Harry Potter Years 1-5 [Blu-ray] Reviews: Loved the Movies/ This set defective 2009-11-08 - I guess I'm a little surprised that so many people actually kept this set since they noted the first two discs were not of blu ray quality. This set explicitly states that the Blu-ray discs are 1080p high definition. The first two are not. My old Harry Potter DVDs looked to be at a higher resolution when played on my blu ray player than these supposed 1080p (I am referring to the first two discs). I guess I like to get what is stated on the package. I returned mine. I will wait until a new set is released in hopes they actually release ALL the discs in 1080p.
Harry Potter just got even better 2009-11-08 - If you love the Harry Potter movies then you have to have then on Blu-ray
dics freezing 2009-11-06 - I love these movies and although it may be true the first two years aren't as 'blu'ray-y' as I would've hoped I can get past it. They still look better than the regular dvd. The biggest problem I have is that they tend to freeze in certain sections and I have to fast forward and miss bits to get it to work again. I have the same problem with all five discs, straight out of the package. I have a new Sony Blu Ray player that works like a charm on every other disc so I know it's not the player that's the problem. I'm really disappointed.
Amazing 2009-10-16 - These movies are even better in blu ray. I saw things I missed in regular definition. I have these movies in regular, HD, and Blu Ray. I know, I am crazy.
I would recommend getting the movies on blu ray.
Good hold-over 2009-10-04 - Year 1 doesn't actually look that great for a blu-ray video but 2-5 are quite good. I say this is a good hold-over since the super ultimate special editions are being released starting next month, which one should probably pick up if they're going for the best picture and sound quality. Hopefully they will have improved the over-all visual aspect of year 1.
