Official Philippine release date of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban has been moved to Thursday, November 18. No pre-order promo for this title but Warner will demo the film and special features during the EB.

I think Warner is listening to us:

Since they shifted to Amaray-type cases, this is the first Warner release I've seen that actually has an insert!

I mean, even my R1 Warners in Amaray-type cases don't have inserts these days.

Baluts · « **Reply #33 on:** Nov 17, 2004 at 11:11 PM »

are all the features the same as the R1 version?

you mean its available now?

thats pretty early.

and it has inserts? nice. any pics pls of the cover, dvds and the insert of cors so that well know what to expect. tnx.

^ luts, you can see the pics at the front page of this site.

Saw the dvd earlier. No slipcase so it won't match with the previous 2 Harry Potter DVDs which is in digipack. $:-\$

Checked out a copy and I have to say that this is an excellent release. Video and audio quality are outstanding. The Special Features disc is very well done (with one of the best menus I've ever seen) and is well-worth your time. Warner got it right by balancing content that will appeal to both kids and adults.

Just got a copy... really wished they used digipack though... noticed that there's no videogram sticker as well.

JhunDV · « **Reply #37 on:** Nov 17, 2004 at 11:58 PM »

Maybe firewired can ask Warner to provide a spare case and cover for the 2 previous DVDs to match this new release? Better still if they include inserts, too. Or am I asking too much?

firewired · « **Reply #38 on:** Nov 18, 2004 at 12:05 AM »

Actually that's not a bad idea. New shipments of HP1 and HP2 will come in Amarays as well -- similar to the Warner SE line. I don't think they'll mind if we ask for new cases to match HP3. And I still don't get why the rest of the world hates snappers and digi-packs... d**n shame.

By the way, I posted a larger version of the picture on the front page.

nerveblocker · « **Reply #39 on:** Nov 18, 2004 at 06:07 AM »

oh well so much for uniformity....what a bummer specially for collector's like us. BTW, were the previous HP's released here in the Phils Region 1 DVDs? Looked at my shelf again and they were indeed R1 and I remember buying it locally from our Astro stores. Hmmm...

firewired · « **Reply #40 on:** Nov 18, 2004 at 07:52 AM »

No, no official Region 1 releases from Warner. If you pre-ordered through PinoyDVD, those are definitely Region 3.

I was looking at the digi-pak of HP2 last night -- sayang! Seems like HP3 is really going to be released in Amaray-type cases worldwide. No variants were approved by JK Rowling... unless the Koreans manage to sneak something into the market before Christmas.

ryu · « **Reply #41 on:** Nov 18, 2004 at 08:02 AM »

I saw it last night . Amaray case nga talaga. Sayang hindi talaga magandang tignan pag tinabi with harry potter 1 and 2.

RNIverson · « **Reply #42 on:** Nov 18, 2004 at 08:57 AM »

maybe a double-digipack for an extended edition?

Sir Firewired,

will the new shipments of HP1 in Wide Screen format already?

firewired · « **Reply #44 on:** Nov 18, 2004 at 10:05 AM »

Not sure about when new versions of the disc will be released in Asia. Not this year or in 2005, but when the SE versions are developed, you can be sure that HP1 R3 will probably be widescreen.

sweetam · « **Reply #45 on:** Nov 18, 2004 at 10:25 AM »

thanks Sir for the info.

i'll check out HP3

sana may pre-order promo for pinoydvd members ang warner for this just like when they release HP2...

nerveblocker · « **Reply #46 on:** Nov 18, 2004 at 11:02 AM »

Got the HP3 already and indeed it is in Amaray case $:-\$ . I probably ordered my 2 HPs from amazon.com them being R1. Sorry for the mistake

dude might you be referring to the snapper case with cardboard cover rather than a cardoard slipcase? have a copy of jfk also kasi & it doesn't have a slipcase.

You're right, cardboard snapper case, not slipcase.

diesel · « **Reply #48 on:** Nov 18, 2004 at 05:21 PM »

r1 ba ang HP release?

JhunDV · « **Reply #49 on:** Nov 18, 2004 at 05:25 PM »

^ R3, bro.

Klaus Weasley · « **Reply #50 on:** Nov 18, 2004 at 09:06 PM »

Just bought it today. It's the best HP DVD yet.

toyfanatic · « **Reply #51 on:** Nov 18, 2004 at 09:07 PM »

got my copy this afternoon....looking forward to year IV

boybi · « **Reply #52 on:** Nov 18, 2004 at 10:52 PM »

di ko type acting ng bagong dumbledore, medyo OA.

toyfanatic · « **Reply #53 on:** Nov 19, 2004 at 08:43 AM »

ok naman ah...I hardly see him act though through out the movie...konti lang scenes nya

baby · « **Reply #54 on:** Nov 19, 2004 at 12:59 PM »

no coment on the case and the cover art

$:-\$

I like the movie and the dvd naman

diesel · « **Reply #55 on:** Nov 19, 2004 at 02:53 PM »

does this explain the change from digipack to amaray?

Gideon · « **Reply #56 on:** Nov 19, 2004 at 04:41 PM »

Di ko alam kung bibilhin ko ito.

I didn't like the 1st 2 movies and really hated the 3rd installment.

It needs a new director to awaken the movie audience, it kinda put me to sleep in the theater.

Sometimes things in the book need not be made exactly in the movies, because it's kinda in a different perspective.

av_phile1 · « **Reply #57 on:** Nov 19, 2004 at 04:56 PM »

Got my copy last night and sure enough, it's on amaray case. If not for my son who is eagerly anticipating it, I would not have bought it if only to spite the studios who can't seem to have any conisderation for consumers who have bought the first two and expect the third to fit nicely in their collection. Parang akong bumili ng pirated at tinabi doon sa dalawa.

ravencreed · « **Reply #58 on:** Nov 19, 2004 at 07:53 PM »

saw dvd this afternoon when i drop-by at astro... i'm very much dissapointed seeing it on amaray. magmumukha tuloy p****** pag tinabi mo sa previous two.

firewired · « **Reply #59 on:** Nov 19, 2004 at 09:25 PM »

Well, blame it on the Regions 1, 2, and 4 collectors. It was their petition that convinced Warner to shift to plastic globally.

Anyway, got a clarification from Warner stating that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Region 3 will indeed be re-released in widescreen in March 2005.
