Very Cool Box Set
I know many people want to wait for the box that will come out after the 7th movie, but as I want to watch the movies again prior to 2010, this made for an excellent hold over until then.

The box itself looks and feels like an old piece of luggage and there are lots of fun things inside. Each movie comes as a two disc set enclosed in a case resembling a text book. There are two extra "books", the interactive DVD game and an disc full of Harry Potter extras (various short documentaries for each film).

In addition to the DVDs, the box also contains trading cards and bookmarks. The cards are very cool, but the bookmarks are the highlight of the extras. They are of metal construction and are very detailed. There are bookmarks of Hedwig, Harry's Broom, a Golden Snitch, Gryffindor Shield, and Voldemort's Prophecy.

If you don't want to wait until after The Deathly Hallows or you just want a really impressive set to collect, I highly recommend you pick this up.

Extended Versions, Please
I have to agree. As owner of the first four movies, and as I sit here watching an "extended version" on Disney channel, I would love to see WB come out with a set of the "directors cuts" or "extended versions". I love the movies, but as I watch these extended versions, I can't help but think that I'm being cheated out of key scenes when I watch my theatrical versions. Please, next time you do a special edition, make it the extended/director's cut.

If you don't already have them...
I agree with a lot of reviewers, this box set is premature. No doubt there will be a fantastic set once the seventh film is released on DVD - in 2011. That said, this is a beautiful release. And, those that don't already have the first 5 films and now want them should look at this set. I luckily received it as a Christmas gift. I already have all the DVD individual releases, but I was delighted when I saw this.

The box is designed to look like Harry's trunk. And as such, it is filled with his "school books." The individual films come in sleeves that look like a book, and like books they are different sizes. A ribbon goes around them. The chest is very nice quality (far superior to the trunk the HP book set comes in!) with a hinged lid. The "bonuses" are very nice - especially the metal book marks. The trading cards are pretty, if useless. I haven't played the DVD game, and likely won't, but it is a nice extra for younger fans. The features content is what interested me, and it's well done. Overall, this set is worth buying if you can get it discounted.

Will I buy the ultimate set when the 7th film is released? Yes, I'm one of those suckers the studio is targeting. And another lucky member of my family will inherit a nice boxed set of HP for their collection.
