April 11th, eh? I expected a late May release like the last one, but I am not complaining.
THE GOOD
19 additional/extended scenes
That could be anywhere for 30 to 60 minutes of more scenes!
Interviews with J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and other cast members.
Whoa! They even got Rowling to join in for this time around! I know that should be a given, but she is not one to come out and do interviews time and time again. I would also like to see Jason Isaacs and his whole take on the movie.
Lockhart's Galleries
Hopefully this is a nice set of production photos that we have never seen, along with the standard press release photos.
DVD-Rom interactive Hogwarts timeline.
Could be an interesting read, or it could just be a bunch of older footage from the two movies, time will tell.
Self-guided tours which include background characters.
This was a fun yet slow addition to the first DVD, here is hoping they take those small tours from the website and speed them up.
THE BAD
Fun-filled activities allow viewers to escape the Forbidden Forest, sneak into the Chamber and more.
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!
Blah. All of this is a waste of disc space that could be used for better features. Between the the backlash to the first DVD and the success of the FotR : EE DVD, I think Warner Bros. could learn that simple menus are the ONLY option. If this release is a major improvement over the last, then I hope Warner will re-release the original movie on a new DVD as well. I would buy it in an instant.
April 11th should be an interesting day.
