Didn't see this posted. Amazon UK has the standard collection of the complete Harry Potter films for roughly 47 USD shipped. Description indicates it's region free. Potentially a pretty great deal if you don't have any of them.

That's a great price for 8 movies. Too bad they weren't that good (although I haven't seen 6, 7 or 8 yet).

Saw this on SD and thought it was a great deal. Year 1-7 blu-ray on the amazon.com site is $86, so for half the price you get all 8 movies. Even if you find all of them for $10 by themselves, that's still $80, so this is a great deal for those who are HP fans.

very very tempting

I thought they were all good except maybe order of the phoenix. Stuff was changed from the books but they were all enjoyable. The first 3 are my fav, but the last one was also really well done.

Crap that's a good deal. I have the first 6 or I'd be all over this.

Charges when they actually ship, right?

Preordered from Amazon UK. Strangely though, the US release was just announced for November 11th (and for wayyy more - $97.99).

Placed an order - Can't beat the price yet.

Ordered. Don't care for the series but my sister is obsessed with it, so I'll have a Christmas gift for her.

I had them on HD-DVD but sold them with my player. For less than $6 per Blu, this is perfect.

Six is so boring, more so than the rest.
Part 1 of the finale is the best of the bunch, its just them walking around for 2.5 hours but each scene is packed full of energy and tension.
Part 2 of the finale is the complete opposite, no energy no consequence, very boring. And its a great example of what happens when a director that cant shoot action tries too - not good.

Holy crap! What a deal! Just over $5 each for all eight Harry Potter movies on Blu-Ray? Region-free? With special features? Heck yeah!

How do these work with the exchange rate constantly changing? Are you at the mercy of the rate at the time of shipping or whatever it would exchange to right now?

Based on what I've read it's the exchange rate at the time of shipping.

It'd be the exchange rate when you're charged (so in December). You risk a change in currency value, but I'll chance it for dirt cheap box sets.

Makes sense, even if I was hoping otherwise. I guess its up to the customer to check up on the exchange before shipping.

Even stranger/sadder is the UK set has 11 discs (8 movies, 3 extras), where as the US one only has 8 discs (movies). So for twice the price you get less. Gotta love it!

You lock in the price via GBP, but the exchange rate isn't controlled by amazon. They charge your payment method the specific amount, which at this time is 30 GBP and your CC/DC company does the conversation.

Interesting thing though is you can change amazon.co.uk to display items in US dollars during the checkout, which locks in the conversion rate/price. It does not work on pre-orders sadly, at least as far as I could determine.

Pre-ordered. I just hope you're right about the 3 discs of bonus content. I couldn't find any evidence of this online except for websites that are quoting the "11 discs" on Amazon.uk. I just hope it's not an error.

I'm probably going to forget I ordered this and I'll be wondering why Amazon will be taking like $50 out of my account in december.

This was impossible to resist! Thank you, OP.

Thanks for the heads up, you opened my eyes to a world of cheaper uk region free releases on amazon!
