5 out of 5 stars Original Theatrical Releases - Blu-ray review    January 2, 2009

The question was asked but never answered. These are the original theatrical releases. They are not the extended versions with the additional scenes edited back in.

Once I get to watch them, I will write an another review describing the Blu-ray quality.

There movies are fabulous. And then take it up a notch by putting them on blue-ray. You just can't understand the difference until you try it for yourself. The set of all 5 movies was a steal at this price. For any Harry Potter fan this is a must!!

Just Like highly anticipated 'The Lord of the Rings' Trilogy & the movie 'Titanic' this set is a Must Have for anybody who likes the Magic of movies on the Blu Ray format..However wish they had some editorial review on the blu ray dics or more on the product description (like what special features these 5 dics contain etc) till then we buy at our own risk.



3 out of 5 stars Question regarding this product...    November 16, 2008

This isnt a normal review, but more of a question of this set. Over the years when any of the Harry Potter movies have been on tekevision, I have noticed additional scenes in each movie that are not on the original normal DVD discs that I purchased. Does anyone know if these blu ray discs are the special versions with the additional scenes added seamlessly in the movies? Whether or not they are hinges on whether I will purchase them...

Thanks!
