A trailer for Harry Potter: The Definitive Collection has been posted online, the trailer was included on the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II DVD. This special collection will be released on 2012 on BluRay. The trailer states that it includes “unrated bonus features.” I assume that within the coming months WB will be releasing more information about the set, such as the release date and what special features will be included.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be making it’s television debut during ABC Family’s 25 Days of Christmas. It will air on Sunday December 4th during their traditional Harry Potter weekend.
