Growing Up With Harry Potter

December 2, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

One of the most unique things about the Harry Potter series is how it managed to keep the same group of actors throughout its entire run, and not only that, but it saw many of them grow up from kids into adults.

With the release of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 2 on DVD & Blu-ray, we thought it was the opportune moment to take a look exactly how Harry has aged from a little kid to a young man through the movies, and how we’ve been able to follow his journey through a truly extraordinary series of film.

Just click the first image below and then use you right cursor to see Harry grow up through the eight flicks.

Harry Potter has undoubtedly been one of the greatest phenomenons in movie history. It’s managed eight films without a dud, grossed more cash than any other franchise in history, and perhaps most impressively has kept nearly all the same actors throughout its run. It’s been a part of many people’s lives for a full decade, especially those who’ve grown up alongside Harry and co. Indeed, when I saw Deathly Hallows Part 2 in the cinemas I was sat behind a university-aged young man who announced as the end credits began to roll, “Well, that’s my childhood over.” [Read more…]

Potter DVDs Leaving Shop Shelves

October 25, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

While it hasn’t 100% been confirmed that the same thing will happen in the UK, it appears it’s going to get a lot more difficult to get hold of Harry Potter on DVD and Blu-ray in the New Year, as Warner Bros. has announced they will stop shipping new orders of Harry Potter Blu-rays and DVDs to shops starting on December 29th.

At the moment this is just confirmed for the US, but it appears it’s Warner’s plan to have a worldwide moratorium on Potter. It wouldn’t be surprising if us Brits get a little bit more time though, as the plan includes getting Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 2 and any box sets off the shelves, and seeing as the last Potter flick doesn’t arrive in UK shops until December 2nd, Warner would be giving themselves less than a month to make all the cash they can from the film before they stop taking new orders of it.

Disney employs a similar strategy of pulling some of its classic titles, such as Snow White and The Lion King, out of the vault with brand new editions after being unavailable for several years (with Disney, it’s normally a seven year cycle). It is unclear how long this Harry Potter moratorium will last, but if you want a complete matching set of first edition packaging, you’ve only got a limited amount of time.

I wouldn’t expect this moratorium to last that long, and it wouldn’t be shocking to hear that Warner already has new DVD and Blu-ray edition planned for the coming years, with more bonus features etc. Indeed there’s long been talk of extended versions of the movies being released and 3D versions of all the film are in the works.
