all the Triwizard Games (not including the graveyard game) can be played back to back by selecting one and then clicking the Triwziard Cup after the narrator finishes!! If all are watches and played it should be around 3 hour of content. I have yet to finish the graveyard game which is the trickest out of them all Enjoy!

Why do we have to wait so much longer usually we get HPs around the same time

[rns91294]

I have watched 20 mins of it just now, and there is no sub menu saying "special features"
Rather disappointed 

Wait, the one disc version has NO extra features ?  That just doesn't seem right.  You would think the deleted scenes would at least be on it.

[EmmasOneandOnly]

Thats right Sara,

The standard Wide and Fullscreen versions have no extra special features disc, only the Special Edition

[kbmum]

I opened my 2-disc edition this morning and was surprised to see that the only paperwork inside was an ad for Noble Collection items.  Did anyone receive a sheet that lists the DVD contents and each scene?  There was one with POA, and it really helps when I need to skip certain scenes that will scare my kids.

[canny19]

There was no little insert in the 1-Disc version either.
Usually they have the chapters listed etc, with some nice pictures 

Its a shame that they have nothing in them

  You're just now opening it?  We've been watching it a few time a day here!! 

That's all that was in my special edition too!  I thought that was pretty lame! 

[kbmum]

Yeah, I know.   We decided to sit down as a family and watch it together, so we have to do it during the weekend.  I'm disappointed that there's no sheet with the scenes listed, but at least now I won't make a fool of myself by trying to return the DVD to Wal-Mart.

Hey, I have to watch out for my reputation.   The people at my local post office think I'm a pain in the backside with all of the packages I receive and send.   I can't have Wal-Mart thinking that, too!

The people at my local post office think I'm a pain in the backside with all of the packages I receive and send.

My poor mailman has me as the first delivery on his route when he does my street.  He parks his truck across the the street from my house so he can drop off all the parcels/padded envelopes off so he doesn't have to carry them all around the block while making his other deliveries.

Ha ha - once again we're all a world apart but our lives are the same. My postman could *almost* be relied upon as an alarm clock because he knocks on the door like he has to wake someone deaf who lives in a mansion I'm often sitting not too far from the door on the laptop and it scares the life out of me

[HPfamily]

OH WOW!! How true is this!!
My mail lady drives her own car to deliver, and instead of knocking, I get the horn!!! 

[Sharon]

Well I got my copy on Wednesday but have only gone through the second disc so far.  I was disappointed with the deleted scenes - I am sure there is a lot more they could put in and I would love a bloopers reel, but alas not this time 

The little games are great although I am struggling on the maze (Sharon struggling on a game, what's new  ).  The little featurettes are fantastic and make the whole film making process look like one big laugh.  I do wish they had put chapters in some of the longer ones though.

Well onto the film next    And yes Dawn it totally sucks that the region 2 one isn't out yet.  For the life of me I can't see why they didn't do a world wide release.

[rns91294]

My postman thinks I am nuts.  We accidentally dropped of about 25 Christmas cards in our drop box outside (it is locked, so once the mail is in, you can't get it out) and realized we forgot the stamps!!  The next morning, I waited for him to come so I could get them back and put stamps on them before he left

But, back to the topic, I was a bit dissapointed with the deleted scenes as well, although the first one was pretty funny.

I also liked the games and the process of the making of the film.  However, this time, you get an interview with the three main kids.  I think the last one actually interviewed multiple characters, and I would have liked to see that again too.

The DVD comes out here in Oz TOMORROW!! Can't wait...all I can see through pre-orders on the net is a two disc edition available...no one disc..but it may change as stock arrives in stores.
 

[ferdinand_the_yak]

Trey, do you know whether we get a regular edition and then a deluxe/collectors edition for this? I haven't been taking much notice

[Trey]

The only ones I have seen so far are these:

The only difference I think is that the JBHi-Fi one has the special lenticular insert...apart from that they all look like 2-disc special editions...havent found any one-disc's yet.

[ArwenEvenstar]

Went to my local JB store today and they did indeed have a special edition with a lenticular cover. Its Harry with his wand and I think when you move it it becomes Harry on his broom with the Hungarian Horntail close behind. Pretty cool and I couldnt find any other special editions at any other stores so I think I might go ahead and pick this edition up tomorrow. 

[blackcat20]

oh, i didnt know about the lenticular cover. I got mine at Kmart, it came in an extra slip cover, by the sound of it with the same pic as the JB lenticular cover; harry in the bottom corner holding his wand up, horntail up the top...
