That's still WAY too much for an eight-film collection. Warners needs to get off their asses and do a comprehensive Blade Runner/Batman Anthology treatment for their biggest franchise. I'm sick of them constantly pushing out subpar double-dips like the Ultimate Editions, which aren't worth the shelf space or extra money.
That's the only way I'll double dip. Having Harry Potter: Years 1-7.1 plus DH pt. 2 is enough to tide me over until WB gets their act together.

I 100% agree with this. There's tons of archival behind the scenes footage, alot of deleted footage (CoS runs 3 hours and there's still some delted scenes, GoF had some, including Priori Incantatem and (an alternate ending), even some scoring sessions or something would be nice. Come on WB!

Contains 31 discs, inclusive of all content ever previously released, in addition to over 5 hours of never before seen special features, in a limited and numbered edition.
18 Movie Discs13 Special Feature Discs
- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Theatrical Version and Extended Cut
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Theatrical Version and Extended Cut
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 2D and 3D Versions
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 2D and 3D Versions
Includes multiple specially-produced, collectable memorabilia items, including concept art, a Map of Hogwarts and much more! Check back for further details coming in 2012
I thought DHp1 was never converted to 3D?
And how in the world do the movies themselves take up 18 discs???????
Includes both DVD and Bluray editions.
I for one, am disaappointed and will not shell out the cash for this.
Yes you are right. Apparently UltraViolet is not a digital copy you get to own - it's a service you sign up for, and whenever you want to what "your" digital copy you have to stream it through a live internet connection. lame!
So then it must be:
8 Blu Rays (1 for each movie)
8 DVDs (1 for each movie)
2 Blu Rays for 3D versions of DH
= 18 discs
What about the special features Blu-ray discs from the Ultimate Edition releases? That would make 24 discs.

31 discs...
Hmmm, maybe they threw in the 2-CD Complete Editions of the OS soundtrack of all movies, as well!

Well there's your answer right there. Harry Potter is their biggest franchise, so they can and are getting away with all the double dips. They know people will continue to cough up their money, and people are.
It'll probably drop to around $200 when nobody buys it.

Harry Potter sucks, so it doesn't matter to me either way. I only like Prisoner Of Azkaban.

Actually Harry Potter doesn't suck at all! It's one of the best franchises of all time, on the same level as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, James Bond, etc.
But I realized that personally I am only interested in the first 3 movies, for obvious reasons.

Yeah, harry potter is one of the best, and stayed consistently well-made throughout the entire series, and never really dipped in quality (imo), and there's not much franchises that don't do that, much less an 8-film-series franchise.

Quality wise, I think the series has its highs and lows. Highs being PS/SS, POA, OOTP, DH2 to banal mediocrity being COS, GOF, HBP, with DH1 being somewhere in the middle.

I'm really interested in why you think HBP falls under the "banal mediocrity" category... it's in my top 3 of the whole series. I think it has pretty much everything you can ask for.

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

This whole thing is asinine. Trying to say that is 31 discs is a misnomer. If it was 31 discs each with its own content then I can maybe justify it, but it comes with DVDs of the same content as the Blu-Rays. Make two different sets, one for Blu-Ray and the other for DVD. Stop forcing everyone to pay double.
Besides, if the DVDs are as cheap as these companies say they are, then the price of this thing should be much lower. Maybe $150. Or no more than the LOTR set.

That's correct. And there are more deleted scenes out there for those films - in fact all 8 films - that were not included in the special features of the original DVD/Blu releases - and also didn't appear on the Ultimate Edition sets, and also won't be appearing in this new 31 disc set!

Yeah pretty lame...and all blurays should include ISO scores. There's enough space, why not? Its minimal effort too, just slap the isolated score track on, edits and all. It would sure help some of my sfx laden edits.

Licensing might be an issue. Reissue fees might be an issue. Maybe they don't want to pay Leroy to sit down and actually process the isolated scores for attachment to the BluRay. Or maybe the BR producers are finally on to folks like us.

Indeed. I'd love to see Rik Mayall's Peeves, the Brain room from OotP or Emma Thompson playing drunk in PoA. So much great stuff we know was filmed. Just annoying.
