Warner Bros plans to release another Blu-ray for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone for it’s 20th Anniversary. Happy Anniversary HARRY!!! Pick up the new edition on August 17th.
On this release the studio is adding a Magical Movie Mode. Here are the details from the press release:
The Harry Potter Magical Movie Mode is a wondrous new way to experience Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, allowing fans the ability to discover filmmaking secrets, spell incantations, creatures, magical artifacts, trivia, and more in this enchanting collection of fun activities and curiosities. Let the magic begin!
The Wizarding World is recognized as one of the world’s best-loved franchises and represents a vast, interconnected world which touches all aspects of Harry Potter fans’ lives.
Today it encompasses bestselling novels, blockbuster Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, a multi award-winning stage play, innovative products and apparel, state-of-the-art video and mobile games, unique retail experiences and live entertainment – including world-class Universal theme parks, exhibitions, the popular Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter attraction, and two new virtual reality experiences at Harry Potter New York.
Magical Movie Mode includes director’s commentary from Chris Columbus offering candid insight and amusing anecdotes from the production of the first film, deleted scenes, quizzes testing your potent knowledge of a vast array of topics from the film, graphics and audio during select scenes in the film draw you further into Harry’s world, and much more!
As far as specs it’s coming a Dolby Digital surround track. I’m hoping this is also coming to 4K as we previously announced the 20th Anniversary Steelbook for the boy wizard and his friends at Hogwarts.
