Harry Potter Being Pulled From Shelves in December

Bye bye Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Warner Bros will be pulling all of the DVDs for the eight Harry Potter films from stores on December 29, 2011. This removal of all Harry Potter videos will come just seven weeks or so after the release of the final Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, on DVD on November 11th. So if you want to own any of the Harry Potter movies, you better put in your order/visit a store before the end of December.
 
The studio hasn’t announced when they will make the DVDs available again, but it’s likely they will be back in special editions/more expensive versions sometime in the near future. Per the official press release:
 
“Harry Potter, the #1 motion picture franchise of all time, will soon disappear from shelves, as Warner Bros. stops shipping all Harry Potter theatrical film titles (including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows™ – Part 2, and Harry Potter: The Complete 8-Film Collection) as of December 29, 2011 (moratorium does not include digital – Electronic Sell-Through & VOD – or games). The Harry Potter franchise has grossed more than $12.1 billion for Warner Bros. Entertainment – with $7 billion at the worldwide box office for Warner Bros. Pictures and $5.1 billion for Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.”
