I've added the prices to the post now (they were in the original story).

OMG I want this so badly! 8-hour documentary? WOW! Hope this will be avaliable in the UK and won't be too expensive!

Wicked!
Totally Awesome!

Wow, great news on this. I will have to get these sometime.

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed It!

Well that's just another HP thing to add to my Christmas list haha I really want that! It looks really awesome ;)

I will just buy the set of all 7 when they're done.

Oh, wow, they're pretty expensive!!! Don't know if I will invest my hard-earned money on it...perhaps later if they bring the price down. But exciting news all the same!!!

I would have to push the old ladies and children out of the way for my DVD collection

Okay the prices are a bit much ... and are they only releasing the first two in these ultimate collections?

I don't know that I'd want 2 as much as 1, but 1 for sure and movie 3 and 5 and 6 but not necessarily movie 4 ...

You can tell I've never really liked CoS :lol: well I like it but ... if me and the movies were on the Titanic and there was only room for one movie on the boat it would not be CoS :blush: sorry ...

Sweet! That'd be cool to get those!

Five...hours...of special features?! *faints in excitement*

ok first off why would you want to buy this boxset coz you know fine well that at the end of the series there gonna do a lord of the rings trick and bring out an extended 20 disc boxset of all the harry potter movies once they have all finished and been released. i dont see the point in people having 2 or 3 copies of the same film and wasting there money whilst warner bros get richer. i know where coming out of a reccesion but come on guys dont be daft use your heads and wait till the end. yeah sure itll be cool to see some extra stuff in the boxset but they will include it all in the final special extended dvd boxset of all the movies. that will more than likely contain all the deleted scenes that were filmed but never made the final cut for example number 1 the battle of bellatrix and sirius in order of the phoenix as we all know that they filmed it coz its in the deleted scenes of the dvd, and 2 also in hlaf blood prince where dumbledore says to harry i am not worried i am with you thatll be in the forthcoming dvd release. to be honest there trying to squeeze as much money from people as possible as they know that this film franchise is coming to an end. i had a comment a few days ago saying that people were not feeding warner bros pockets they just use the extra income for a bigger film budget, wake up already they made 900 million from half blood prince and the film budget has already been set. yes this is another ploy to fill the greedy bosses at warner bros. if they were,nt greedy they would have kept critical parts in the movies such as the battle of belatrix and sirius, made the duel between dumbledore and voldermort last more than a mere 55 seconds and they could have included a better ending to half blood prince with the funeral and battle being cut that is. so i say save ya money and wait til 2012 and i reckon thats when the most satifying boxset of all will come out and buy it then. dont forget warner bros gets a huge profit from the new theme park in orlando thats opening in spring. using the money that they make from these extra dvds there bringing out for a bigger budget movie,,,,, dont make me laugh.lol.

I will be buying this! :) I want the extras and the extended plays!! :)

I want. I WANT. I want. I really want to buy it but the price tag is a bit high. But it's Harry Potter so.... :P But it does include a LOT of stuff.

my GOD that includes a heck of a lot of stuff! they're trying to exceed the amount of stuff that can fit on a dvd. it is cool, but will NEVER have that much money!! especially since i go to the mall every other weekend:blush:

Hmm wonder if this will be worth it. Honestly doesn't seem like there's a lot added to this new edition of the movies. All the extras seem interactive. And, personally, I think the colours for the covers look all wrong. Philosphers should be red, for the intro of gryffindor, and chamber should be green. and speaking of philosopher's, think there's going to be a philosopher stone addition?

Sounds like another money grab from WB.
