Picture: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone Harry Potter gets a 2.35:1 widescreen transfer using the VC-1 codec. Oh well, I thought, I’d watch the rest of the films in cinema, and buy them all as a boxset when it was done and dusted, all around the same time I fell out of love with the cinema experience, the small screens, the idiotic prices, the other people. The first two movies came out in collectable digipack form, but then Warner Brothers went and released Prisoner of Azkaban in a standard Amaray, and suddenly the symmetry of my shelving was thwarted. I went to the cinema for the first three films, and eagerly pounced on the DVDs, and that’s when the experience went sour. I loved the way the books were written, growing up with their target audiences fantastic, colourful children’s stories for The Philosopher’s Stone, and full on angsty teen fiction by the time Deathly Hallows came around. Introduction I was into Harry Potter mania when the first film came out, prompted to go back and pick up the books that all the cool business-folk on the daily commute were reading, and then being there front and centre for when the final three books were released.
