Harry Potter and the Physical Copy Moratorium

I would advise you get your copies of Harry Potter on DVD and Blu-ray now.

After Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 hits shelves on November 11th, the rest of the films will start disappearing from shelves. They’ll be back, but who knows when. My guess? They’ll be releasing a huge, big, box-set with a thousand discs of bonus features. Maybe extended versions?

Here’s the info from their press release:

Harry Potter, the #1 motion picture franchise of all time, will soon disappear from shelves, as Warner Bros. stops shipping all Harry Potter theatrical film titles (including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows™ – Part 2, and Harry Potter: The Complete 8-Film Collection) as of December 29, 2011 (moratorium does not include digital – Electronic Sell-Through & VOD – or games). The Harry Potter franchise has grossed more than $12.1 billion for Warner Bros. Entertainment – with $7 billion at the worldwide box office for Warner Bros. Pictures and $5.1 billion for Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

You can buy the full 1-7 set on Blu-ray through Amazon for less than $100, or you can save some money and buy the Harry Potter years 1-6 set for $60 and buy Part 7 separately.
