Amazon.co.uk Review
You get six films for your money here, as the Harry Potter franchise takes our bespectacled young wizard from his early days at Hogwarts, through to some of his darkest. And it’s wonderful to look back and see just how far the character, and the films, have come.
The weakest Harry Potter films are arguably the first two, but even these are really good family entertainment. Sure, they rely a little too much on the novelty factor, and they lack some of the edge of the later films, but they’re fine in their own right. The cinematic franchise only really kicked firmly into life though with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, a far darker, visually striking film that sets a tone and course that the subsequent films wisely follow.
Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire thus manages to pack a tremendous amount into its running time, before handing things over to the outstanding Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. And this box set then leaves us at the eve of the ultimate showdown in the Harry Potter saga with the brooding Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Different people, clearly, have different views on which their favourite Harry Potter film is. But it’s hard to argue that this is a compelling, quality collection of family films, each of which benefits generously from high definition presentation. Expect each disc here to be spun many, many times in the years ahead… --Jon Foster

Format:Blu-ray
There are several incorrect and misleading comments written in these reviews about the audio on these discs so it is time to clarify them from someone who has the discs and knows what he is talking about ( and no, I am not a world expert but you don't need to be a Rocket scientist to work it out )
The first five films in the series have English PCM 5.1 , PCM is pure uncompressed cinemtaic quality audio - even higher than true hd or dts hd-ma (though the difference in standards is minimal at best - they are all top notch) , it's the best sound you can get, enough said !
Some players will default automatically to the standard dolby digital 5.1 settings so you may need to go into the set up menu and select audio options to get the PCM 5.1 option selected - having said that , if you are just watching through a standard TV with no surround sound cinema system , it will make little difference.
The 6th film has dolby true hd 5.1 which is almost identical in quality to PCM but requires less space on the disc.
The confusion has arisen because the back of the box set only lists dolby true hd as the HD audio option - therefore less experienced blu-ray fans who can't find this option on the first 5 discs instantly start complaining without even realising what PCM 5.1 sound is.
Hope that clears it up.

Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
Wow! Amazed by this blu-ray collection! I really am:) First of all let me say I didn't use to be a Harry Potter fan until I have started to watch these wonderful fantasy-adventure movies. Then slowly my interest started to grow and it reached its peak, meaning the point I am now. I've collected the first four movies in DVD special edition until this box was bought...Purely incidental it was. Harry Potter is made for Blu-ray and I have to recognize that with new technological experience these movies are more and more growing in my soul. Harry Potter and the Half Blooded Prince seems to be the best and probably what's to come is the ,,epic" we were expecting for so long. Nevertheless all these movies are each a treasure even for us grown ups. The price I paid for this box was a truly bargain. If you don't own Harry Potter on Blu ray, buy it now! No Regrets, 100% guarantee! The special features are present on every disc as one should expect in a huge amount amount of extra minutes, most of them in HD, only partially in normal definition.

This box set is amazing value. All of the first 6 films in one box, and all for the cost of one visit to the cinema. Who doesn't want to watch these films over and over again? Well now you can. A really great buy of some of the best, action-packed stories around. Well worth buying.

It ends with a bang
This is the final chapter and it doesn't disappoint. The Bluray transfer is once again exceptional but the film is very dark in all ways and needs to be watched with the room... Read more
