Harry Potter: The Complete 8-Film Collection

Product Information

I was into Harry Potter mania when the first film came out, prompted to go back and pick up the books that all the cool business-folk on the daily commute were reading, and then being there front and centre for when the final three books were released.

The Harry Potter 8-Film Collection Limited Edition is limited to 25 000 copies and was released in the UK

Thankfully Chamber of Secrets avoids that, although you cannot get away from the patchwork feel of the narrative, the feeling that each scene is a week or two apart.

All that Harry, Ron, and Hermione need to do is to find the final few Horcruxes and destroy them, to render Voldemort vulnerable. Black detail was always apparent, which in a movie with such a darker palette compared to the first was very welcome. widescreen transfer using the VC-1 codec, and once again I’m hard pressed to pick out any particular flaws with the image. It may be a speed-walking pedestrian, but it’s still a matter of getting from A to B, hitting all the right points in between, and there’s very little room for cinematic flourish, very little that distinguishes the Goblet of Fire from a straight up adaptation, and it doesn’t feel like a movie in the way that Prisoner of Azkaban did. Harry keeps attracting trouble though, and in between fending off his nemesis Malfoy and learning to fly a Hippogriff, he learns an uncomfortable truth about Sirius Black.Gilderoy Lockhart (Kenneth Branagh) and Pomona Sprout (Miriam Margolyes) have joined the staff and Harry and his friends soon find that once again all is not right at the school - pupils seem to be petrified, literally, and a monster is on the loose. By this point, they’ve taken to desaturating the image of colour to add to the gloominess, and quite often a scene will fade to black in the background, really only highlighting the foreground elements.
