Thanks to the BBFC there are more details about the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince DVD, which is expected to be released in December. We now know that the JK Rowling documentary "A Year in the Life", which follows the author as she finishes Deathly Hallows, will be included in the DVD set. The BBFC also lists "Close Up With the Cast", "One Minute Drills", and "What's On Your Mind". Thanks to Sara and Leaky for the tip.

sounds really good!! can anybody enlighten to me as to what One Minute Drills will be? sounds interesting :)

Hopefully theres more than on the OotP DVD. That was the biggest let down.

OMG!!! THIS IS SO AWESOME!! Ive been wanting this documentary on dvd and now theyve done it!! Im so excited! The special features just keep getting better and better. Now all they need to do is put a trailer for Deathly Hallows on there and it will be PERFECT!

U.S. version, or U.K. version? Cause the U.S. one cut stuff...

One Minute Drills...I would think would be the actors answering as many quick questions as they can get in inside a minute. Much like what JKR does in the documentary. On the documentary and on her site, the family tree of the Weasleys is there. She writes Freds death as 1997. Wasnt the Battle for Hogwarts May 2, 1998? and not 1997? Am I mistaken or was she just writing fast and made an oops?

I wish they would include the "Harry Potter and Me" documentary shown near the PS movie release on a DVD. Maybe it will be on the PS special edition DVD.

I would like an audio commentary by both the actors and the director. Rupert would probably just say "Yeah, that was cool," and let the others do all the talking though. I would like a video of the orchestra performing the music, a montage of it actually. I would love to see interviews with the older cast members on their reflections of the series on DH, but for now I guess Ill settle whats offered.

Oh that is SO cool! Ive been wondering how to get my hands on that year in the life doco. smiley face!~

omg! that is effing awesome! i love that documentary so much!!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-09-10 21:54:58

yeah, i really love the documentary and am so glad i will be able to own it. i agree with heronfan that they should do audio commentary; ive actually wished for that so bad for all the films.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-09-10 23:20:11

Yay, I love that documentary and I agree with others above me that they should do an audio commentary; Im always disappointed when I get the DVDs to see there is no commentary. And an interview with Nicholas Hooper would be fantastique as well.

Im sure it will be available on all versions... US/UK/AUSTRALIA.

So all this news about the HBP DVD, we know almost everything except the official release date. And shouldnt the J.K Rowling Documentary be on the Deathly Hallows DVD, its a bit more fiting, not that im complaning.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-09-11 06:14:13

Have the UK & USA DVDs had the same extras? I also wonder if it the UK DVDs will have the original version on "A Year In the Life" and the US will have the one that aired on ABC w/Elizabeth Vargas.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-09-11 09:48:41

This is so AWESOME!!! It was just aired in Canada and I missed it (though Ive seen it before) and I was wondering when (if) Id ever get to see it again. The HBP DVD is shaping up to be the best yet!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-09-11 10:14:27

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-09-11 13:24:02

good news! cant wait to see A Year in the Life again :D i really wanted to own it somehow on DVD.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-09-11 22:05:44

thats awesome. that was a cool documentary. i hope the special features are better than on ootp, which i thought was ok but kind of lame. jkr a year in the life was really awesome but i thought it was kind of short to have been following her for a lot of years.
