Smaller Harry Potter film box will be available after Wizard's Collection sells out
 

Warner Home Video’s EVP and GM of theatrical catalog Jeff Baker recently discussed the release of the Harry Potter Wizard's Collection, which he admitted will be the most definitive box set of the Harry Potter films, with Home Media Magazine.

Of particular note during the interview was that of the limited 63,000 copies of the collection that will be sold around the world, only about 30,000 to 35,000 will be available for purchase in the United States.

Baker also confirmed that a "less robust, more cost-effective version" set of the eight-film Harry Potter series will become available from Warner Bros once all 63,000 sets of the 31-disc Harry Potter Wizard's Collection have been sold out.

Jeff Baker: In order to make an event out of it and to make it special for people to want to step up and buy it and commit to the type of investment that was required, we felt that it didn’t make sense just to make some ungodly number and sell it forever. We wanted to make it a special one-time purchase opportunity.

Over the years, we have specifically aggregated and accumulated some footage that we’ve never released that’s part of the individual film releases, knowing that our plan and intention was to ultimately release it one day in a huge comprehensive box.

Clearly it’s for somebody who likes the whole notion of the complete repository of everything that ever existed on ‘Harry Potter’ — that, frankly, is ever going to be released on ‘Harry Potter,’ as far as I’m concerned. This is the definitive collection with everything in it. This is about as good as it’s going to get.

Pre-order the Harry Potter Wizard's Collection at the Warner Bros Shop, on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk (region-free) now.

I hope the smaller box set includes all the blu ray discs of the Wizard's Collection. It would cut down the price a lot if all the collectables and regular DVDs were taken out.

this is literally one of the biggest ripoffs i have seen in a long while.

"Of particular note during the interview was that of the limited 63,000 copies of the collection that will be sold around the world, only about 30,000 to 35,000 will be available for purchase in the United States".

Does that means that it will be sold outside UK and US too? Seeing as I could only find it on amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, and HMV website, I need some sort of confirmation before I pre-order it.

Well atleast there is something else to look forward to? Less money is always good!

Smaller version looks worth it compared to the other which is just a rip-off!

I don't really see a point of a smaller version.
