I’m kind of disappointed to see that they are including stuff on the HD DVD and the Blu Ray disc that they aren’t on the regular DVDs. However the HD DVD is a DVD combo release, so it will play on a regular DVD player. It will cost a few dollars more, but it may be worth it. I feel that instead of including that A&E Documentary: The Hidden Secrets of Harry Potter on the regular DVD, which everyone who is an HP fan already saw when it was on A&E four months ago, they should replace it with the In Movie Experience - Join the cast from Dumbledore’s Army as they come together to share memorable moments that is included on the HD/DVD combo. Just my opinion.
