I thought the EXACT same thing.

They are for the most part matching the colors of the UE's

esoteric · 06-21-2016, 08:56 PM

I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for some unique HP Steels to come out. I figured they would bring something out this year celebrating the release of Fantastic Beasts.

These covers are gorgeous. Absolutely stunning. Warner are also rereleasing the DVD's and Blu-rays (same images as the French Steelbooks).

Fortunately HMV have been sensible and are splitting the release dates. Fortunate for my wallet too. The first four will be released 8 August 2016 while the latter will release 24 October.

Harry Potter - The Collection
The Harry Potter Collection in SteelBook® packaging is here now – this is a must have for all Harry Potter fans. Each SteelBook® case is treated with a Zero varnish and a cool embossing and contains 2 discs.

Inside art:

MifuneFan · 06-23-2016, 10:41 PM

Some really great choices used there, especially the early years

bevins2016 · 07-03-2016, 10:07 PM

I think the artwork is extremely generic. These will definitely go cheaper than original sale price quickly.

Edit: I mean the cover art, the inside art is nice.

Yautja · 07-03-2016, 10:08 PM

ugly looking steelbooks!

casperuk · 07-04-2016, 07:43 AM

I like the french releases better. But they don't have english text.

So I'm out

BigNickUK · 07-20-2016, 01:43 PM

As believed elsewhere these steels are exclusive in EU to HMV design. The French ones are believed to be amarays apparently.

HMV are just about to announce a new deal for them. If you re-order each batch of 4 you can now get them for £60. It works now, I have just reordered

what are you talking about ? french versions are steels

MifuneFan · 07-20-2016, 02:02 PM

The French steels have different artwork, but regardless these designs are also available at Amazon.it, and Amazon.de so not an EU exclusive

Sorry should have read the wording properly, my bad

Apparently (from a competitor site):

"HMV design confirmed as the ONLY steelbook design in Europe for THE HARRY POTTER COLLECTION.
(forget about the French set which, as mentioned previously, is more than likely to be Amarays in disguise)"

Dalekbuster523Bluray · 07-20-2016, 02:06 PM

The first six steelbooks look pretty. Part 1 and Part 2 however look far too dark, even if it matches the tone of those films.

that person clearly doesn't have a clue since everything they said is wrong

BizCat · 07-20-2016, 08:45 PM

Any word on any US releases for this set?
