The book and film series of HARRY POTTER may have finished, but Warner Bros. want more of your money. Luckily for us, it looks as though they are certainly going to earn it with the release of this 31 disc box-set. That’s correct, I did say 31. This set will contain Blu-ray, DVD, and UltraViolet Digital copies of every film. There will be extended cuts of HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE and HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS. As well as 3D versions of HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HOLLOWS Parts 1 and 2. It will also contain new and exciting never before seen bonus features. For an example of such features, here’s a quick glimpse between author J.K. Rowling and screenwriter Steve Kloves. It is also presented in some gorgeous packaging and comes with exclusive memorabilia. It’s going to cost £177.99.
Now before you go too crazy, this box-set has been met with severe fan backlash over at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk as the majority of this material is just repackaged versions of previous releases.
