Warner Bros. Announces All Eight “Harry Potter” Films Available On Ultra HD Blu-ray November 7

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment announced today that the first four films in the popular and acclaimed Harry Potter series – “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” and “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” – will be available on Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack on November 7th.

“Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1,” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2,” were released on Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack earlier this year.

The eight films will also be available for the first time in 4K HDR as a set, in the “Harry Potter 8-Film Collection” on Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack.

Additionally, the Wizarding World 9-Film Collection, which includes all eight “Harry Potter” films as well as “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” will be available on Blu-ray and DVD.

The Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Packs will include an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc with the feature films in 4K with HDR, a Blu-ray disc with the feature films and special features in HD, and a Digital version of the feature films.

Ultra HD Blu-ray showcases 4K resolution with High Dynamic Range (HDR) and a wider color spectrum, offering consumers brighter, deeper, more lifelike colors for a home entertainment viewing experience like never before.

For the complete 4K Ultra HD experience with HDR, a 4K Ultra HD TV with HDR, an Ultra HD Blu-ray player and a high-speed HDMI (category 2) cable are required.

All eight “Harry Potter” films on Ultra HD Blu-ray feature DTS:X audio, which replicates and conveys the fluid movement of sound to create a richer experience than previously possible by moving sound to precisely where the mixer placed it. A hallmark of DTS:X immersive audio technology is its ability to adapt to the speaker layout to best fit the individual viewing space by seamlessly transporting sound to and through specific locations within the viewing environment – in front of, behind, above and beside the audience.

“Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” and “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” will be available November 7th on Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack for $44.95 SRP each, and feature an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc with the feature film in 4K with HDR, a Blu-ray disc with the feature film and special features in HD, and a Digital HD* version of the feature film. Fans can also own the “Harry Potter” films in 4K Ultra HD via purchase from select digital retailers.

The “Harry Potter” films on Ultra HD Blu-ray will contain the same special features that were included on each of the film’s previous Blu-ray releases.

FANTASTIC BEASTS VIRTUAL REALITY

Also available this year will be an expanded “Fantastic Beasts” Virtual Reality experience. This version of the previously released Virtual Reality will allow fans to return to the wizarding world for a more robust and expanded experience, featuring 3 new beasts including the fan favorite Niffler, as well as the Occamy and Bowtruckles, and participate in more magical spells as they interact with each of the creatures inside Newt’s case. Additionally, the experience will be available for purchase on several VR platforms.
