- For Those Of You Worried About Audio

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.

- Great Deal

Being from the US I wasn't sure if these DVD's would play, but they do. I saved a lot of money by purchasing from the UK. The DVD's showed up quickly and in perfect condition. I would definately purchase again.

- Great Fun and Excellent Value!

What a way to watch these films on the small screen - in glorious Blu-Ray!

I'm not going to review the movies as if you're even considering purchasing this you're already a fan!

Quality:
The first film is the only one which suffers from an average transfer, in my opinion. As the films progress the quality excels expectations. 'Order of the Phoenix' and 'Half-Blood Prince' are spectacular to behold and a joy to watch. The 1080p is crisp, fluid and never falters from the second film onwards and the special effects stun to the last second.
The other noticeable difference between the DVD and Blu-Ray transfers is that there is so much detail that you can feel the coldness of the brick in Hogwarts, for example.

The audio is excellent too. Plenty of options for purists but for people like me there's a handy little Dolby Digital 5.1 track on each movie that sounds amazing!

Extras:
Plenty of behind the scenes extras for each film. Interviews, special effects featurettes, the usual stuff. 'Half-Blood Prince' has a second disc chock full of special features, making ofs and interviews. A bonus being a featurette including clips from the forthcoming 'Deathly Hallows' films.

All in all and excellent purchase. Superb films for a Friday night, excellent ranging to stunning quality and amazing value into the bargain.

What are you waiting for Potter fans?

- Harry Potter BlueRay box set

Unbelievable value, when you consider how much it costs to buy the latest film on BluRay by itself, and 6 great films in a nice compact box set. Can't fault it!

- super value

loved harry potter series already but seeing the early years in bluray was a real eye opener. The dark screens and night time scenes are 100 % better in bluray. The sound is also out of this world. So much better than standard dvd. This collection was also super value for money.
