Harry Potter: The Complete 8-Film Collection [4K UHD + Blu-Ray] [Region Free]

Happy with product, arrived early without damage.

I had previously purchased or received as gifts the prior 6 movies on DVD - most wide-screen but I think one gift was a full screen version. I decided I'd like a Blu-ray copy but they were usually around $70 or more for the set so never bought it and I actually had not seen the Deathly Hallows either. After receiving a gift card I figured what the heck, I'll go ahead and get the 11 disc set that was available at a more reasonable price. Here's what I noticed after watching all the movie discs (I pretty much had to so I'd remember everything and also to verify the disc were good).First the breakdown of the 11 disc - as mentioned they come in a "box" that isn't high quality but does the job of keeping the four cases together in a group. The four cases are labeled so you can see which "years" are included in the case. Two of the cases have two disc each, one has years 1 & 2 while the other has years 3 and 4. The third case has years 5 and 6 with a special features disc for year 6 (Half-blood Prince). Finally, there's the largest case that holds year 7 part 1 & 2 and the special features for both so a total of 4 discs in this last case. All of my discs had labels and I didn't have the blank or black label mentioned in other reviews.Quality of movies on Blu-ray - I'd say the first few movies seemed more like DVD copies and the sound was not as good as my LOTR Blu-ray collection. The later movies seemed better but perhaps that's to be expected with the first movie being from 2001 and the last movie around 2011?As I mentioned in the 11 discs breakdown, only the last three movies have the special features disc included. The others have minor special features like trailers, deleted/extended scenes, some actors talking about their characters and such. I also believe the Half-Blood Prince had the "Enhanced" movie playback feature but am pretty sure the Deathly Hallows did not. I'd also mentioned on the first few movies I think they just went right into play mode so if you want to get to the menu you have to use the remote to bring it up to view the minor features or wait until the movie is over and then forward through the credits. Being the "All" regions versions means you will see a lot more warnings about the copyright as the screen is shown in multiple languages.So if you are looking for the complete set, don't care too much about having a ton of special features for each movie or if you want a region free version, then this may be the best option for you. However if you like extended version and want more than you would have seen at the theater or just want to see all the special features or have an attractive storage box/case, then you'll have to look elsewhere.

Great way to spend an evening. Enjoyed watching these films in the comfort of my home.

I didn't discover until after the return window closed that the set I ordered does not offer Closed Captions, on the first 5 episodes. They're available on the last. I have a hearing problem that makes the voices of most women and children totally unintelligible, so any not-captioned DVDs are useless to me. Captioning on DVDs is currently voluntary, so unless Amazon includes correct information on captioning in the product description, I can't tell until I buy one and try it. In this case, the set was bought in October as a Christmas present, so we didn't discover the problem until last night, well beyond the 30-day window for returns.Update: Apparently Amazon merges all reviews for the Harry Potter set, even though there are 3 different offerings. I bought the set dated May 14, 2003 in the list, and Amazon's description says "Subtitles: English". But there are no subtitles/captions/options at all on the first disk. I would buy another set (the original is beyond the 30-day return window), but how would I know whether other descriptions are accurate either?UPDATE: Amazon generously refunded my account for this set, and I ordered a replacement 5-disc set to replace the "defective" DVDs in the original set. HOWEVER, I found the set of 5 to be similarly "not captioned". At this point I decided that the DVDs were probably OK, and that either I or my equipment were the problem. I turns out to be mostly an inconsistency in the way the Languages (and captioning) option on these DVDs is presented to the user; the remainder of the blame falls on me, a user who, in my (weak) defense had never seen this inconsistency in many years of viewing DVDs."Normally", as the DVD is loaded, a menu is presented listing all options, including Languages. In these "defective" DVDs, you must wait until the movie actually begins, then press "Pop-Up Menu" (on my DVD player controller; may be different on others) to call up the normal menu. Pressing it at the wrong time will do nothing, throw an error, or, on some, call up a different menu of special features. Having seen this sequence, it's actually much more convenient for those who don't normally mess with the Options menu. If the DVD player could be set to always turn on captioning, it would be even better.
