With two all-new Harry Potter ultimate editions
on the way, numbers 5 & 6, following the order
of the Harry Potter films, coming out this Tuesday,
I felt it was time to review what we can expect from
these two ultimate editions in terms of special features.
the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
ultimate edition contains these exclusive features:
- Creating the World of Harry Potter Part 5
- Maximum Movie Mode: a Blu-Ray exclusive.
- Two collectable limited edition character cards
- 45-page booklet with rare images from years 1-7
- Year 5 Lenticular card
The Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
ultimate edition contains these exclusive features:
- Creating the World of Harry Potter Part 6
- Maximum Movie Mode: a Blu-Ray exclusive feature
- Gallery of five ABC Family TV spots for the film
- 44-page booklet with rare images from years 1-7
- Year 6 Lenticular card
- Two limited edition character cards
Comparing this with my expectations,
I'd give these two "Ultimate Editions" a C+.
No way are they worth $30, but when amazon.com
starts discounting it to $20, that might be something to check out.
So, word of advice for most of you fellow Harry Potter fans:
Hold off buying these ultimate editions if you can.
There are better things to spend your hard-earned $30 on then this.
