Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone / Chamber of Secrets / Prisoner of Azkaban / Goblet of Fire)

Great quality product and arrived before predicted delivery date!

Everything looks like it will still play but they should be more transparent about if it's new or used. Case has damage but not a problem for me I used the big zipper cases for cds/dvds anyway one of the dvds has some obvious wear but should play fine and another one has a crack where the dvd goes into the case but I've never had any issues with dvds like that. All in all I'm happy with the purchase though.

My oldest grandson has started watching Harry Potter. He has been wanting to collect the videos and books.

First things first---Harry Potter isn't just for children.He belongs to a mythic tradition as old as King Arthur and as new as Luke Skywalker, with such notables as Oliver Twist,Huckleberry Finn and Dorothy Gale in between--all of them orphans whose adventures teach us something about life, loyalty,and what it means to be a hero. This collection of four film is a fine introduction tothe mythology of Harry and Hogwarts, and gives viewers a chance to see its very young stars grow up. Not since the glory days of MGM have such novice performers and seasoned veterans worked together so seamlessly. Sure, there's plenty of magic going on via special effects--Buckbeak the hippogriff being a special wonder, but just as magical are the performances of the human actors--seasoned pros like Maggie Smith and Robbie Coltrane, plus newcomers like Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and especially Rupert Grint,as fine a comic actor as any working today. This eight-disc collection (one for each film, plus a disc of extras) is a tremendous bargain. If you love movie magic in any sense of the word, this is for you.

The movie is fantastic but I want to comment on the set. It is sad that movie studios think that they don't need to put any effort in production anymore. When the movie was still new and winning its audience, they really went out of their way to make a nice DVD. It was in a letterbox format, lots of nice art, done beautifully. But the third movie the studio didn't feel like all that effort was necessary anymore - we got a plastic box with a colorful insert with information in it. And by the forth movie? The colorful insert is not even there, just a plastic box with two DVDs in it. Wow! Just because we love these movies doesn't mean the company has to treat the viewers like a money making machine. Come on! Did They just pocket all the financial difference between producing a nice DVD set and a crappy one? Very upsetting.

It really seems that the real point in buying a DVD Boxed Set is to save a little money. Therefore, as you can see, this Boxed Set has a price that's almost the same as the Years 1-3 Boxed Set. That makes it an excelente option for saving money. Moreover, on my case, I bought this Box because in Brazil we don't have a widescreen edition such as you have, and buying this international Box is the only way of seeing the movie at home on the original format. As sad before, maybe people doesn't have the option of renting the widescreen edition.Finally, let me say that this is the best movie of the collection. Not even close to the magic of the book, but yet a very good entertainment option. I am a big fan of the books and I think the movie was able to show how different the story goes from now on, compared to the first 3 movies.Buy it, you'll wont regret, specialy if you have kids at home.

This film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's masterpiece will be a classic for the ages along with others such as J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. The casting is unbelievable: Richard Harris, Maggie Smith, John Cleese, John Hurt, Robert Hardy--British actors you will recognize and the three children who age during the succeeding episodes of the movie. Music by John Williams. Brilliant production, casting and acting. I have not read the books yet but I have been told that, after the first one, the books are even better than the movies--and are not just for children. I will keep all of the books as well as the movies and am looking forward to the last book and next movie. I recommend the entire series to anyone of any age who believes the world can use a little magic! Long may Rowling's magic last!

From printed page to movie screen the world of Harry Potter comes alive to fill in what your imagination may have failed to do so. I personally enjoy the books more than the movies for they go in to greater detail than any movie could do on years 1-4 at Hogwarts. But for those Harry Potter fans who can not get enough, the movies are a great addition to one's library until the next book comes out. Alas, what we will we do when book 7 comes out and the saga ends? But of course there will be movies 5, 6, and 7 to come out so the world of Harry Potter lives on... and on.

This is a good box set and should continue to fall in price as more of the series (after the fourth film) get their cinema release and beyond. Almost a must for any Harry Potter fans that don't already have two or more of these four films!I like all the Harry Potter films in this set, and though I am not always in the mood for the second and third installment the others (especially the first of course!) are somewhat better. One might wish to wait for what will one day inevitably be the "Complete Boxset" or "Ultimate Edition". However, that is still several years away I bet, so I am quite happy to have this half of the series now and wait for the rest later. Although whether they will release a set for the rest of the series is unlikely. If you see this for £25 or less, then I say it's a bargain while they're still making the rest of the films.Some of the teen angst in the "middle films" is of little interest to me, but considering the target audience of the first film I am objectively impressed with how the series is evolving.In this boxset of "Wizard School films" I would say that my order of preference of the films is: 1, 4, 3, 2. Agree or no? :)

This used-but-looking-brand-new set cost next to nothing, literally. The four are single disc editions sans extras. Sight and sound are as good as standard DVD gets. Highly recommended if you can do without commentaries, making-ofs, and whatever sort of creative explanations usually accompany deluxe issues. Anyway, often leaving fantasy to the imagination is preferrable, very much so in the case of Harry Potter.

Bargain price. Loved the films.

Good value for money. Grandson was thrilled.

Excellent box set, thank you.
