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.

among all the harry potter i really like this. Maybe because its more mature and darker.

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

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 · « **Reply #7 on:** Nov 10, 2009 at 11:04 PM »

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

nibblerizer · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 12, 2009 at 11:23 PM »

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.

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

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.

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

Kd Jb · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 17, 2009 at 12:49 AM »

Is the harry potter R3 or R1?

raimundmedina · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 17, 2009 at 08:04 AM »

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.

Thanks dvdcollector27.

I saw the packaging na din kanina...hindi ko nagustuhan...mas maganda cguro yung R1 kasi me deathly hallows preview

Dear Magnavision/Studio World,

Would it be possible to release the 2-disc DVD in regular packaging, aside from the "3D" edition. That edition currently available in local stores is so bulky to store, and quite frankly, not attractive at all. And besides, it's not consistent with the packaging of previous Harry Potter titles.

Thank you.

My advice on this dilemma:

Take it out of the "3D" packaging. Once you pull it out, it's a separate, sealed, regular 2-Disc copy of the movie in a keep case, consistent with the packaging of the previous titles in the series. No slipcase, but the R3 HP III and HP V that I bought both didn't have slipcases, either:

As for the "3D" packaging, I gave it to our dog:

allanmandy · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 24, 2009 at 12:56 AM »

Hahaha! Good dog!

I just find it such a waste to dispose of the "3D" packaging. Would the DVD have been cheaper had Magna opted to just release a regular packaging?

Unlikely. Most major releases by Magna are 895, especially with 2-discs version.

I would have been happy w/ a simple 2-disc SE w/ slip instead of the crappy looking "3D" packaging.

I'm getting the R1 2-disc instead.

I was at Astro last Friday and I didn't see any HP6 blu-ray there. The U.S. BD release is set for Dec 8 though. I don't know about the local release... $:-\$
