SS and COS Ultimate Editions arriving December 8th too
A couple months ago, we reported that Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets Ultimate Editions were in the works.Today, with the news of the Half-Blood Prince DVD arriving December 8th, we've now learned that the Ultimate Editions will hit store shelves on the same day. As Video Business reports:
The new Ultimate Editions of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, priced at $39.92 on DVD and $49.99 on Blu-ray, will each include five hours of special features, theatrical and extended versions of the film, a 48-page photo book and other collectibles.
Among the special features will be screen tests, new featurettes with the cast and filmmakers and the first two one-hour installments of a new comprehensive documentary about the making of the movie franchise. Called Creating the World of Harry Potter, the eight-hour documentary will have one hour on each Ultimate Edition.
Additionally, Video Business reveals that a new iPhone app - allowing users to learn and fire virtual spells at friends - will arrive in November.

Wicked. I can't wait. Sounds like there is going to be lots of great stuff packed into these extended editions.
LOL at the iPhone app! Too bad I don't have an iPhone.... Ultimate Editions sure look cool!!
I'm sooo mad! Of course they ce out with this stuff after I already have all five on blu-Ray. I want to buy them but yet don't want to but them again. Shouldn't even get hbp if they're only gonna release the extended version of that too! Warner bros. why do you do this to me!! Ahhh!!
This is so EFFIN awesome!!! I didn't know it came with all these special features!! I'm so excited!! I can't wait to buy these! I really hope they do this with ALL the movies!! I wonder if the "In Movie Experience" is a commentary?? I really hope so! And I'm so excited about the screen tests. They need to put bloopers on these too.
FINANLLY THE EXTENDED!!! My dad and I have been complaining for ages about how they would have the deleted scences on tv in the movie but not on the dvd great! I agree iwantolando05 (btw great name lol) they need bloopers!!! But now I have 2 problems, 1) Money 2) What am I going to do with my old copies of SS and CoS?!!! Lol.
This is soo exciting! I can't wait! I too have the same problem, what shall I do with my old HP SS DVD?
I know what I want for Christmas!!!!
Oh my gods. This is almost like my dream where they came out with super extended editions for the mega-fans, LotR-style. It's close enough! I just hope they're doing this for Philosopher's Stone, no way I'm buying something with "Sorcerer's Stone" on it. :P
Just in time for Christmas, yay!
@ales_c98: what is so bad about "sorcerer's stone"? I think that Philosopher's stone is so much weirder. I am so excited only money wise I don't think I will be able to get it.....
this just made my day! now i know what to ask for for christmas this year.
Cool, but the first two aren't that good to deserve this jinormous box set. I'm stcking with my dvds. But HBP is a deffinately Blu-ray buy for me.
You're right alex_c98. I hope they do it with Philosopher's Stone. I didn't like changing it into Sorcerer's Stone!
This isn't worth it. WB states there will be five discs: theatrical, extended, features, more features, and a digital copy. On this website they list SS and COS to only have seven and thirteen minutes respectively of new footage. They also wrote disc 3 will have deleted scenes...so it's not a fully woven movie like Lord of the Rings got. http://www.hometh eaterforum.com/forum/thre ad/293063/whv-press-relea se-harry-potter-ultimate- editions-dvd
WTF lol ultimate collectors editions arent supposed to be each individual movie in a huge package with more stuff its supposed to be every movie in the saga in one massive case with mounds of extras on more dvds like they did with the superman ultimate collectors edition which was 14 DVDS so with HP it would be around 25 DVD total but I'm sure WB will release a SUPER MEGA ULTIMATE PLATINUM SET once all the movies are out
waterbug - I don't endorse the "Sorcerer's Stone" title because the reasons behind the title change were ridiculous. Also, they changed the name of a historical object (or rather, a legendary one), which bothers me greatly. Plus, I can't stand when things get Americanized.
I have to agree with alex_c98 about the Philosopher's Stone vs. Sorcerer's Stone thingy. When I first learned why the name had been changed, I was seriously laughing my rear end off and couldn't quite believe how they could have done something so stupid. And I'm not even a native English speaker. The Philosopher's Stone is a historical/legendary object, for ef's sake. It's like changing the name of Stonehenge to something different for the American tourists. Even though it would be nice to own different versions of the books, in addition to the Bloomsbury versions and Finnish versions I already own, I don't think I could ever buy the Scholastic versions of the HP books, simply because I can't stand the Americanisation of them.
oh....my...god.... i will buy them online:D do u think they'll send me them all the way to Romania?
FINALLY!!!!! =D I've been waiting for this for like ever! Finally WB is taking a leaf out of LOTR's and Narnia's book. HP SOOO ROCKS!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!! =D
omg!!! i am definitely gonna buy those DVD's for my collection!!!!] could u guys pls post which countries it would be available, and when those would be released in each countries!!?! thanks
