Delayed audio and inconsistent packaging! Wanted to enjoy the Harry Potter movies, but the product itself seems subpar in comparison to other DVD collection products (e.g. LOTR). The DVD collection seems to be a Frankenstein of other individually packaged movies (i.e. The disc for The Half-Blood Prince says “Disc 1 Movie” as if it comes from a 2-DVD set). Most importantly, the audio in the Deathly Hallows Part 1 was severely delayed for a good 20-30 minutes of the movie. I have not seen Part 2 yet, so I can’t vouch for that movie, but movies 1-6 were fine. Lastly, as someone who needs/enjoys subtitles, HP 1-6 do NOT have a DVD menu screen, so you don’t have an option to turn them on. Overall, I enjoy and love Harry Potter, but this disc set was much less than what I had hoped for.
