Ultimate Harry Potter Collection

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 12, 2012

I'll start by saying that I am quite satisfied with this purchase now that I have it; I was pretty hesitant to spend so much before. It has loads of bonus goodies, all 31 discs as promised ("Exclusive Bonus Disc" is tough to find, but it's in there), but read further to get the details about the issues with the Philosopher's Stone Blu-Ray (for which I deduct one star from my rating)...

SIZE -- This box was much bigger than the pictures online made it look, to me at least. It's about a foot tall and weighs roughly 20 lbs, so it's going to take some creativity to display it in my living room, as it definitely won't fit on the DVD shelf.

# OF DISCS -- Most of the movies come with 4 discs each (Blu-Ray, DVD, special features, Creating HP special), except for the Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix which have 3 discs (leaving out special features) for a total of 30 discs. The box advertises 31 discs, and it took some hunting through this box to find the elusive "Exclusive Bonus Disc". Reach in to the very back wall, where there is a hidden tile that you can remove, and it's tucked in back there. There are also 4 discs for the digital copies (2 movies per disc) that are not included in the count.

ISSUES -- One problem that has already been pointed out by other reviewers is that the Blu-Ray for Philosopher's Stone is supposed to contain the extended edition of the movie, but it does not. I assume that there must have been some error in the production of the discs, and I will be writing a sternly worded letter/e-mail to Warner Brothers in attempt to get what was advertised. Personally, I'm not really all that concerned... It's an extra 7 minutes of film that I can probably live without, but the disc is also supposed to have a fancy "In-Movie Experience" with interactivity, picture-in-picture, storyboard comparisons, and stills galleries. This feature seems to be disabled as well. These features are also advertised for the Chamber of Secrets, and that disc seems to work fine.

GOODIES -- Extra stuff in the box: In the smallest "click to open" drawer, the scroll with the codes to activate the digital copies. In the other one is the Slytherin's Locket horcrux. There is a hidden flap at the top of the box, behind the first movie, that houses the "Catalogue of Artefacts" book, a canvas map of the Hogwarts grounds (I might iron this out and hang it on a wall; it's really cool), and a blueprint poster of Hogwarts. In the thin drawers you can find a colour book of the "Label Collection", an envelope including five postcard size black-and-white Stuart Craig sketches, a numbered certificate of authenticity (out of 63,000) and eight 8.5x11 prints, one for each movie (they are beautiful). **I hope I'm not missing anything**

PRICE -- I preordered this in March 2012, so I am entitled to the Pre-Order Price Guarantee, and I did see the price dip as low as $280 over the summer, but I was charged the $300 that was the price on its release date, so I expect Amazon will be crediting me the extra $20 in the coming weeks. They are usually pretty good for that. I notice that now that the release date has passed, the price has jumped to $350, but I saw it at Costco yesterday for $300, so I would suggest it might be worth shopping around if you didn't get in on the release date price here.

A Wonderful Set!!!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 26, 2012

I had been so excited to say the least for months ahead of time and as the date rolled closer I got more nervous I would be disappointed. I read a lot of negative reviews and I must say, I would really like to know what those people were expecting because what I got was a WONDERFUL box set, in a sturdy box with lots to look at and to truly immerse yourself into the world of Harry Potter. One of my favourite parts of it is the artifact catalog. It allows you to get a closer look at some of the items in Harry Potter. The movies come in great little booklets that tell you exactly what's on the disc and includes a great 8 part documentary called Creating The World Of Harry Potter. Although the price may seem a little high, you really got to think about what your getting. The discs alone would cost a lot... 8 blu ray movies, 2 3D blu rays, that already makes the price over 200$. Not to mention the bonus features, the great objects it comes with like a horcrux, a fabric map, a blue print of the castle, sketches and MORE!!! So you're actually really getting a great deal. I am a huge Harry Potter fan and I feel this box set is a great set to own for years to come! It's a great buy! And I just had to come and write a great review because I couldn't stand it's rating being so low by people outraged at the price or think it's just not worth it. A true Potter fan would greatly appreciate it for YEARS to come.

Nice set if you don't own the Ultimate Editions - CHECK YOUR PHILOSOPHER'S STONE DISCS

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

EDIT FOR OCT 29, 2012: After more than a month, the replacement disc for the Philosopher's Stone has finally arrived from Warner Bros Canada, and I have verified it to be the corrected disc. Updated my star rating to reflect my feelings about the set (as mentioned in my original review). This is a nice set to have if you have not purchased the Ultimate Editions individually, but if you have, your mileage may vary depending on how much you value the trinkets included in this edition (including the final bonus disc which may or may not be released by Warner Bros in a separate edition someday).

--------------

EDIT FOR SEPT 26, 2012: After a long wait from WB Canada, they have finally acknowledged the problem, and have given an email address to contact. Email Heather.Borg@warnerbros.com with your name and mailing address to have your replacement disc sent to you. I will update this review one more time once I have received the replacement disc and verified the content.

--------------

ORIGINAL REVIEW: I received the set last week, and the set itself is really huge (and packaged well by Amazon). The set is indeed pricey, but a bit reasonable if you did not own any of the Extended Editions (which I didn't).

Normally, I would probably give this 4 out of 5 stars (I would deduct one star, because only the first two movies have Extended editions and I could have lived without any of the Feature film DVDs included in the set if it could have helped bring down cost a little bit).

The reason I am giving this ONE STAR only is to alert anyone who would read the reviews with the problem with the Philosopher's Stone movie Blu-ray, where it does not contain the Extended Edition and PIP content as advertised, but is really just the original Theatrical edition Blu-ray with a different label slapped in.

I tried contacting Warner Bros Canada about this, but WB Canada's email and phone number isn't really that easily accessible online. I was actually finally able to find a Toronto office number online: 416-250-8385 after searching through different message boards. I emailed WB US and WB UK (like I said, can't find an email address for WB Canada), but still have not received any sort of response after a week, even just to acknowledge my email.

I emailed Amazon.ca just to see if they can help at least with providing contact info, since they work closely with their distributors, but only got this canned response:

"Hello,

I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

In my experience, the quickest way to have this issue resolved is to contact the studio directly for missing Extended edition.

Many studios list their contact information online. You might want to try doing a web search to find Warner Home Video's phone number or website.

If you've contacted the studios and they can't help, please send us a summary of that correspondence and we'll work on another solution."

Gee, thanks. Like I said, it's not like I didn't try already, and right now, I can't even send a summary of the correspondence with the studio since they won't respond to me at all.

Amazon.com (US) and Amazon.co.uk have already put a hold on selling these items because of complaints from customers (UK and Australian customers are even more screwed than Canadian customers because of the sheer number of errors on their sets), but I see that Amazon.ca is still selling this as of Sept 18, 2012.

Warner Bros quality control really dropped the ball on this high-profile release.

My certificate number is around 23000+ out of 63000. If your set is in the same range and you purchased it in Canada, I would strongly suggest that you check your Philosopher's Stone movie Blu-ray if you are having the same problems as I am (and a number of other people, from what I've read in other discussion forums).

P.S. I have also read from other forums who wrote to Amazon.ca that their solution to this problem is to ship this 25 lb monster back to them. Seriously? That's your solution? One defective disc, and send you back a limited, numbered set?

Leider sind wir sehr wütend, da bei Amazon Deutscher Untertitel dabei steht. Als wir es bekamen ist aber nur Niederländisch und Französisch geschrieben. Wir brauchen aber Untertitel, da wir Schwerhörig und Gehörlos sind. Finde das nicht in Ordnung, und habe es dann wieder zurück geechickt. :-(

Jewels of the Blu-ray catalogue in the treasure chest that they deserve

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 17, 2012

Verified Purchase

The doorbell rings, and amazon's courier gives you a carton the size of a mini-fridge. You take out yard after yard of scrunched up paper, lift out your box and wonder whether your shelves are strong enough to hold it. You open it, you remove the protective polystyrene and tissue paper and there, at last, immaculate in its claret faux-leather glory, is your very own Wizard's Collection.

It opens on its metal hinges with reassuringly luxurious smoothness. Clearly its heavy-duty cardboard is sturdy enough to last a lifetime. Crafted by the movies' graphic artists, its interior glows with Hogwarts's house colours. Pull the drawers' metal handles, and nestling in black velvet-textured surrounds are eight book-like disc albums, each designed to match its particular movie. We get ten movie Blu-rays, including 3D discs for VII and VIII, eight movie DVDs, nine special features Blu-rays and special feature DVDs for movies I to IV.

And then, tucked away in their various drawers and compartments, there are the collectables. A Horcrux locket; a 48-page hardback Catalogue of Artefacts; a Label Collection book; a blueprint of Hogwarts castle; a 24" x 36" map of Hogwarts and its surrounding areas; a scroll with your UltraViolet redemption code; a beautiful numbered Certificate of Authenticity; five 7" x 5" sketch prints; and eight full colour concept paintings that just cry out to be framed for your living room wall. In effect, you have enough Potter goodies here to furnish your own little Potter art gallery.

Negatives? While the Blu-rays of movies I and II include extended director's cuts as well as the theatrical editions, the other Blu-rays don't - which may disappoint you, until you learn that extended director's cuts of movies III to VIII simply don't exist. And it's a little trickier extracting the discs from their albums than a clumsy person like me would like. Other than that, I can think of nothing to criticize.

Two footnotes. If you're thinking of buying the Collection from outside the UK, you should know that while the Blu-rays are region-free, the DVDs are locked to Region 2.

Secondly, there's no denying that although the Collection is cheaper in the UK than elsewhere, it is still very, very expensive. If you'd been hoping to buy it for a child or grandchild but decide not to, there might be a good alternative. The Blu-rays are available in a budget edition in one of the catalogue's best bargains - Harry Potter - The Complete 8-Film Collection [Blu-ray] [2011][Region Free ] - and there are two lavishly illustrated full-colour books about how the movies were made: the 160-page Harry Potter Film Wizardry (Revised and expanded) and the 532-page Harry Potter: Page to Screen . Either volume would give any Harry Potter lover the Christmas of a lifetime.

This box set is so amazing, having Hogwarts Castle on the cover, is so cool. I have the DVD covers and wanted Blu-Ray so when I saw this, I could not resist. And the size is nice and small so does not take up much room at all. Would definitely recommend buying this.
