'Harry Potter' series to discontinue DVD release after Dec. 29

It seems that the Boy Who Lived is continuing in the footsteps of other famous children's movies. Warner Bros. will not distribute any other Potter films after Dec. 29. Similar to the Disney "vault," the Potter movies will be periodically re-released in stores. Harry Potter: The Complete 8-Film Collection hits stores Nov. 11 and will also be discontinued on Dec. 29. The 8-film package will run at around $60 and will probably be a Christmas list bestseller. According to Entertainment Weekly, $5.1 billion of the $12.1 billion that Harry Potter has brought Warner Bros. has come from the home entertainment department of the company. So be sure to get the latest Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, when it comes out on Nov. 11. If not, the opportunity may not present itself for a while.
