[Colli]

April 11th... a month and a half earlier than last year! :D :clap: And now at least the US and UK get it at the same time... :)

MORE MALFOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interview with... Alan Rickman? :crosses fingers:

WB's press release confirms the April 11, 2003 release date for the US, UK, Germany and Australia, among other countries. Among the additional scenes are "more Dobby mischief, more flying car adventure and a frightening encounter with the Malfoys in Borgin and Burkes." There will also be interviews with Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Rupert Grint (Ron), Emma Watson (Hermione) and other cast members who talk about making the film, favorite scenes, and more, and on the DVD-ROM, you'll be able to access a history of Hogwarts

[Bleu Unicorn]

Wow, not wasting any time, eh?

Not that I'm complaining, mind you. [writes date down in calendar] Thanks for the info, Colli! I'm hyped up for it most definitely!

[Colli]

:D No problem. My guess is they wanted to make sure everyone had enough time to buy the DVD before the big June release of OotP. :clap:

Welcome to the Muggle Informer!

A slider puzzle challenge featuring motion video.

Printable magic trading cards to collect and share with friends.

Jigsaw puzzles, matching challenges, downloadable screensavers and much more!

[Bleu Unicorn]

Very cool! [circles date on calendar] I just hope that the deleted/extended scenes aren't as annoying to find this time. Not that I have anything against playing the games on the DVD, but that was kind of a pain for only seven scenes that weren't really that long. Still I'm excited! And OoTP in June to boot!

[Pippin]

Good news! :clap: That´s really soon, btw. I think TTT won´t even be out of the theatres by then (hey, this is what the press release calls a "key territory" :D).

19 new scenes!

More Lucius Malfoy! :swoon:


Sounds like the specials etc. will be of better quality than the last one, which I ended up not buying at all. :eek: Good news indeed.

[Irys]

19 new scenes! :swoon: of happiness. And interviews are always good.

I hope the new scenes are easier to get to this time.:rolleyes:

[Ring Lunatic]

YAY!!! What a GREAT news!!! Can't wait to have it...

[Kristin]

More flying car adventure? :rolleyes: *groan*

And I really hope they don't hide the deleted scenes like they did last time. :mad:

Other than that, I'm looking forward to it. :)

[sirius2004]

hrm....19??:eek: are we SURE this 19 won't be the same as last year's 13?? ie....7??

[Colli]

GreaT! :D :D

[Zippy]

Well I don't blame you Colli. I'm excited over the interview too. I will be very disappointed if it's not on there. I will know who to blame when my feelings are crushed.:D

[Colli]

:o uh oh


( :devil: )

[Terry]

Colli, you and I think alike, methinks. You can NEVER get too much of Jason Issacs and Alan Rickman. Goodness, I'll wear those parts of my DVD out! Maybe I should buy two.....

[Bleu Unicorn]

http://atlas.imagemagician.com/images/bleuunicorn/cheerleader.gif http://atlas.imagemagician.com/images/bleuunicorn/woohoo.gifPre-ordered my copy of Chamber Of Secrets today! :D April...why does that have to be soooooo far away. (Wait...I'm not complaining, I still have to fill out my grad school forms. :eek: http://atlas.imagemagician.com/images/bleuunicorn/eek.gif http://atlas.imagemagician.com/images/bleuunicorn/whoa.gif)

[Colli]

:D Terry, you'll find you aren't alone here. A lot of us think that way. ;)

The official site has a preview of the DVD, but thanks to my computer I can barely see it. Looks to have been much improved from the last DVD, though!

From the Official Site (http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/web/dailyprophet/article.jsp?id=ABOUT_DVD&arc=1)

:D Bleu, April's around the corner. ;) Look at that, February's half gone already!

[ChianaWeasley]

the only beef i have, is with Ron's picture. In all of the pictures of rupert he looks terrified. Sure hes a good actor, and he's good at being scared. But those pictures really dont show who Ron IS. I just wish they'd stop riding the scary look, the wheels are going to fall off.

I just hope people dont remember ron as the whiny, scared kid.

[elanorh]

How 'bout Hermione's pouty siren look on the DVD cover?! :eek: :rolleyes:

I can't believe it'll be out so soon ... when you think of it in terms of weekends, the release date is almost here!! :eek: :D

[Colli]

:D Less than a month!

[alqua]

I found some pics of the new scenes:

They include a scene with Colin (*shudder*), the Kwikspell scene between Filch and Harry, Lockhart's pop quiz, and more Quidditch. (Guess the Quidditch is gonna have to tide us over *pout*)

Also, here are 3 more caps that were in international trailers and not in the movie. (Thanks to www.mugglenet.com for the links.. I hate taking credit for everything. :D)

Anyone else excited! They keep showing the trailers just to torment ME!

[Terry]

I ordered my copy from Amazon. It had BETTER BE THERE on Friday! Or I'll be angry. (Need Snape and Lucius fix....)

[Amberion]

well it was on sale in all the shops today:cool: :cool: :cool:

[Terry]

I just went to Amazon to check the status of my order. I'm glad I did! I ordered it with TOoP and found that they were going to be shipped.....in July!!! So I cancelled that baby right away. Now I have to go on a CoS hunt today. Hope that everyone hasn't already reserved all copies... I really, really want to CoS tonight!!

That's really strange... because I did the same thing... ordered the CoS DVD with the TOoP book... the DVD was shipped on Sunday and they're gonna be shipping TOoP in late June... I wonder why yours is different... hmmm
Looking forward to getting my copy in the mail today or tomorrow... if not... oh well, I think I can live ;)

[Terry]

My fault. Apparently, I clicked on some sort of "save money" thingy with regards to shipping. So they lumped my two orders into one. And hence, were going to mail my CoS DVD with the book....in July. So I cancelled both. In fact, I'm off now to buy the DVD. Hope you get yours today!

[ChianaWeasley]

It's out today! It's out today! My friends are making a mad dash to stores right after school, me and Din are going to check out Coconuts. We're going to a scary movie sleep over, maybe the HP fans will overpower the scary flick fans.

;)

[Colli]

Yay! April 11th is here! :clap:

I need to wait for mom to get home.. I don't have a car right now. :D But I'm indeed very excited!!

[Reba]

I got mine :) Stopped at Best Buy on my way home from the dentist this evening. Only $19.99 for the DVD, today only :D

Yay! I get to watch Dobby any time I want to now! He's funny :LOL:

[Terry]

Got mine, got mine...it's playing now.....I wish they had included the "weird shop" footage. I wish CC had made a director's version. There are some cuts on the "extra" disk that would have made the movie more interesting.....

[Colli]

:D I got mine at Walmart for $16. ;)

Ah.. I get to watch Lucius anytime I want..

[StarGazr]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeee mine arrived from Amazon in the mail yesterday!! There was actually a sticker on it that read "Not to be delivered before April 11th" HAHA!! I've watched it once through all the way, and now I'm just jumping around to parts I like... mainly the dueling scene!! Hehe... and I've watched Disc 2.... ohhhh :swoon: for my men... what.. Colli what was that... your men... get in line!

[Terry]

Lucius, Lucius.....all the time, anytime..... And some Snape tooo. Haa haaaa. I love DVD's!!!

[Elfëa]

The weirdest thing is that I rented mine on 9th!

[Severus Snape]
