And now that the eighth film (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II) has been released on Blu-ray, you can bring home the entire movie collection in one comprehensive boxed set. It makes a great gift for the Harry Potter fan, even if that fan is you. But at $139.99 (list) or even the discounted price of $79.99 on Amazon, it's still a bit steep. What's a budget-minded Harry Potter fan to do?
Fortunately for bargain hunters, there are other options when it comes to satisfying your hunger for Potter in high def. The option we like best is the region-free version of the Blu-ray boxed set available on Amazon's UK web site. This boxed set includes all eight films on Blu-ray Disc and is region-free so it plays back perfectly on standard Blu-ray players in the US and Canada. But instead of that $139.99 or $79.99 price tag, you can take home this complete collection for 32.30 GBP, which works out to about $50! That's $6.25 per movie to own the entire Harry Potter collection in fabulous high definition 1080p resolution with dynamic, fully lossless surround sound.
We just put the set into our "shopping basket" and went to the check-out to find out there are some additional VAT discounts to non-UK residents that bring the delivered price down to $48.85 including shipping to the United States. Note that this price may change at Amazon's discretion and based on exchange rates, but the quoted price is current as of the morning of December 2.
What you get in the boxed set is all eight films on Blu-ray Disc. The first five films include the movies only, in high definition 1080p resolution with 5.1-channel PCM surround sound. The last three film (Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows, Parts I and II) include extensive special features such as deleted scenes, making-of documentaries and commentaries by the cast and crew. It's guaranteed to keep your favorite Potter fan entertained for hours.
Order one today and you'll have it in plenty of time for Christmas.
