New Harry Potter Editions via Target - Blu-ray Forum

Jumpman · 08-13-2016, 07:45 PM

Caught these at Target today.

Basically, it looks as if the 2 Blu discs in the set are the 2 Blu discs from the Ultimate Editions release. Still, nice artwork. I might, might pick theses up...

They are very pretty.

That said, is there anyone out there who hasn't bought the Harry Potter films yet?

Aren't these the extended versions though?

I have never seen them since the original releases were so expensive. These seem like great low-priced alternatives.

They're very nice covers and my big box set is annoying to deal with, but $15 a piece is way too much for a re-buy. That's $120, more than the big box goes for.

First two films are extended. The rest are not. There's hope from fans that a future release with remastered video would possibly included extended editions from the rest. From what I understand, Newell, Cuaron, and Yates were all offered to do extended editions for their films and they declined....

I have all 8 films, but don't have the extended editions, nor the documentary series, so these are perfect. Plus the artwork is great. The UK boxset would have been the more affordable option, but it lacks the extended versions and uses weak disc slot packaging.

*Raises hand* These do look perfect for me as I haven't bought them yet and would like to introduce my daughter to the films, but I agree that at $15 they are too much. When they drop to $10 I'll bite.

InuYashaCrusade · 08-13-2016, 08:08 PM

$15 is way too much for these movies.

JAC805 · 08-13-2016, 08:17 PM

So are the features on the first disc the same features in the old prints of the blurays? I had no idea the other films did not have extended cuts

no kidding!! It always amazes me that people are going on about picking up new or reduced in price copies of films like these......

or titles like JAWS, ALIEN, the James Bond films, etc.... I just can't imagine waiting forever for "A" list titles like these....

I never had the chamber of secrets on Blu-ray, so I got that one!

I still have my Trunk HD DVD set and haven't bothered to get the Blu-rays to replace it. I do have Parts 6 to 7.2 on Blu though.

Zillamon51 · 08-13-2016, 10:47 PM

I have the big trunk with all the doors and drawers and do-dads. So I'm all set, HP-wise, for good. It figures they would release new configurations before Fantastic Beasts, though.

happydood · 08-14-2016, 01:30 AM

Be wary, friends. I know it's been said before, but the extended editions aren't director's editions. I wouldn't mind the extended doc, but the first versions were pretty loaded if they've dated a little.

goeagles5039 · 08-14-2016, 01:43 AM

So the only movies that really have extended editions are 1 and 2? So I have the regular 8 film collection. I'm just missing extended versions of 1 and 2 and the 8 part documentary?

WhiteTim · 08-14-2016, 01:48 AM

I got them the week they came out loved the Potter movies but never got the blus til now

Monterey Jack · 08-14-2016, 02:21 AM

I'll wait until Fantastic Beasts is about to drop, because you KNOW they'll re-issue all of the Potter movies w/Movie Cash tickets. I still don't own any of the Potter movies on Blu, and I stopped buying them on DVD after the fourth (I think).

J2005 · 08-14-2016, 02:24 AM

is it worth picking up for the extended versions cause I just bought the complete 8 film collection earlier this week

Up to you I prefer the extended if you're a features person you'll have the first 2 parts of an 8 part documentary (which is great) if you go for just the first two movies
