Harry Potter: The Complete 8-Film Collection [Blu-ray]

GOOD PRICE,PACKAGED WELL AND WORTH THE PURCHASE!

First I LOVE how this set is put together. There are 16 blu-ray disc's. The Movies and a Ton of added bonus disc's. Any Fan should have this Awesome Set. And the Price! Phenomenal. Also. I have seen reviews saying that they were upset that the first movie is The Philosopher's Stone. A TRUE Harry fan would know that it is actually the ORIGINAL. And was released as such in the UK. For marketing purposes in the US it was changed to The Sorcerer's Stone. I being in the US am over the moon to have it as it was meant to be!!!! A MUST HAVE for a true fan!!!

Since all the reviews for several versions of the product all end up on the same page, let me start off saying I got the 11 disc Blu-ray set. I'll also use this review to set aside any misguidings others have posted about. I'll admit I was a bit worried ordering this, but I had positive hopes I was wrong.This set is UK Region Free (you can tell by the movie ratings, as they're not MPAA ratings). They come in four plastic containers in a cardboard enclosure, with two movies to a container. The first five movies aren't true Blu-ray (with menus, etc), they're the movies in Blu-ray format, with some special features available. The quality is still superb. Once you get to movies 6, 7, and 8 you get a real Blu-ray experience with menus for other Blu-ray options, as well as a second disc of special features (one movie disc and one special features disc for movies 6, 7, and 8).My only gripe is that there are two movies in a thick plastic case over a single movie in a slim case (such as how the Star Trek movie Blu-ray collection is packaged), but that's just me. The discs all work perfectly fine. This is definitely the complete set to order if you want just the movies and some special features, and not spend hundreds on a "collectors case" with stuff you'll only look at once.

Happy with product, arrived early without damage.

Harry Potter: The Complete 8-Film Collection [Blu-ray]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00543RC0Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1orthe item mentioned in the review by Code Red:"3 Faces of Harry" collection -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AQNOCZ0/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0For reference, my Blu-ray player, the Oppo BDP-103D (not the 103) was released in 2013. I mention this because at that time getting the machien to be region free meant adding separate hardware and I did not do that.Code Red mentions, "...There are versions that you need to be aware of that are MAY NOT be playable in the U.S. It's another collection that is European made and most of the time, the discs are not playable on North American Blu-Ray Players." Good advice!This is true because movie studios regionalize their releases. The 3 Faces of Harry version (3FH) has two symbols on it's front: Irish Film Classification Office and the British Board of Film Classification, so it seems like a European release. Still, I wanted this one in particular due to the amazing amount of extra content available.If you check out blu (dash) ray dot com there is a listing there for this specific 3FH version. Click on the region coding tab and see that people actually test the regions and post on that site. Very handy. Also very handy to see that Region A is confirmed for everyone who tested it. Either the collection is released region free, or my player has been region free all along. I think the former is most likely.So with much trepidation, I opened my 3FH box set, hoping it would work, and still concerned that maybe it wouldn't.Guess what? IT WORKS!All discs play just fine. The audio seems fine as well, no issues.The set is in 4 small books with sleeves, not a standard disc box with the plastic tabs. I think there is opportunity to scratch them getting them in and out, or add oily popcorn fingerprints, but that could likely happen with any storage style.I am beyond delighted that I'll be able to see the entire series!
