DVD cover right here: http://www.dvdtown.com/images/displaymedia.php?id=27379&sizew=500&cat=3&type=1&page=0

Though for the local version the cover might change due to the re-release of the first five films.

I'm kinda disappointed that the release didn't include a sneak peak of HP7 but it's still worth buying especially now that it comes with J.K.'s documentary.

It will be released in December 7, 2009 in the US and the UK. Germany will have the DVD released far earlier than the US, as they will join France in seeing the Half-Blood Prince release in November, with France to see it November 18th, Australia on November 18th, and then Germany on November 20. Not sure when it will be released here in the Philippines.

The Blu-ray version will include the WB Maximum Movie Mode with the stars, director and producers, and BD Live with Facebook Connect, with which fans can invite their Facebook friends to a BD Live Community Screening. Both the Blu-ray and two-DVD editions will include digital copy, as well as featurettes on the cast and crew, the life of books series author J.K. Rowling, additional scenes and a sneak peak at the Universal Orlando Resort's The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park.

I might be buying a BD copy of this if budget would permit

[JohnE.]

UPDATE: Regarding the release date of the film, it will be released here in the Philippines by November 2009 as confirmed by Magnavision.

isn't this a warner release?

[allanmandy]

Yes. But Magnavision (through Studio World) already owns the distribution rights to Warner videos here in the Philippines.

[dvdcollector27]

Any updates sa price nito? Next week na release nito. Magrerelease ba ang Magnavision ng 3-Disc Combo pack nito? ung may bluray, digital copy at DVD

[nibblerizer]

I'll wait until all movies are shown and buy the whole Year 1 to 7 collector's pack later. By that time I probably already switched to blu-ray.

[Aberforth777]

Wow! sa Monday na to. Cant wait for the DH footage.
Sana huwag delay release nito sa Odyssey Olongapo.
Calling Magnavision.

[raimundmedina]

okay i just went to odyssey atc and they don't have d dvd yet. i'm gonna try to check out astroplus moa and astrovision midtown today.

[dvdcollector27]

i bought mine today sa Megamall sa Astroplus! Parang Star Trek yung cover. 3D din. Cool nya tignan. Nice packaging, Magnavision! Keep it up! A must buy for all the HP fans out there.

Sorry for the crappy quality of my webcam. Here's mine:

[Mr. Hankey]

Dear Magnavision:

Please take this criticism in the spirit that it's meant. Hopefully you will not just read it, but also pass it along to whoever is in charge of distribution and delivery of products within your company.

When you have a major blockbuster title with an announced release date, then you must make every effort to get this title out to all stores nationwide (or at the very least, in Metro Manila) on time. Much like the way Warner Philippines used to do it - the stock is in shops a few days before the announced official release date, with a DO NOT SELL BEFORE (DATE) warning.

There is nothing more frustrating than working a 12-hour shift, rushing to the store before dinner knowing the title should be in stores, and finding out it's not available at this particular branch yet.

This is not the first time this has happened this month alone. We had the same problem with Star Trek. It's very annoying for your already very limited clientele who still purchase original DVDs in this day and age when pirated material and high speed illegal downloads are very easy (and a lot more convenient) to obtain.

We want to do the right thing, but you really make it difficult for us to keep on patronizing your company's expensive original products.

Thank you.

[Aberforth777]

No HP6 DVD on Odyssey Olongapo. How sad :'(
DVDs for blockbuster movies like HP:HBP should be delivered on time.

[Kd Jb]

Is the harry potter R3 or R1?

[raimundmedina]

I got mine in AstroPlus MOA after looking for it in 2 other malls. Does anyone know why the preview of Deathly Hallows was omitted. The Highlight of the Bonus Feature are J.K. Rowling's Documentary and the Deleted Scenes.
