Customer Reviews

Buy the stand-alone blu-ray disks...
This set is bizarre and seems thrown together from an odds & ends bin of spare parts. Inside the exterior "trunk", the disks come in two different sizes of folding cases that do not at all resemble a product family. You're really stuck storing all of the disks in this case forever because none of the disks has sufficient labeling to be on the shelf by themselves.

For uniformities sake, I'd much have preferred to buy the 5 blu-ray disks individually- especially knowing that another three movies will have to be purchased to complete this "set" in the future.

weird packaging
My husband and I pre-ordered this collection and boy, were we surprised when we opened the box! I was expecting the discs to be in regular cases but they are instead in cases of differing sizes, meant to resemble books. This is interesting but not particularly practical as the cases can not be closed properly and when laid flat the cover sticks up a bit. It's a pity also that the bonus DVD is not in blu-ray.
That being said however, the picture quality apprears excellent (as I expected) from the quick look I had at the first one, and the movie started playing right away (a a bonus if, like me you hate waiting for all the initial junk about copyright etc that usually comes on first). Pressing the menu button showed that there is indeed more than just the movie on the disc, the are deleted scenes and all the other fun stuff of the special editions.
So overall, I would recommend it as a good buy. I think though that using the same artwork from these cases, on regular sized plastic cases that can be closed, would be better.

A Pretty Good Boxed Set That Should Have Been Great
I would have loved to give this one a five star rating but I would be in denial to do so. First of all let me say for better or for worse I really enjoy all five of the Harry Potter movies. Sure I wish the last two films were longer but realistically it's impossible to convert a 700 plus page book into a movie that's two hours and change.

For the most part the movies here look spectacular. For the most part. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" looks really good. But for the price of a BD movie it should look a lot better. The rest of the catalogue looks terrific however, especially Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

As others have stated the packaging is rather cumbersome. I would have preferred the movies be in their regular blue cases as opposed to the cases that are different sizes. Still, I am sure most collectors will be happy with this set. Although it's not perfect, this set will probably make any Harry Potter fan fortunate enough to own a Blu Ray player happy.
