Harry Potter: The Complete 8-Film Collection (BD) [Blu-ray]

Great value for money.
If you want to buy all of Harry Potter's movies in a single package, and you don't care much for extra features, look no further. At less than $7.00 per Blu-ray, this set gives you great value for your money.I wasn't a fan of the Harry Potter saga when the movies first came out. In fact, it was not until the 3rd movie, Prisoner of Azkaban, that I decided to give in to the hype, and watch the first movie. I was hooked, maybe not to a hardcore level that would compel me to buy all the books and collector’s editions, but just enough to want to have all the movies in high definition.This collection has all 8 movies for $54.99 (at the time of writing). When you realize that you get all the movies for just under $7.00 each, the decision becomes fairly easy. The box is very compact for such a (big) collection. It has roughly the thickness of two regular sized single disc DVD/Blu-ray boxes put together.Do keep in mind that this collection includes the movie discs ONLY. You do not get any extra discs with any features, though the movie discs do have a few extra features here and there.Another thing to note is that not all the movies have the same languages. For example, the first movies (first four if I remember correctly) have 10 to 15 different language audio tracks available, but the rest have only English, Spanish, French and Portuguese (again, IF I remember correctly).It seems to me that these collections are some sort of clearance of individual film box sets. For the sake of making a point, suppose that each movie is first individually sold in box sets that include the movie disc, and an additional disc with special features. Now suppose that you take only the movie discs from all 8 individual box sets and put them all together in a single box set. This is what you are getting.The reason I think this might be the case, is that the last 3 movie discs have extra labels printed on them, which read either “Disc 1 Movie” or “The Movie”. These labels are usually printed on discs that are part of a box set that includes other discs with additional features, as a guide to tell them apart. I am including a photo so you can see what I mean.Do keep in mind that this does not at all affect the quality or experience of the movies. I just point it out because you might notice the lack of consistency in the printed labels of the discs.To wrap things up:PROS- Great value for money, at less than $7.00 per movie at the time of writing.- Consistent video and audio quality. Great image and great sound in all the movies.- Several extra features included in all the discs.- All 8 movies neatly stored in a compact case.CONS- There are no discs dedicated to extra features. Most people will probably not care about this, but if having a lot of extra features is important to you, then you might want to check out another collection.- The disc case feels cheap, especially the disc holders. They feel as if they would break easily.- Inconsistent language audio track selection. Not all movies contain the same amount of available language tracks.NEUTRAL- No extra artwork included.

Review is for the 4K Ultra set for 99.00
Amazing set, every disk played great and the color and sound are outstanding. There are also just plain Blue Ray disks in this set also, I wanted the 4K HD and it was worth it. I love Harry Potter and am about to switch to all streaming which means no more ability to tape shows, so stocking up on my fav Blue Ray. Wish they made more shows with this great option. . With more people switching to pure streaming I think sales will boost for disks. This review is for the higher priced set. I see people reviewed other sets were less favorable. This set is great.

Gives a visual look at some of the great scene sequences.
Love having our own copy of this great movie set. The story line and attention to detail of the plot means that we notice new items when we watch them more than once. I've read the books, as well, and the movies don't vary too much from the books, except to improve the story. The special effects are why I sprang for the movie price and they do not disappoint; could find no fault in their execution. One little point and that was expected, an increase in the appeal to buy Harry Potter material in the post film set market. That's why they made fast forward..

Excellent sound and picture quality
So I am one of the few people on the planet apparently that has never received these movies. Never read the books either. I did however find myself in New York City last month and with time to kill my wife suggested me go to the Harry Potter store. I mean it was a cool star and all but nothing in there meant anything to me because like I said I've never seen the movies. Now after we returned my wife suggested well you know what, they are pretty good films maybe you should watch? So I jump on Amazon and there's at least a dozen different two choices to buy the collection of movies. And the prices randomly move around upwards of $125 if you want Blu-ray and then there's some of the descriptions that say these don't work in United States.. so I just went ahead and got the bear basic simple DVDs and we have already watched the first two. The sound quality is great, the picture is really nice even though I don't have that awesome of a DVD player these are in letterbox format but the black areas above and below are minimal. , if your sole purpose isn't because you want a collection's edition or Blu-Ray or anything but you just want to see the movies because maybe you haven't yet or you want to see them again and they're not currently streaming anywhere... This is the collection you want to buy.
