Videos: New Clips from Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection
Posted by Megs

This morning Warner Bros. have sent over three new clips from the Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection set, out September 10th! In case you have forgotten:

The Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection is a limited edition set containing over 37 hours of special features, including all previously released special features for all eight Harry Potter films. Also included are nearly four hours of exciting, never-before-seen bonus features that offer fans an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the Harry Potter franchise. Wizards and witches everywhere will enjoy the all-new documentaries like “Creating the World of Harry Potter, Part 7: Story,” in which J.K. Rowling sits down with the series’ screenwriter Steve Kloves and discusses the process of translating the books to the big screen. “Creating the World of Harry Potter, Part 8: Growing Up” incorporates new and vintage interviews with the cast to understand what it was like growing up on the set of the world-famous films, and ends with Daniel Radcliffe’s emotionally charged farewell speech to the cast and crew.

The first clip is called Columbus Leaves and shows the cast talking about when Christopher Columbus finished directing the first two Potter films and Alfonso Cuaron stepped in to fill the void.

The second is the clip SFX and Entertainment Weekly exclusively released earlier in the week, Expanding Beyond the Page. The clip goes behind the scenes of the Visual Effects.

Check back later today for two more clips!
