My favorite Potter film yet. Really looking forward to part two.

Are they really making a "Years 1-7 Part 1"? Just seems silly when they can wait a little longer.
I'll be getting the full set on blu-ray once the last movie is out.

So is this really the first time that there will not be a 2-Disc DVD edition? I will be buying the blu-ray but I continued buying the DVDs anyway just to have the complete set so that's kind of disappointing. A real letdown for those who do not own a blu-ray player. Either way the BD looks packed and while I wish they just used the theatrical poster I suppose the actual cover is okay. And yes, a 1-7 movie pack just really doesn't make sense this time around when there is still half a movie to go.
Bad cover art for both DVD and Blu-ray releases. And only additional scenes as extras on the DVD -- shame on you WB.
Easily the best in the series. Cannot wait for part 2. Dark, gritty, suspenseful, and leaves you wanting more. Plus the kids seem to have the hang of acting.
Seems like a cheap bazillion-dip with the years 1 - 7.1. I will just wait for the entire run. I have already sold all my first 5.
I agree about the part 1 part, silly. I don't dislike these films I just wish I could follow them from start to finish without being so very confused. One day I'll start over, over a few days and just go from part 1 to the very end and maybe that'll give me more understanding of it.
Once again, Warner Brothers gives a complete lack of extras to standard DVD users. I never thought I'd see the day when a Harry Potter movie didn't get a 2-disc DVD, and because of this, I'm fully convinced to get a Blu-Ray player sometime between now and April 15. The things I do for Harry Potter...
Once again I will be downloading for free because WB ignores DVD users. Anyway, this was a great movie and I cannot wait for part II. The box set is just silly though, why would anyone buy a "years 1-7 part 1" ??
Wow, those are hideous covers. Bad idea on the box set.
You know, I have 1-6 on DVD and it's really stupid too that this is the first Harry Potter movie not to get a 2-Disc Special Edition. I don't know. I'll probably figure out a way to get it but I'll probably be interested in getting the box set once the last film is out. This Potter release is a piece of s**t.
Amazing movie. Miles and miles better than the train-wreck that was "Half-Blood Prince." But the "Prisoner of Azkaban" remains as my favorite Potter movie, though.
I'm proud to say that this is my favorite of all the films, I will definately pick this one up on Blu Ray!!!
Art? Plain. Should have put some critic quotes. But I love the movie!
Wow, really? I'm getting so sick of this blu-ray favoritism. You don't NEED to watch a movie in high-definition, especially if you have a competent player that upconverts DVDs. I can't tell the difference between an upconverted DVD and a blu-ray half the time. DVDs had less than a 10 year reign on the market and already I'm expected to change formats again? No, I still refuse to buy these over-priced blu-rays that stick out in my collection like a sore thumb.
I'm looking forward to this, missed it in the theatre somehow.
Blu-rays are hardly overpriced these days, and if you can't see a difference between a blu-ray and an upconverted DVD then you're right. You shouldn't get a blu-ray player. You should get a new TV first.
...or an eye examination.

I completely agree. I've got a fairly new big screen HD tv, on which I've seen DVDs and Blu Ray movies. To this day, I've yet to tell the difference between the two. I'm really bummed that the DVD is so bare-bones, as my Potter DVD collection is one of the best series presented on DVD.

In Germany there will be a 2 Disc Special Edition DVD released by Warner. Why not in the US???

And just noticed that the UK will also get a 2 Disc Special Edition DVD

Wow, how pointless is that box set?
I can't imagine any hard core fans are going to want a set containing what is basically 6-1/2 movies in it. You've got to figure that some kind of super-ultra-mega COMPLETE Year 1-7 set will be released someday with scads of extra material in it.

Or you could accept the fact that you don't need to see peoples' skin cells to get more out of a movie, which isn't even what blu-ray offers unless the DVD transfer is terrible. I own two blu-ray players, 2 HDTVs and a handful of blu-rays. I would be just as happy watching them on DVD as I have on BD. People are so easily swept up with trends in technology.

People are also terribly xenophobic about new things, too. "DVDs don't look much better than VHS." "Why widescreen? I hate widescreen!"
DVDs have been on the market for 14 years. They're hardly being forced out prematurely.

Your argument is a very weak one. VHS to DVD was a much larger format switch because of a literal physical change in the format itself to a digital disc.
People preferring widescreen or full screen may be an opinion but fact is you are removing part of the film to format a film to "full screen". An upgrade in resolution is a far minor change then any of these previous changes and with up-scaling DVD players out there like the one I have, it gives people less reason and incentive to switch to the newest format. From across my living room and bedroom, an up-scaled DVD and a bluray look pretty similar. Too similar to really justify the extra cash right now.
On another subject, this might only be a single disc because it is only part one. They might be holding off for when they can sell the entire movie together to give it better treatment. Then after that they can make a full box set.

VHS was also the top home video format for 21 years, and changing from a tape format that incorrectly cut films to meet full screen standards vs. hey look now you can see that third arm hair on William Shatner isn't a very compelling argument. DVDs have been on the market for 14 years, but it took years for people to replace their VHS collections with DVDs. And blu-ray came out in 2006. I'd say DVDs had a reign of less than 10 years, which is absurd. Can't wait til the next format comes out in a few years and everyone's expected to replace their blu-rays.
Just because Blu-ray came out in 2006 doesn't mean DVD's reign ended there. Did HD DVD rule the marketplace when it came out? No.
The fact is that Blu-ray is considered an enthusiast format, so it's logical that it gets priority with special features. Warner is at a point where they don't need to burn the extra disc. They can fit all of that content on a single disc on the format most supported by people who care about such things.
Maybe you don't need the extra quality. Fair enough. But don't complain when studios devote more of their attention to a superior format that's beginning to match DVD sales when it comes to big name movies.

You've had two-disc editions the past six times, why aren't you doing it for this one? I'm not buying a bluray player. Just stop being obnoxious and make a two-disc edition.
There's always the slight chance that a 2-Disc DVD edition could show up as a retailer exclusive. Target has done some before so it could be a possibility. It's just a real surprise move from WB considering what a big title it is and that the UK and other countires are getting one.

"Just stop being obnoxious and buy a Blu-ray player." You see how that argument works? You're not owed a special edition, just as they're not owed your business.
