Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection (US)

by Micah Tannenbaum · October 28, 2013

Complete with 31 discs and over 37 hours of special features, the Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection provides fans with the most complete and in-depth look at the series to date.

Buy on Amazon

The box is designed with six main compartments and several secret ones. I’ll be honest. I didn’t even find the bonus features Blu-ray disc until I watched the cast unveiling video (which you can see below) and saw Matt Lewis (Neville Longbottom) reveal the hidden location.

 

 

So let’s break down this box set one compartment at a time. The topmost compartment contains a booklet with the DVD and Blu-ray versions of Sorcerer’s Stone, Special Features: Year 1, and Creating the World of Harry Potter Part 1: The Magic Begins. Each of the other seven films can be found in similar booklets with covers reflective in some way of that specific movie. And each contains a DVD and Blu-ray version, special features (up to Goblet of Fire), and their respective Creating the World of Harry Potter disc.

The second compartment contains Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban, and the third contains Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, and Half-Blood Prince.

Underneath them lies a small drawer that contains a set of labels created by the production team for potions, wizarding products, and more, as well as sketch prints from production designer Stuart Craig (both pictured below).

Beneath that is a compartment that holds probably some of the most sought-after content in this set: the booklets containing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. Fans get both movies on DVD, Blu-ray, and in 3D as well as the conclusion to the Creating the World of Harry Potter series, Part 7: Story and Part 8: Growing Up.

There are hidden compartments that contain a map and blueprint of Hogwarts, a 48-page book featuring the film’s graphic designer’s favorite props, a small scroll that gives the owner access to an UltraViolet digital copies of the films, and finally, Slytherin’s locket.

Now, one of the things most fans will be searching for is the close-to-five-hour bonus features disc I mentioned earlier. Once you find it, here are a few things to look forward to.

The extended version of When Harry Left Hogwarts takes fans behind the scenes and provides unprecedented access to the final two films in the Potter franchise.

The documentary opens with a bit of a prank relating to the Epilogue, but soon enough you’re taken back in time two years prior to watch the crew construct the Hogwarts exterior, the same Hogwarts exterior that would be destroyed in battle just months later. You’ll witness a read-through of one of the final battle scenes, and I’ll admit, it’s weird seeing Voldemort in a jumper and a pair of jeans.

 

 

One unique feature in this documentary is hearing from different crew members and how Potter provided them the chance of a lifetime: the hardcore fan turned make-up artist who spoke in great detail about what it was like to watch Ralph Fiennes and Alan Rickman film in the boathouse (she also has a tattoo of Voldemort on her left arm), the showrunner who happens to be Gary Oldman’s son, the Death Eaters who have day jobs as salesmen, and the man responsible for plastering the walls of Hogwarts.

There are moments of humor, where we learn every person’s car was once searched because a wand went unaccounted for, moments of reflection, as Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint show you the rooms where they took their school lessons, and moments of pause, as stuntman David Holmes recounts his injury on the set and returns to visit with cast and crew for the first time since his accident.

Much more is waiting for you in these bonus features that chronicle the last days of filming on the set of Harry Potter.

 

 

If you are or know a Harry Potter fan who is looking for the most comprehensive set of films, features, extras, and then some, this collector’s set makes for the perfect gift.

Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection is also available in the UK – check out MuggleNet’s review of the UK edition by Rosie Morris.

Potter Quote

“Cedric was a person who exemplified many of the qualities that distinguish Hufflepuff house. He was a good and loyal friend, a hard worker, he valued fair play. His death has affected you all, whether you knew him well or not. I think that you have the right, therefore, to know exactly how it came about. […] Cedric Diggory was murdered by Lord Voldemort.”
