Emma Watson is so sexy.

does anyone know when the full years 1 - 4 boxset is to be released?

The only way I will buy all three of the movie's is if it is in DTS Surround I hate dolby digital it sounds like c**p. I dont know why they put out so many good movies with no DTS but that c**py dolby digital is on every one. Man I wish they would put this in DTS god that would make this movie perfect.

That sucks!

TOO many versions [quote=MJJ71 wrote]I'm getting tired of these separate single disc and 2 disc editions. What happened to the days when there was the one 2 disc edition offered at a reasonable price..and inserts!

I too am tired of all these foolscreen/widescreen single disc and widescreen 2 disc versions of  films, They seem to be coming from WB. Batman returns, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, now Harry potter Goblet of fire. WAY TOO much money for the same 2 disc versions offered years before for the $19.99. NOW for some reason the 1 Disc is $19.99 and the 2 Disc versions range from $24.99 to $30.00. Paramount put out Lemony Snicket 2 disc for like $24.99 and Dreamworks put out War of the worlds 2 Disc for $30.00.

RIP OFF. when movies like Star Wars 3, The Incredibles, etc come out with 2 Disc versions for $19.99 makes you p**sed these other studios are getting greedy with there 2 disc sets.

The ONLY good thing about these Expensive version are that they have the same release date as the single disc so YOU have the choice from the start which you prefer to buy.

I just want to know when I can reserve my copy! :p

No, like the previous three movies, the deleted scenes will not be re-inserted into the movie. They can only be accessed through the second disc on the 2-disc edition. But they might do it for the television airings on ABC...

I see a lot of complaints about the two-disc artwork and its bland greyness. But something hit me...is it possible that it could be metallic silver instead? That's an improvement, in my opinion anyway.

Reflections on the Fourth Film (14:11)

Harry vs. the Horntail: The First Task (5:51)
Preparing for the Yule Ball (8:39)
In Too Deep: The Second Task (9:23)
The Maze: the Third Task (6:30)
He Who Must Not Be Named (10:40)

Well there ya go! That's 70 Minutes of Making-Of Features. Not a huge amount, but about three times the amount there was on the previous dvd. Add in to that the always enjoyable interview with Dan, Emma and Rupert, and we're getting a pretty substantial dvd. Not to mention the additional scenes, possible rumoured Director's Commentary....This DVD is definitely a great improvement over the previous.

I am hoping that once she finishes the last Potter book, she will find some time to sit down and actually do commentaries on each film. She seems so funny and insightful about the books in interviews, pair her up with the screenwriters for a commentary, and it'd be perfect.

I would double-dip on the complete box set of all 7 HP films in a heartbeat if she did commentaries on any or all of the films (that would be the only buying incentive for me). I mean, Nicolas Sparks did a commentary for "The Notebook", surely J.K. can do one for the Potter films if she feels like it.

If you say there is 8 documentarys on the release. Then the back boxcover is clearly false or maybe the trailer is false. It is clear that either the trailer or the backcover is false information

Well, the Back-Cover does indeed list 7 Making-of Features. Look at it for yourself. The problem is, it doesn't exactly say what they are on the back cover. It's not false information, it's just not clear. This sight lists them as games, when they are in fact features. It indeed lists them though, (Harry vrs. the Horntail, Meet The Champions, etc), and in the trailer, it shows them again and says they are Docs. Watch the trailer for youself.

Check out the back cover of the box set. For the 4th film special features, it says: "triwizard tournament and Voldemort features". This is what I'm talking about. There is a making of feature for each of the tasks, as well as one on Voldemort and one on the champions. There is one on the Yule Ball, and A Reflection by the Filmakers on the film in general. Presumably there is one more aswell, as the trailer lists 8. I just listed you 7 though.

Maxsplat... you almost didn't read the book because you think the movie might not live up to expectations three years from now?  I pray that was sarcasm.  I think the HP DVD releases are about a 7.5/10.  They're not great but they're adequate and they seem to be getting better.  I'm sure we would all love to see our favorite movies get the "LOTR treatment."  At least for some of the big budget complicated movies.  I doubt you'll hear too many people begging for a 4-disc set for Capote, as good as it may be.

Ich weiß nicht ob mich wer versteht aber egal =)
Ich freu mich schon so sehr auf die DVD!!!!
Ich hab den Film erst 2 Mal gesehen und das auf Deutsch und ich möchte ihn endlich auf Englisch auch sehen!! =) Und die zweite DVD dazu die viele Sachen ausprobieren... ;D
Hab euch alle lieb^^ =D lol

On the special features on the 2 disk special edition it mentions additional scenes, now are these included in the movie or a seperate feature?

I liked the movie, I like the cover art, i'll most likely get the two disker.

omy god! this widescreen cover art is beautiful, but the 2 disc delxe edition is terrible, everything is grey! I would prefer that WB change cover art(widescreen transformed to 2 disc deluxe edition, and deluxe edition transformed to widescreen, you understan). But in fact ill be buying the 2disc edition

LLcruize wrote: I will be thrilled if there are 8 documentaries, though not holding my breath. My comments are mostly for all the DVD's in the franchise to date.

The kids haven't really been in much more beyond the movies, a cast commentary surely could have been squeezed in. Ratclif is playing one of the most popular heroes in modern literature, surely they can make him some time to sit down and lament about playing THE wizard and the process of making the movies. These little "reflections" segments are fluff. No depth to them. There has been valuable time lost, it would have been great to hear him do a commentary during each film and see how he progressed from film to film. Now, any commentary done will be way after the fact. Or maybe, they do have commentaries and they are holding on to them for some mega release.  

It is just a shame what COULD be on these and isn't given the size of the world. Say what you will about the prequels of Star Wars, at least the time was taken to give fans in depth making of documentaries, deleted scenes and commentaries. Basic stuff, but stuff that makes the DVD more enjoyable.

But it's not a question of *if*. There are in fact 8 Making-ofs on this dvd. But I understand what your saying about fluff. Hopefully they are of good quality. I agree that the features on the others have been sub par, but clearly they will be far more indepth this time around. 8 Docs as opposed to, what, the One that was on the last dvd?

I don't mind that they're releasing both single and a double disc versions. What they need to stop is the full- and widescreen versions. Drop the full screen altogether.

Just FYI: Warner Bros. is releasing Goblet on BluRay on April 11th. Let the format wars begin!

There is only 2 making of features on the DVD. If you look at the backcover you clearly see only 2 and those are about the Yule ball and one about the fourth film. So I have no idea where you see 8 documentarys

I think there will be a commentary track, because on mugglenet they have an offical trailer from WB that mentions "filmmaker commentary" so maybe it's just not listed (I hope so). But I don't think any of the other titles from WB that I have contain a commentary track (though there are a few that I want to get with commentaries). Now I'm just wondering about the casing, I personally think that the two disc one comes in a keepcase with a slipsleeve around it, also I'm wondering if there will be an insert because I know WB doesn't do inserts, but PoA came out after they stopped doing inserts, but it had one, so will this one have an insert?

Matt wrote: Mark Carter wrote: I understand the logic.  Give the movie-only for rental chains/casual viewers and the goodie-filled for the fans. But seriously, why the hefty price differential?
Hefty?!?! I'd hardly call $1.99 a hefty difference.

What I meant was when this come out, the sale price on the single disc will be deep-discounted to the $14.99-$16.99 range, but the two-disc will still be a the $22.99-$24.99 price point.
Granted, the week after, the price will go back to the $19.99 for the single-disc.  A small difference, to be sure, but why won't retailers sell the 2-disc at a lower rate is beyond me.

It happend on Batman Begins, Charlie and the Choc. Factory, War o' the Worlds, Constantine, etc.

I think Newell is a much weaker director VISUALLY, than the Cauron, and it hurt this film, especially when compared to the third film. Like Matt, I never read the books, so I'm just generally not a big fan, this is just an outsiders perspective on the series, of which the first two episodes were very weak.

It was the change in cinematographers. Roger Pratt (he was also the DP for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" ) and replaced Michael Seresin, who was the DP for the third movie. I thought Newell would retain Seresin for "Goblet", but I didn't think the visual style hurt the film. What hurt the film was that it didn't thoroughly explain what happened in the end -- in all honesty, had they extended the movie a bit for necessary exposition, it would've been a better film than "Prisoner". Not that I hate "Goblet", it's my second favorite HP film.

I completely agree.  Visually, this film was not nearly as stunning as the thrid was.  What's really amazing to me is this:  It is clear now that the final films will most likely be huge, international smash hits.  I remember when the first came out, and it was announced that seven films would be made over a little less than a decade; I thought to myself, no way--only a horror franchise or Star Wars can get away with a string of films that long.  And everyone can admit that horror franchises that long are absolutely terrible--the original always seems to be the best and most popular.  As I read the previous posts, it is obvious that is not the case with this franchise.  And Star Wars had almost a 20 year gap between films--a lot of time to build hype.  It's just amazing that WB is actually going to pull this off--with actors who are quickly aging, multiple directors and books that are long enough to be turned into dozens of movies.  Amazing.

Artwork's all right but everyone looks too artificial and fake. Wow 4 sets. That's crazy. However, I don't see the need to release a box set EVERY SINGLE DVD RELEASE. Just wait for all of the films to come out less than a decade from now and THEN release the damn 7-Movie-14-Disc Box Set. Now THAT, I'd buy.

And wow, HP fanatics flew all over here. I mean come on, they're dominating the internet. Has anyone seen the rigged IMDb Best of 2005 Polls? HP fanatics must die for what they did to IMDb. My Two Cents.

And of course, the best film yet. 9/10

just waiting for 8disc set, but should wait the R3 version

Cant Wait. I'm buyin the boxeed set I never got the chance to buy  the others.

While I wasn't a huge fan of this one, I already own the other three (which are 2-discs) so might as well go for the two-discer on this one as well. Plus, it's not that much more especially if I get it in its first week.

But the movie was released only in November?

i know it was only a way to express it

I've checked the Warner Home Video site (you can preorder the DVD there), and for the 2-disc edition, there is an English 2-channel Dolby Surround track included with the English and Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks. And I checked other Warner releases that had a commentary and they had the same track. So there will be a director's commentary on the 2-disc edition, it's just not mentioned on the packaging or on the press releases.

There is no excuse for the lack of these other than we are being set up, like with Begins, for a major double dip where we get the really good stuff. The extras to date on these DVD's are standard fluff. I appreciate Warners upfront attitude with the single and double disks, but somehow I think this concession is to pacify us for the double dip coming. I hope they don't try and pull the new technology game on us; release more comprehensive versons of all these DVD's on the new Blu-ray or HD-DVD (can't remember which Warner's signed on for) and slight the old technology. I also have to echo the sentiment that Warners should have kept with the style of casing and art they used for the first two movies. From a pure collector/presentation respect, having to releases in cardboard slip cases in drawn style followed by two in plastic photorealistic styles (not to mention Goblet uses a new "widescreen" banner" doesn't make for a "clean" collection. But that is a very slight complaint.  

As for the movie, enjoyed this one a lot more than the bore known as The Pisoner of Azkaban. I know many hailed that as a better, darker film than the previous two. But darker doesn't always mean better. Just look at the box office as Azkaban slipped way down. Goblet kept the faithful as well as brought back in the general population, while offering us the best performances among the kids yet. It was still dark, with the first death of the series, yet still managed to become the 2nd highest grossing in the franchise.  

Warner Bros. is so bad with commentaries. I am still p**sed that we did not get a Tim Burton/John Williams commentary on "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". They have one together on everyother film they did together, but the s**t-for-brains DVD producers over there ruined it.

I would love commentaries with the people you mentioned above. These films are the few that I would really like to welcome a double-dip. Sometimes they are really pointless, but these are, in my opinion, great films and deserve a real DVD Special Edition treatment. Show us how you made the films, and the after thoughts of the cast and crew. Not a bunch of games and s**t. Warner Bros. can do awesome Two-Disc Special Edition DVD, and other times they such. The new DVD for "Heat" and "King Kong" were amazing. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was a decent film, I enjoyed it and deserves better than what its been given here. But I will take what I can get with this release, it just leaves more to be desired.

In all fairness, this dvd release clearly has far more making of features then the others. If you watch the trailer for the dvd, it says there are 8 making of documentaries, as well as interviews with cast and crew, and a Filmmaker's commentary. Whether or not that's a real audio commentary, the dvd does in fact contain a large amount of making of material, a huge step up from the others.

"multiple interactive games (Dragon Challenge, Harry vs. the Horntail: The First Task, Meet the Champions, Lake Challenge, In Too Deep: The Second Task, Maze Challenge, To the Graveyard and Back Challenge, The Maze: The Third Task and He Who Must Not Be Named)"

A bit of a mistake here. Harry vs. the Horntail: The First Task,, Meet the Champions, In Too Deep: The Second Task, The Maze: The Third Task, and and He Who Must Not Be Named are all behind the scenes making of features, not games. Just thought i'd clarify, it makes it seem as though the dvd will be laking in making of features, when it probably won't be.

This DVD really does have alot more making of features then the others.

Can't wait for this dvd. I'm not a fan of the books (not a fan of reading in general lol, more of a movie watcher), but this movie looks great! Didn't take the time to go see it in theaters, so this will be a blind buy for me.

All right!  A quick release that I care about.  I think the movies have been improving each time, as have the book up to and including #4.  I think #5 dipped a bit before the outstanding #6.

Anyway, great movie, and I'm not at all concerned about a re-issue on the double disc sometime in the near future.  While no commentary track (that we know of) it's a truly feature packed set.  As for JK ever doing a commentary, I sincerely doubt it.  Of what little I know about her, she's very private.  She very rarely even does interviews.  I don't think the HP movies will be re-released with new features until they come out on HD/Blu-Ray.  And probably not until all of the forthcoming movies are released as well, which I'm guessing will be around 2010.  Maybe the HD/Blu debate will be settled by then.

Whats with the scar on Harrys cheek?

But one question:  Why are they floating above the water?

I really wanted to love this film, but came up pretty disappointed.

I'm definitely going to buy this movie. I LOVED HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE!!! IT IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to buy the Two-Disc Deluxe Edition.

'Arrrrrrryyyyy Poootttaaaahhhh!!!!

I have to catch up. I've only bothered to see the first two.

Warner Bros. sucks cause don't do commentaries any more.
All I hope is their is a commentary on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang or 2

Only HP movie I will be buying.

Tom wrote: Well, we don't post rumours like other sites. Just information direct from the distributors.

Well, David Heyman confirmed that Mike Newell was contributing an audio commentary to the fourth film. Maybe it's unlisted... I do like the covers though. This film and POA are the better Harry Potter films out there, Chris Columbus's first two were good but felt rather aimed at the kiddies.

Well, we don't post rumours like other sites. Just information direct from the distributors.

This dvd has already been announced as a date-to-date release with DVD. The WB is supporting both Blu-ray and HD-DVD.

My least favorite book in the series but one of my favorite films in the series....definitely must buy.  And I like the cover.

I wish there was a commentary, but oh well. I'm definantely getting the double disc (looks like the return of the digipak), though I like the single disc version's art better. This 4th film was the best and cant wait to own it!
