CBBC Newsround has now posted their review of the of the Harry Potter and the Order of the PhoenixDVD. Presenter Lizo gave the latest DVD a 3 out of 5 rating, noting the best parts included "seeing some of the behind the scenes stuff in the Tonks feature. The long version of the scene where Umbridge inspects Professor Trelawney's Divination lesson is great. " He also lamented a few things, writing "OOTP is the longest story, and it would be nice to have a feature explaining how together the team behind the movie decided what should be cut out of the book. There's nothing from JK Rowling on here. Perhaps one day we'll get a DVD commentary from her (where as we watch the movie she talks about the scenes we're seeing). "
Also, as TLC has reported previously, those sneak peek clips of the upcoming "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" film are still not available via the link to the official UK Harry Potter website. Lizo reiterates what we reported previously that the " Half-Blood Prince sneak preview - it looks as if when you use the extras DVD in a PC, you'll be able to access an early look at the sixth film on the official website. But at the moment I can't seem to access this feature with my DVD - presumably because it won't be activated on the website until the DVD is available in the shops. "
The DVD is due on store shelves tomorrow in the United Kingdom. Thanks to the BBC!
Ok so you know the Half Blood Prince thing, do you get to see pictures or an actual clip?? And why doesn’t JK Rowling do the first BOOK COMMENTARY. They should put those on the audiobooks. after every page, she tells us about it… I would waste my life away listening to that
I agree that it would be really nice to have DVD commentary from JK Rowling.
It would also be wonderful if they had done the Harry Potter movies like they did the Lord of the Ring movies, where the abbreviated version was in the theaters but the DVD contained a lengthened version, which included more of the book.
Tempest in a teapot. About the only thing I, for one, ever enjoy on the added features is an interview with the cast. A lot of the extra material, to be honest, can sometimes be a little fluffy and inconsequential.
Mabe what Marcheline is asking is becasue Amazon and many other web stores have not put it up for pre order yet and Amazon still has not put up the release date. Amazon still has a note saying to sign up for relase date info. You would think Amazon would have the pre order up by now.
I did notice Wal-mart has finally set up so you can pre order through them but they just did that with in this week.
I just think it is odd that the pre order time for this film has been so short. I pre ordered Shrek about four months ago.
Nothing would ever deflect Professor Binns from plowing on through his notes on goblin rebellions -- as Binns hadn't let his own death stand in the way of continuing to teach, they supposed a small thing like Christmas wasn't going to put him off.
wow this sounds great i can’t wait (yes #1)
