At a glance, it looks like another disc for kidsRon, you took the words right out of my mouth. While it looks this DVD will have more extras than the first film, I would love to see something of actual "depth" as an extra. Last time I checked, didn't they document all of the filming of the first two films (and I'm sure they'll do it again for the third film)? Maybe we will see a "Harry Potter Revisited" down the line, but oh well. I'll still be buying this considering CompUSA stocks 20 copies of the widescreen version for $9.99.
April 11th falls on a Friday this yearDVDs that come to mind that have been released on a Friday:
- Armageddon
- Blair Witch Project
- Shrek
- Spider-man
Mostly Friday VHS/DVD releases are saved for big blockbusters.
Well, sure, but most of those Friday releases have been a month or two before Christmas, too. The Friday release in the spring seems kind of odd, especially when you consider that Sorcerer's Stone (which did bigger box office than Chamber of Secrets) was released on a Tuesday last May.Was the Sorcerer's Stone box bigger at the same time after its release? I know a bunch of screens locally are still showing Chamber of Secrets, so the final figures on its box office totals are still in flux. Does the one billion reported for Sorcerer's Stone include the DVD sales?

with not a single thought put into what adults
might like.I wouldn't go that far. While it skews more towards the kiddy stuff that it probably should, it's more balanced than the PS/SS set. In particular the number of deleted scenes, the cast interviews, and the featurette with Rowling and Kloves interest me.
Do we really need to see another documentary with a bunch od guys in front of computers with wire frame models of creatures?Documentaries can contain more than guys at a computer with wire frame models of creatures. Fellowship of the Ring: EE had over six hours of documentary footage, and last time I checked, all six (and more) hours are worth watching at least once if you own the DVD.
