Harry Potter: Page to Screen, the follow-up to Harry Potter Film Wizardry, will be available for purchase beginning October 25 and will retail for $75.00.

According to Harper Collins:
"[The book] is packed with spellbinding details and hundreds of never-before-seen photographs and illustrations that provide an insightful, in-depth look at the inner workings of the world of 'Harry Potter.' The book unravels some of the films' most peculiar mysteries, such as how Harry's Invisibility Cloak became visible, which mythical creature required the most make-up, and why the Sorting Hat failed miserably as a puppet, while also addressing some of the broader issues surrounding the set, including the impact of Richard Harris' death on the cast and crew, and the young stars' thoughts on growing up on a public stage."

"Complete with extensive profiles of the cast and crew, this lavishly illustrated volume is the official behind-the-scenes look at the art and making of the most popular film series in cinema history as told by the Muggles who made the magic real."

Can't wait to get my copy, the first one was great.

The bad news is that the UK won't get the DVD/Blu-ray until December 2nd. Over 2 weeks after America gets it, I find this so unfair. Harry Potter have always been primarily British films, the cast are British, the films are made in Britain. If anything we should be getting it sooner, not later than America. :bored:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has become the fastest-selling DVD and Blu-ray of all time on Amazon.co.uk, it has been announced.

The December 2 release of the final film in the Harry Potter series was announced yesterday, with the DVD and a new eight-film collection box set being made available for pre-order.

Amazon has confirmed that the David Yates-directed finale achieved the most pre-orders for any DVD and Blu-ray product on the first day of pre-order release. The figures were four times higher than those recorded for Deathly Hallows: Part 1 during the first 24 hours.

"The final instalment of the Harry Potter films was always going to be an immensely popular title with many fans keen to complete their collection, but the demand was incredible with pre-orders overtaking those for Part 1 in just five hours," John Boumphrey, director of DVD and Music at Amazon, said.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is shaping up to be a huge title and with more than two months to go until release it is set to challenge Mamma Mia! as the most pre-ordered DVD and Blu-ray of all time."

Various bonus features on the upcoming release include 'A Conversation with JK Rowling and Daniel Radcliffe', 'Maximum Movie Mode', an exclusive behind-the-scenes look in 'When Harry Left Hogwarts' and various deleted scenes.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is released on November 11 in the US, and in the UK on December 2.

Amazing :D Already pre-ordered my copy from HMV because Amazon never get here on release date. Considering ordering an import from this site which sells the American DVDs when they go on release over there as well, even though I dread to imagine the shipping costs.

Callum

22-09-2011, 09:00 AM

I finished rereading the final book last week, and although the battle was amazing, it could have been soo much better :(

There were so many unnecessary changes imo

Callum

26-09-2011, 05:06 PM

Yep, the film battle was good but the battle in the book is so much better and more detailed. The little details are what make it amazing like Trelawaney throwing the crystal balls down at the Death Eaters from the banister, McGonagall and Snape fighting with the suit of armour in the corridor and everyone entering the Room of Requirement through the Hogs Head passage, which didn't make the film. They should have included the house elves, Grawp and Buckbeak too, like in the book. :(

Smithy

26-09-2011, 09:57 PM

Yep, Trelawny, the house elves, buckbeak and the centaurs were the things I was thinking about most, oh, and moving Harry and Voldemorts final battle outside when noone was watching, but yeah, even the suits of armor, I think it'd have been pretty cool to show empty corridors and then all the suits of armor (rather than just the stone ones) and the stuffed animals etc jumping down from where they were and marching towards the grounds :(

Mcgonagall rounding up the tables too :sad: ughh, there was so much they missed :bawling:

Callum

27-09-2011, 12:07 PM

The final duel should have definitely taken place in the Great Hall, that was a big letdown for me. Then we could have seen the other duels too, like McGonagall, Slughorn and Kinglsey duelling Voldemort and Hermione, Luna and Ginny with Bellatrix. We should have seen more empty corridors I agree, I think we only saw an empty corridor once when Harry was running to the Room of Requirement. Oh and when the side of the castle gets destroyed resulting in Fred's death should have been in there too, that part is so descriptive in the book. Percy's redemption is not shown either. :bored: Too little Hagrid as well, it's a disgrace he had like 30 seconds airtime in the film. I really wanted to see the scene in the Ravenclaw common room with McGonagall, the Carrows, Luna and Harry, they filmed that but it was cut from the film.

It could have been better but to be fair I think they did a pretty good job of it, I knew they wouldn't be able to cover everything.

Callum

27-09-2011, 03:38 PM

Well there are rumours that WB may release extended versions of all eight films in the forseeable future so I'm hoping it will be on that. Also worth noting that on December 29th all previous Potter films will go into the vault and you won't be able to buy them anymore.

More info:

As kids we heard those threatening words at the end of commercials for the latest and greatest Disney movie hitting VHS or DVD. It created a sense of urgency and, in Disney words, helped them control the market.

Today we’re learning that WB is going to set up a Harry Potter vault, and I think it’s a very bad idea.

According to the studio, production of Potter DVDs will cease on December 29th. That’s four days after Christmas and less than two months after Deathly Hallows – Part 2 goes on sale. What this means is that several weeks later, availability of new copies will become small and you’ll have to resort to eBay and other online retailers who are selling used, old copies.

Warner Brothers is making a big mistake. They’re forgetting that aspects of the franchise like Pottermore, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, The Studio Tour, and sheer word-of-mouth will keep new generations looking for copies of the films every day.
Then there will come a time when they “reopen the vault” and publish the DVDs with new covers and probably new features. That’s when longterm Potter fans will be upset because they’ll know they’re missing out on special features.

While I understand WB’s desire to hype up re-releases, I think it’s cruel to rob potential new fans of availability for the sake of promoting new editions of the films that they’ll probably call “deluxe,” “crystal,” “diamond,” or any other exciting-sounding adjective.
Let’s keep the great films on shelves where they belong and pump up advertising campaigns when new editions are ready.

Amazon declares Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 as the most pre-ordered Blu-ray and DVD ever. The fans of the Harry Potter series are so eager to get a copy of the final installment that the amount of pre-orders from the site skyrocketed. The official Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 release date is set for November 11, 2011, but the pre-order figures is already four times higher than what Part 1 reached.

This last installment of the eight-part wizardry series is one of the ten movies ever to have grossed over $1 billion at the box office around the globe. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 is now in the same category as top grossing films like Titanic, The Dark Knight, and Avatar.

Not surprised one bit but this is great to hear.

Not a bad price either if you just want the standard DVD boxset. Obviously for Blu Ray or the boxset with 18 discs in is going to be more.

I think I will get the standard DVD boxset. Only £25.50 from hmv.com. Not sure if you can get it anywhere cheaper. Probably Amazon.

Looks like they will be raking the money in before Christmas. Will be on a lot of kiddies wish list this boxset! lol.

The Mask is being re released in December. I remember a few weeks ago it was like £4. But now it's like over £7. I should have pre ordered that weeks ago. I will just wait until I find it cheaper now.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 will launch on Blu-ray and DVD with an exclusive star signing at the Harry Potter Shop at Harrods.

Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick and Griphook), James Phelps and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley) and Jessie Cave (Lavender Brown) will meet and greet fans on December 1, from 5.30pm, to celebrate the home release of the final film in JK Rowling's big-screen Harry Potter saga.

Fans hoping to meet the Deathly Hallows stars will need to queue for wristbands at Harrods' Harry Potter Shop from 10am.

Due to limited available time, only 300 Potter fans will be allowed access to meet the stars.

Retailer HMV will be opening up to 150 of its stores early at 7am on the day of Deathly Hallows - Part 2's release - December 2 - to meet demand for the Potter movie.

Along with the Blu-ray and DVD of Deathly Hallows - Part 2, the entire Harry Potter series will be released in a box set collection on the same date.

Sounds good! Wish I lived in London :(

I think I'm gunna buy the UK edition when it comes out, I've already owned a US import for nearly a month now but I hate the UltraViolet digital copy it comes with, plus the DVD only plays on Region 1 DVD players.

I just watched all the bonus features again, seen them all a good few times now. The Jo Rowling and Dan Radcliffe interview and the women of Harry Potter item are both really good but I feel there should have been much more special content, especially for the last film. Maxiumum Movie Mode is awesome too but I'd still have liked more. I know they'll probably release extended editions and much more bonus content in years to come but I think there should have been much more special features on this DVD.

Plus it would have been nice to have had a release of Behind the Magic for DH Part 2. HMV did a version of the Blu-Ray for Part 1 which came with Behind the Magic too, no idea why they didn't do it for Part 2.

Snape is the best character in the whole series for me behind Dumbledore and Alan Rickman played him perfectly. He deserves an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. He probably won't get it though because the Oscars are very anti Potter.

Glenn.

05-12-2011, 09:04 PM

He doesn't die because, (spoilered in case the people that live under a rock dont know)
because Voldemort only kills the part of his soul that lives in Harry. Harry's soul remains untouched and undamaged

Universal Orlando: Phase II of the Wizarding World would include a new section of the park to take over where the Jaws and Amity portion recently closed down. The rumored plans include a reproduction of London, which would house Diagon Alley - a 'true' location for Ollivander's Wand Shop, Gringotts Bank with an amazing new roller coaster cart ride, and the Leaky Cauldron.

Additionally, they would add Platform 9 and 3/4 where patrons would pass through the muggle side and be whisked away to Hogsmeade Station via an actual train ride on the Hogwarts Express.

I so hope this rumour is true, a bigger WWoHP would be amazing. I always had a feeling they would make a Gringotts ride after watching DH Part 2.

I could have done without the focus on Neville on the back cover and his speech towards the end. He ruined what was a brilliantly acted scene from Ralph Fiennes with over sentimental drivel about Harry still being "in here". Hate it, hate it, hate it.

Prince's Tale section though, brilliant Alan Rickman showreel really, making up for little screen time in the latter half of the movies.

And rewatching the ending, I thought Ginny looked ridiculous; she looked like she was wearing her mother's clothes; Hermione looked more convincing when it showed them applying the age makeup backstage; on screen she looked barely any different.
Draco reminded me of Jack from Lost with the silly fake beard.
Ron and Harry looked convincingly older and Daniel Radcliffe gave his most convincing performance in those final moments than he had the entire previous 8 films. lol

Its confirmed!!!

Warner Bros. Entertainment and Universal Parks and Resorts today announced a partnership to bring The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – the enormously popular themed entertainment environment which debuted in Orlando in June 2010 – to Universal Studios Hollywood.

The two companies also announced their plans to significantly expand The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood will be as impressive as what has been created in Orlando – and is expected to transform tourism in Los Angeles for decades to come. It will be a fully immersive environment for the entire family that brings the stories of Harry Potter to life and is faithful to the visual landscape of the films, including a majestic Hogwarts castle to serve as the centerpiece of the themed environment. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood will be created with the same commitment to authenticity and the same level of talent and resources as its Orlando counterpart.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort opened in June 2010 and immediately captured global attention. It is a spectacularly themed land that includes Hogwarts castle, Hogsmeade and multiple themed attractions. Specific details of its expansion will be announced over time.

"The announcement of our partnership with Universal to bring The Wizarding World of Harry Potter to Hollywood and expand what already exists in Orlando is probably the best holiday gift we could give to the legions of Harry Potter fans worldwide," said Barry Meyer, Chairman & CEO, Warner Bros. "Everyone involved with these projects is committed to continuing the enchantment of J.K. Rowling’s masterful books as they were brought to life on screen in our eight films and dedicated to extending the magic of the experience for generations of fans to come."

"This is an incredible moment for Universal Studios and the millions of guests who visit our theme parks," said Ron Meyer, President & COO, Universal Studios. "The Harry Potter stories are some of the most powerful of our time and we are honored to expand our Orlando experience and bring The Wizarding World of Harry Potter to Hollywood, forever changing family tourism in Los Angeles."

"The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is an entirely new level of themed entertainment that brings the stories of Harry Potter to life in incredible ways,” said Tom Williams, Chairman and CEO, Universal Parks and Resorts. “We are thrilled to be able to share this experience with our guests in Hollywood. And we are thrilled to take what has been created in Orlando to even greater levels."

The SAG Awards nominations have been released and Deathly Hallows has been snubbed apart from this one category:

Outstanding Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture

and it's not looking good for any Oscar recognition either, Critics Choice and San Diego Film Critics have released their predictions and Hallows Part 2 is barely mentioned. Absolute disgrace. :bored: Alan Rickman in particular deserved to be nominated, I know the official Oscar nominations aren't released yet but these predictions are usually right and Alan gave his best performance of the series in Hallows Part 2. It's just unfair how Potter always gets snubbed. This last film was the final chance of Potter recieving any Oscar recognition.

My disappointment with things being left out started with GoF.

Callum

15-12-2011, 01:39 AM

Me too... there were a few things from the first three books which didn't make the films that bugged me but with GoF that's when it started differing from the book and losing a lot of material from the book. GoF was supposed to be split into two parts like DH because the book is so big compared to the first three but the studio decided against it in the end. I so wish it had been a two parter though, they could have included so much more stuff. I don't think GoF is a bad film, it's just disappointing how much from the book was missed out in it.

The Qudditch World Cup is so rushed in the film, where in the book it gets like 3 chapters dedicated to it, that always annoys me when I watch the film. We don't even see the Qudditch match, just Fudge starting it then it cuts to another scene. :bored:

07-02-2012, 10:22 PM

Daniel Radcliffe has said that he is "miffed" by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' (AMPAS) decision not to reward the Harry Potter series with more Oscar nominations.

The wizard series, which has generated more than $7 billion in worldwide box office revenues and won critical praise, has been nominated for 12 Academy Awards in total but has so far failed to win any.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 earned three Oscar nominations last month - for 'Art Direction', 'Makeup' and 'Special Effects' - but was overlooked in the major acting and directing categories.

Radcliffe told the Radio Times that he couldn't understand why Hugo had picked up so many Oscar nominations, yet Deathly Hallows: Part 2 hadn't.

"I don't think the Oscars like commercial films, or kids' films, unless they're directed by Martin Scorsese," Radcliffe said.

"I was watching Hugo the other day and going, 'Why is this nominated and we're not?' I was slightly miffed. There's a certain amount of snobbery."

He added: "It's kind of disheartening. I never thought I'd care."

Potter director David Yates admitted in July that the film's cast and crew had "made peace" with the awards snub.

"I think we've all made peace with that in a way," he commented. "There are so many things to enjoy being part of this whole series of films, most of all the affection of the fans and the fact that there's a global community who follow these stories with great passion."

:worship: He is so right, it's just pure snobbery from the Academy. Still annoyed that Alan Rickman wasn't nominated.

Make-up it lost to The Iron Lady, I mean ffs the make-up on DH was so much better, just look at the work they did for the goblins in Gringotts. Visual effects went to the overrated Hugo despite the effects on Potter being so much better, the effects in the Battle of Hogwarts were astounding. It lost Art Direction to Hugo too, Stuart Craig really deserved that Oscar for all the work he's given to Potter in the past decade. It didn't even get a tribute either and wasn't featured in any of the montages. Pure snobbery by the Academy and an utter disgrace. What annoys me most though is that Hugo has won so many awards which is a kids film and nobody will even remember it in 5 years time. It's only getting so much recognition because Martin Scorsese directed it.

Then again it's not really that surprising considering the average Academy voter is a 62 year old White male, not the target audience for Potter.

Totally robbed.

Yeah, it's a disgrace. The only time a big franchise film has been recognised was when Return of the King won loads in 2004. Not even a tribute video to Potter which has been helping the film industry since 2001 and featured some of the greatest British actors of our time. Didn't even feature in the montage clip of the Best Films of 2011 either and friggin' Twilight did. :mad: I bet if Meryl Streep had played Umbridge or McGonagall, she would have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress. They are so shallow.

Yes there was, a 2 minute long tribute video would have been fine and showed that the Academy gave recognition to Potter and it's positive impact on the film industry. Potter has not been given recognition once by the Academy over the whole 10 years and they haven't won a single Oscar. I find that appalling. They could have done a tribute if they so wished, they chose not to because there's a pure snobbery towards Fantasy films that do well at the Box office at the Academy unless they're directed by Peter Jackson or Martin Scorsese.

I know that and I would never want them to remove that segment but there were parts of the show which could have easily been taken out to allow a tribute for Potter.

Callum

27-02-2012, 08:18 AM

To be honest the films and acting would never be recognised if it wasn't the great harry potter series so I totally agree with the oscar people. They aren't as good as some people think they are. The acting is truly awful at points.

Alan Rickman gave the performance of his career in Hallows Part 2 and truly deserved to be nominated. I knew none of the main three and most of the cast wouldn't be nominated but Alan Rickman should have been. I still find it disgusting that he wasn't nominated. It deserved the Best Picture nod too because it was an outstanding film, the critics were all positive and it has a 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, higher than some of the nominees for Best Picture. Pure snobbery, end of.

Yeah I know and let's face it the average Academy voter is a 62 year old White male, Potter was never in with a chance because their not the target audience. That could change in the future so Fantasy films might get some recognition, it's just a shame it didn't happen sooner so Potter, the highest grossing film frachise of all time, could at least have won one Academy Award.

The incredibly detailed Chest to hold the collection as shown above.
Contains 31 discs, inclusive of all content ever previously released, in addition to over 5 hours of never before seen special features, in a limited and numbered edition.
18 Movie Discs:
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Theatrical Version and Extended Cut
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Theatrical Version and Extended Cut
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 2D and 3D Versions
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 2D and 3D Versions
13 Special Feature Discs
Includes multiple specially-produced, collectible memorabillia items, including concept art, a Map of Hogwarts and much more!

Looks awesome but I wanted extended editions for every film, not just the first two. Looks like they'll never see the light of the day now, bad decision. There was meant to be like an extra hour of footage from OOTP and I doubt it will be included on this. :( Oh and the price tag is huge, it's available to pre-order in the US at $349.99 which equates to £220 in the UK, for that price there should be so much more.

I'm pissed off with no OotP extended cut. It's a shame:bored:

Me too. I wanted to see all of the Department of Mysteries stuff, the St Mungo's scenes and the attack on McGonagall and Hagrid which were all filmed but didn't make the final cut. Doesn't feel right that we won't get to see none of that.

This much was filmed for each film:

Deathly Hallows (Close to 5 hours)
Half-Blood Prince (Close to 3 hours)
Order of the Phoenix (3 hours)
Goblet of Fire (Close to 3 hours)
Prisoner of Azkaban (A little more then two and a half hours)
Chamber of Secrets (3 hours)
Philosopher's Stone (Close to 3 hours)

and considering the actual runtimes a lot of stuff was cut from each one. I wish we could see all this unseen material, there's a definite demand for it.

The detail put into the scale model of Hogwarts is immense. So looking forward to going to the Studio Tour when it opens later this month.

best part of the film to me is in Snapes memories when he casts his patronus, and then it cuts to Snape holding Lilys dead body

I get chills every time

Yeah, I love that part. Alan Rickman was brilliant in all of them scenes, he gave a very believable and moving performance, why he wasn't nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars is beyond me.

just had a random thought, I've probably asked it/had it answered in here before, what ever happened to Firenze in the movies, he's a teacher in the books :suspect:

Callum

15-03-2012, 10:06 PM

Yeah, he's only ever in the first film briefly. Doesn't appear in any of the others. Loads of stuff from the fifth book didn't make the film sadly and Firenze was one of them. Only classes they really wanted to show in the films were Defence Against the Dark Arts and Firenze taught Divination so they didn't include him. That's why the books will always be much better.

we watched the 4th one this weekend. It's odd how you can watch them a countless number of times and never get bored

Snapes Memories :lovedup:

I'm not ashamed to say my eyes fill with tears when Snape collapses against the wall when he sees Lily dead on the floor, and then let the tears trail down my face when Dumbledore asks, "After all this time", and.... I can't carry on. :bawling:

-slits wrists-

also, just finished reading all the HP books for a second time.

totally forgot about petter pettigrews death... very very dark!

No, he helps Ron and Harry escape the dungeon in the malfoy manor and his metal hand suffocates him

The whole Neville speech in the film was silly. Harry's speech in the book was much better but doubt Radcliffe could've pulled it off really.

Ninastar

11-04-2013, 10:34 PM

I agree. I thought most of the ending was rubbish. The line Ron says in the book about disinheriting the kids is hilarious.

InOne

11-04-2013, 10:36 PM

And I loved in the film they all just stood there blankly when Voldermort said Harry had died, nobody reacted or anything, was weird. In the book McGonegal breaks down and screams

I don't think I will ever get over how poor an actor Daniel Radcliffe is more than anything

Should have switched it up early so the difference wasn't as noticeable

They ruined the whole flow of the movies when they started changing massive bits. Think it mostly started with OOTP

Smithy

11-04-2013, 10:55 PM

I purposely didn't reread the books till after i'd seen the film so I wasn't too disappointed (I wasn't :D) and although the film's good when you realise how much they cut out, it coulda been a lot better

Ninastar

11-04-2013, 11:00 PM

I think when they redo them in 10 years or so, they won't leave anything out. Hopefully anyway.

Smithy

11-04-2013, 11:01 PM

They better not remake them

The Order of the Phoenix film is diabolical.

The book was amazing :love:

And the battle at the end of Half Blood Prince was cut from the film because 'they didn't want to over do the battle scenes before DH'

King Gizzard

11-04-2013, 11:08 PM

doubt anyone would take on doing the films in full again

King Gizzard

11-04-2013, 11:09 PM

Can see JK selling out eventually and allowing them to do a stand alone film, though

It wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if it was done right

I wish that film didn't exist. :bored:

Apparently over 2 hours were cut from that film.

I heard that we got extended versions of 1 & 2 because Columbus allowed for that footage to be released from the vault. Those movies are pretty much complete book to film transfers in my opinion. (Should have had Peeves though.:nono:)

But apparently Cuaron, Newell and Yates haven't given permission for the deleted scenes to be released. I would have thought that it would be completely up to Warner Brothers whether or not extensions were made. But i've heard this a few times.
