DVD Description

This comprehensive box set features single disc versions of the following films:

Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Harry Potter learns on his 11th birthday that he is the orphaned son of a powerful witch and wizard and possesses magical powers of his own. At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry embarks on the adventure of a lifetime, discovering a world of magic and fantasy where he is destined to live.

Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets (2002)
Cars fly, trees fight back and a mysterious elf comes to warn Harry Potter at the start of the second year of his amazing journey into the world of wizardry. This year is a year of adventure and dange! Harry, Ron and Hermione must use all their magical abilities and courage to save Hogwarts!

Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban (2004)
It's Harry's third year at Hogwarts, but all is not well with the escaped prisoner, Siruis Black, on the loose! Harry and his friends spend their third year learning how to handle Divination. They also visit the wizarding village of Hogsmeade and the Shrieking Shack, which is considered the most haunted building in Britain. In addition to these new experiences, Harry must overcome the Dementors, outsmart a dangerous werewolf and deal with the truth about Sirius Black.

Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire (2005)
Beset by nightmares that leave his scar hurting more than usual, Harry is all too happy to escape his disturbing dreams by attending the Quidditch World Cup with Ron and Hermione. But something sinister ignites the skies at the Quidditch campsite; the Dark Mark, the sign of the evil Lord Voldemort. Harry longs to get back inside the safe walls of Hogwarts. But things are going to be a little different this year. Dumbledore announces that Hogwarts will host the Triwizard Tournament, one of the most exciting and dangerous of the wizarding community's magical competitions. One champion will be selected from each of the three largest and most prestigious wizarding schools to compete in a series of life-threatening tasks in pursuit of winning the coveted Triwizard Cup...

Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix(2007)
Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizarding community has been denied the truth about his recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort. Fearing that Hogwarts' venerable Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is lying about Voldemort's return in order to undermine his power and take his job, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, appoints a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students. But Professor Dolores Umbridge's Ministry-approved course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them and the entire wizarding community, so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry takes matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore's Army," Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.

5.0 out of 5 stars The boy who lived brought to life, 19 Nov 2007
By KM (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
Adapted from JK Rowling's amazing magical novels, this DVD boxset features the first five films in the Harry Potter series.

Year 1 - Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone:
Harry Potter learns on his 11th birthday that he is the orphaned son of two powerful wizards and possesses magical powers of his own.
Harry then begins his first year at Hogwarts and with the help of his new friends Ron and Hermoine, takes on Lord Voldemort for the first time to stop him from using the mysterious Philosopher's Stone.

Year 2 - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets:
Cars fly, trees fight back and a mysterious house-elf comes to warn Harry Potter at the start of his second year of a danger that may threaten his life. The Chamber of Secrets reopens and the heir of Slitherin returns to Hogwarts.

Year 3: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban:
With the escaped criminal, Sirius Black on the loose and terrifying Dementors on guard everywhere, this begins Harry's darkest and most dangerous year at Hogwarts.

Year 4: Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire:
When Harry Potter's name emerges from the Goblet of Fire, he becomes a competitor in a grueling battle for glory among three wizarding schools - the Triwizard Tournament.

Year 5: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix:
Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizarding community has been denied the truth about his recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort. Fearing that Hogwarts' venerable Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is lying about Voldemort's return in order to undermine his power and take his job, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, appoints a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students. But Professor Dolores Umbridge's Ministry-approved course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them and the entire wizarding community, so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry takes matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore's Army," Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.

The scripts stick very close to the books' storylines, with only a small few scenes missing in the first three films. Anyone who has read The Goblet of Fire though will find huge chunks of the story missing, such as the whole lead-up to the Quidditch World Cup and the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare (S.P.E.W) storyline. To be fair though, it is a massive book so I suppose some of the minor storylines had to be cut. The Order of the Phoenix is very similar to the book up to a point and then massive cuts and changes are made, which if you are a big fan of the books, will spoil the movie for you a little.

When I watched the first Harry Potter film I had already read the first four books and had created visions in my mind of what the characters and places all looked like and I could not believe how spot-on the cast and locations were, with only minor differences to the books.

The acting from the younger cast members does get progressively better as the films go on, mainly due to age and experience, although the three leads (Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson) do perform excellently from the start, providing fascinating entertainment. Older cast members include top well-known actors like Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Alan Rickman (Snape), Maggie Smith (McGonagall), Richard Harris (Dumbledore in years 1 & 2), Richard Griffiths (Vernon Dursley), Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), Michael Gambon (Dumbledore in years 3, 4 & 5) and Ralph Fiennes (Voldermort in years 4 and 5), to just name a few.

This boxset is one that every fan of Harry Potter should own and although the films are aimed more at children than the books are, they are still great fun to watch with lots of exciting action and are also full of laughs that the whole family can enjoy. The new slim DVD cases also save a lot of room on your shelves!

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointed with inconsistencies, 20 Aug 2009
I saw the reduced price for the boxset and thought it would be an ideal present for my niece who loves anything Harry Potter related ( she got that from me ) and it was a birthday present.

However when I unwrapped it to check it was in order , some of the five DVD's said it had only English subtitles.Being a region 2 DVD ( checked that before I bought them ) I assumed that they would have at least some other subtitles.to break it down

Year 1 has English ( Hearing Impaired ) , English , Arabic <--- not so good.
Year 2 has English ( Hearing Impaired ) , English , Arabic , Greek , Icelandic ( I was surprised there!! )
Year 3 has English ( Hearing Impaired ) , English , Arabic <--- not so good either!!
Year 4 has English ( Hearing Impaired ) , English , Arabic , Greek , Icelandic ( surprised too )
Year 5 has English ( Hearing Impaired ) , English , German ( Hearing Impaired ) , German.

So there is no consistency , and I feel a bit dissappointed as I can view the DVD's , while they're for my niece who isn't too strong in English , and I'd like there was some consistency to that.Moreover being in the same boxset , I'd thought there would not be any inconsistencies , although there are.Haven't seen the movies yet.

the only plus I can think is that there are English Hearing impaired subtitles , as I am deaf and I really like them when I find them.

We both looked forward to a movie marathon together , and have fun ( she's 12 and crazy abt the movies ) and now I'm considering returning the item due to that oversight.You should always provide detailed reviews and always detail out all the subtitles / languages , that should have helped a lot at least me that I had considered getting a movie , but due to not explained explicitly , I do not risk it.I risked it and see what happened.it would be not so bad if they were consistent even if they wouldn't have Greek , however two of the movies contain these subtitles and I'm thinking what to do.

I will get a movie review when I see the movies.So far I'm giving it two stars for the inconsistence.and I'm being honest because I think that everyone has a right to know what he/she buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harry Potter DVD 1-5 box set, 9 Oct 2009
By H. Davies (Coventry, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very good value set of the first 5 Harry Potter films. Please note that DVDs do NOT contain any 'extras' eg deleted scenes, interviews with the cast, behind the scenes or games like you get when you buy them individually.
