Harry Potter took the world by storm and continues to be one of the most beloved characters to come out of books and movies.  It was only inevitable that an amazing collector’s edition of the eight films came out for fans to collect and enjoy for years to come!

Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection (Blu-ray / DVD Combo + UltraViolet Digital Copy) is, indeed on store shelves and available online.  But it is more than just the 8 movies.  There are almost 10 hours of bonus materials available too and it really makes the collection!

I was a lucky recipient of the bonus materials and am so glad that I was!  From the amazing interview with Author J.K. Rowling to the introduction of the stunt doubles and other behind the scenes cast members, this is a walk through the underbelly of the making of the Harry Potter movies!

Check out this clip of some of the bonus material below:

 

Everything on these discs are ALL NEW!  Including the candid feelings from cast and crew on the last days on the Harry Potter sets!  I loved this part of the bonus material and really felt for the actors as they grappled with the emotions of leaving friends who had become family and faced an uncertain, “What do I do next?”

On the first bonus disc you can learn all about the Creating of the World of Harry Potter.  The secrets revealed are fascinating and really gives the viewer an enhanced understanding of how it all came together. The work, the determination, the intelligence… it is all very impressive!
