With the box office success of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix™,” Warner Bros.

Now packaged in new slim cases, the “Harry Potter™ Years 1-5 DVD Giftset,” available both on DVD ($49.92 SRP) and Blu-ray Hi-Def ($129.95 SRP), will be released just in time for the holiday gift giving rush.
The “Harry Potter™ Years 1-5 DVD Giftset” will include all five single disc Harry Potter films – “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone™,” “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets™,” “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban™,” “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire™” and “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix™.” The Blu-ray Hi-Def set will include the feature films plus over seven hours of special features. All titles will be available individually, as well, on both DVD and on Blu-ray Hi-Def.
Also available on DVD with new special pricing for a very limited time only, is the “Harry Potter™ Limited Edition Giftset.” Presented in a magnificent collectible ‘suitcase,’ the 12-disc DVD Giftset will include two-disc editions of all five Harry Potter films and will offer several enchanting additions.
