yeah I've probably re-purchased this series like five times (starting with the VHS days) but I'd gladly invest in this set.

Am I disappointed the extended cuts aren't included? Yeah, a bit. That already came into play back when the third and fourth Ultimate Editions came out (which I refused to buy as a result.) The Amazon backlash makes for an entertaining read in that regard

I'm all for the fancy packaging and the extras sound great; I've never seen "When Harry Left Hogwarts" and the extended version sounds intriguing. I suppose down the line I'll give in, once the price has settled.

[Traveller]

I have never bought any potter DVDs or blu rays. When the first movie came out I told myself I would wait until a collection was released such as this.

I just wish the box was not that huge... I'll probably order one soon though.. Seeing as though this set is "limited" what happens when they eventually run out? Maybe then they would do a disk only version?

[Josh5890]

I would buy this

[Show spoiler]If it had extended editions

[binarymelon]

I haven't had any issues with Harry Potter before, but can anyone verify that in Canada this set will contain HP and the Philosopher's Stone instead of the Sorcerer's Stone?

[moviebuff75]

Weren't some of the later movies partially in 3D at IMAX? I wonder why those aren't in 3D versions in this set? (I'm not including the final two movies, of course.)
