While I’m usually no fan of double-dips on home video, I’d say these go against the usual double-dip crassness to give fans of the boy wizard what they really want… which is more of Harry, Hermione and Ron along with treats to please fans of just about any age, but especially those who want greater insight on the grand achievements of these films and their place in cinema history. If you’re a casual fan, this probably isn’t for you and you’d be fine with the regular Blu-rays, but if you love these films, then Warner’s really is giving you a treat here and you might consider making your money disappear Evanesco! in exchange for these fantastically produced editions.
