I don't have a Blue Ray machine. Does that mean I can't watch in and listen to Yates and Dan chatting live on Dec. 12?

Wow I just checked out the site yesterday for the first time, i didn't know it was a revamped version (i would've sent a tip to mugglenet!) I noticed a piece of music on the site in the "About the film" section with dumbledore in the cave that does not appear on the soundtrack, but it definitely sounds like Nicholas Hooper it sounds genuine and i don't know if it was in the film... hmmmm.. i wonder. Question: what does the Blu-ray/DVD Combo edition include? I don't have a Blu-ray player or an HD TV, but if this edition contains a regular DVD and the all the special features and deleted scenes i might get it instead of the 2-Disc Special Edition, because Amazon is offering it for $16.99 only! Can anyone help me please?

Not impressed that everything is geared up for the Blu-Ray release and not much for general DVD. Parents refuse to get HD :( Still excited for the DVD though :) Just need to decide where to buy it cause Amazon UK are doin a special edition with death eater mask *geeks out* xD

We will not be getting a blue ray for some time I imangine. DVDs only truly caught on around 2002-3. I can remember still buying VHS in 2003 because DVDs were too expensive. I am not changing video tech every 6 years...that's nuts in a depressed economy. At least VHS had about 15 years before the change over. Not everyone is made of money and willing to go into debt just to have the latest fad. I don't have a flat screen tv either. Wish I did, but that's in the budget for about 2 years from now, after a car. Call me cheap I guess. I prefer to think of it as prudent. Clothing my kids takes priority over gadgets that are fun. So, no commentary for me.

I AGREE WITH YOU HERONFAN! DVD Was actually created 1997.. back then MANY people NEVER heard of a DVD.. My parents purchase our FIRST DVD in 1999 (We still use it up 'till now, lol) but it took like 5 YEARS for DVD to be Mainstream and popular.. NOW Blu-Ray came out in 2007.. it's 2009 going on 2010 and i still don't care to buy one. So it Won't be until 2012 until People start buying Blu-Ray alot.

Is Dumbledore right that Hogwarts sorts its students into Houses too soon - while the kids are too young?

They make a fuss about Hogsmeade, but I assure you, Harry, it's not all it's cracked up to be. All right, the sweetshop's rather good, and Zonko's Joke Shop is frankly dangerous, and yes, the Shrieking Shack's always worth a visit, but really, Harry, apart from that you're not missing anything.
