Harry Potter DVDs disapparating from store shelves
 
As we reported this past summer, Warner Bros. has decided to pull Harry Potter DVDs from store shelves in 2007. This has been confirmed on davisdvd.com:

Quote:

The first three films - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - will go on moratorium on January 5th, 2007. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire will become unavailable beginning on January 22nd.
There is no word on when they will become available again, though rumors state that there may be Hi-definition special editions in the works.

=/ I was gonna go out and but Philosophers Stone on DVD as well since I only have it on video. Pfft Warner Bros.

Aww, that doesn't sound right. So I'm guessing the next films won't be on DVD either? Ali doesn't like that :lol:

I was planning to get a big boxset when they're all out, this changes things.

AliD 01-04-2007 04:22 PM

wow, thanks for letting us know this. It's going to be unavailable :(

I noticed the DVDs on sale in several stores around Christmas time. It looks like a good time to stock up ;).

I'm reminded of Disney with this and the infamous 'Disney Vaults.' I'll be looking for special editions at some point for sure. I'm hoping for director and actor commentaries on the next set.

Aww...i was hoping to get Philosophers Stone on DVD soon, since I got a lot of money for christmas...and it is cheap now, but there's no way i can go out and get it now...:(

Well i have all four films on DVD! But i got most of them off e-bay! So if you can't get them in stores then see if there is any on there!:D But is OOTP going to be availible on DVD then???*Looks around worried*

I do not doubt that OoTP will be available on DVD. It is possible that the whole series (as special editions) will become available again when Phoenix is ready to come out on DVD. Only time will tell I suppose.

[:/]...wasn't planning to buy DVD, but still..hope they return them soon :D

I already own all of them on DVD, but why would they TOTALLY take them off store shelves? Never heard of WB doing that before...strange/ At least it's 2007! the year of OOTP!!!!!!!

Pottermaniac 01-04-2007 05:10 PM

Why would they want to do that?

What's the point....

I noticed that too! But I haven't had money to buy any food let alone a new set of Harry Potter DVDs! *Sighs*

cutiepie0319 01-04-2007 05:12 PM

i already own all the dvds so it doesn't affect me but it sounds like WB is doing what Disney does because you can't get a lot of Disney movies anymore on DVD... i'm pretty sure OOTP wil come out on DVD but probably after acouple of months they will pull it

obsession8888 01-04-2007 05:31 PM

OOTP better be on DVD. hopefully they'll all come out on a box set!

BrigetteAlisia 01-04-2007 06:14 PM

if you think about it...it is a great marketing ploy

Mrs Felton 01-04-2007 06:17 PM

Luckily, I have all four on DVD, but that's a bit unfair to people who don't own them!!

JulieAnn 01-04-2007 06:21 PM

This is interesting, Warner Brothers is pulling a Disney. I have a feeling though, that like Disney, the movies won't up and dissapear, they just will not be getting restocking shipments, meaning the stores can finish selling the stock they have but will not get any new movies for a time being. I am sure that the next movie will come out on DVD and they will probably do the box sets, if not after this one, then definatly at the end of the series

JOpotter 01-04-2007 06:31 PM

>:/ WHAT? This is so stupid! :hairpull: Disney did this with their DVD's too. And they "bring them back from the vault" newly restored. It's not like HP is an old animation movie made in the 1970's. It's brand new! They just want to get money for when the next movie comes out by releasing it in a box set. Idiots. <_<

Come What May 01-04-2007 06:43 PM

I am going straight to the store this afternoon to get Sorcerers Stone and Chamber of Secrets on DVD. I have those in video.

How can they do this?! Their killing me here!

Its good & bad XD. Well yehaa for High-definitions *keeps both eyes out*

:shifty:

GinnyWeasley010 01-04-2007 07:45 PM

thats stupid =[

starlightangel 01-04-2007 08:07 PM

A shame, but i hope they do do a Disney.

Lissy Longbottom 01-04-2007 08:08 PM

Thank goodness I got the 2 disk edition of GOF for x-mas :) But OotP will probably be out on DVD and possibly blu-ray disk. Most people have DVD players now, and it wouldn't make sense for the movie to not come out. What else would it come out in if not on DVD? No one really buys VHS anymore. But why are they lifting them from shelves? So strange :no:

That's exactly what I was thinking. How annoying what people would do to make some extra money. :snide:
