Posted by Megs

Warner Bros have announced today that there is a pop-up Harry Potter store at Harrods in London! It is open from today until January 2012 and contains ton of Harry Potter products and memorabilia.

Located on the 3rd floor of the store, The Harry Potter Shop at Harrods covers over 4,000 square feet and offers fans and holiday shoppers the opportunity to select from a huge range of Harry Potter products. The product range includes prop replicas and collectibles from The Noble Collection and Tonner Doll; toys and games from LEGO, TOMY, Hasbro, Winning Moves, and She Who Dares; a collection of wizard costumes from Rubies; and the LEGO Harry Potter video games. “Harry Potter™ : The Complete 8-Film Collection” in the Limited Edition Elder Wand Chest, which is only available in the UK at Harrods, starting 2 December 2011, will retail for £199 and contains the complete Harry Potter film collection on 11 Blu-ray™ discs.

Game pods are set up in-store to allow fans to play LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, as well as LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, upon its release on 18 November 2011. Sony also has their latest 3D technology on display so fans can watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows™ – Part 1 and, after its release on 2 December, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows™ – Part 2 in 3D. Finally, Warner Bros.

You can pre-order the movie at the following links.  Make sure you get your copies before December 2011, because as I posted a few months ago WB will stop shipping out all of the Potter DVDs in December so you will no longer be able to purchase physical copies (until they do a re-release a la Disney)

Relive the Magic in Blu-ray {spoiler alert}
Posted by Megs

As Harry Potter comes to an end we finally say goodbye to our favourite characters and as the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows DVD is released lovers of the young wizard can relive the magic in Blu-ray. No one can deny that the cinematography in the final instalment is stunning, especially on the Blu-ray edition, with the special effects enhancing the excellent acting and helping the story flow through the jam packed plot lines.

Whether you have read the book or not you are able to follow the story, which is a miracle if you think about the number of pages they have crammed into the film. Whenever a book is made into a movie there are people who claim that the new version has not stayed true to the original, quite clearly the film has done a very good job as the film has rave reviews.

From the very beginning of the film the action comes through and the viewer is left routing for Harry as he progresses in his quest to bring down the evil Lord Voldermort. As Harry, Hermione and Ron strive to uncover the final Horcruxes and battle for their freedom the audience watch in awe.

The story starts with the image of Lord Voldermort holding the elder wand, the image of evil and the main reason all the characters are in this situation. The director seems to be bringing the story back to the beginning; Voldermort created Harry’s mission and without that first curse this story would never have existed.

Throughout the film the story unfolds and we are brought right into the story, and the entire picture unravels before us. We discover all of the secrets kept from both Harry and the audience throughout the rest of the films and books. These revelations are displayed beautifully in front of us and the entire picture is given to the audience.

The only part of the films which sticks is the end and although the film ending reflects the book, which shows Harry and Ginny helping their children onto the Hogwarts train, the characters do not reflect the older counterparts they are supposed to be portraying.

The tales are now part of our culture and the films are some of the best in British history. They should be watched simply for the cinematography and the new Blu-ray edition gives you the perfect excuse to relive the magic.
