There is new footage from the upcoming “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” film included on the US Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix DVD. Readers will recall that when the UK saw the release last month, there were two special sneak peeks at the sixth Harry Potter film included via the DVD; today there is new video with the sneak peek, including some fantastic shots of Draco (Tom Felton) cursing Harry on the train, and Harry and Ginny, the interior of Slughorn’s home, and even dialog between Professor Dumbledore and Harry discussing Horcruxes (yes really!). Also new are various interviews conducted recently at the DVD launch in London, England, including new quotes from actress Emma Watson (Hermione), Matt Lewis (Neville), Rupert Grint (Ron) a hilarious quote from Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) discussing the Ron/Lavender snogging scenes, as well as quotes from producer David Heyman and HBP director David Yates. To watch (SPOILERS AHOY) click here via our galleries.

Many thanks lark and flaquita

Please don’t get me wrong dear US Potter friends, I am thrilled for all of you – but I find myself now cheated out of my money! Here I ran to the store last month, buying the OotP DVD – happily watching the extras on my PC – thinking how lucky we were in Europe!!!! And now we have to learn that our copy is not identical with the American one :-( This is absolutely outrageous….....!!! Had I known this, I would of waited and ordered it by Amazon.com, paid the expensive (!) shipping costs to Europe – but at least been content…Please folks, will you be so nice and put those scenes, interviews somehow ONLINE – so we here in Europe can see them also…THANK YOU ALL

Oh my goodness! Leaky.. you just made my day! Those H/G moments were so sweet.

But I have to agree with a previous poster… the UK (and I suspect the other dvds realised last month) and US DvDs are not the same.. we got less extra features, and it’s simply not fair.

Dawn—I’m in the US and I do not think it is fair either. They should all be the same,the world over.

Jeannine – That’s nice that you think so. HP is loved universally the world over. Therefore all HP fans should be entitled to the same features. The normal UK 2 disc version, is poor. But appartently the HD and Blu-ray dvds have MORE features… why? It’s non-sensical.

Anyway, I’m glad you guys in the US have your DvDs now. The wait is over.

Is there something going on between Apple and Time Warner. First, HP7 still isn’t available on iTunes. Now the Disk case clearly states that the digital version isn’t compatible with Mac’s or iPod. Guess I’ll have to find a hacked copy

I agree with Jeannine (and funny enough she agreed with me in another post haha)- I am in the US and all the dvds should be the same, and released at the same time. The last thing that this world needs is more animosity, and certainly not Potter-related animosity! Isn’t that one of the main messages in the Harry Potter epic? I suppose corporate didn’t read the story.. :-)

I wouldn’t feel too left out Kevin. It’s not just the ipd/apple.

I don’t know anyone who’s been able to get the portable version to work.

Have any of you guys been able to get the portable file to work? On what and how?
