Harry Potter: 8-Film Collection 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

It's never too late for magic.

Reviewed by Randy Miller III December 2, 2025

Released between 2001 and 2011, all eight Harry Potter films adapt the seven wildly popular books by author J. K. Rowling, who has absolutely never said anything controversial in her long and prolific career. Long available on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K (not long after the dawn of the format almost 10 years ago), the full run of films was also compiled in this compact boxed set that serves up all of them in HD and UHD... and yes, it's been out for quite some time, but this one's still selling like Butterbeer hotcakes. There's a catch, of course: no legacy bonus features are included here, but it's readily available at a pretty attractive price point and ideal for holiday break movie marathons.

For synopses and critiques of the eight films included here, please see the following UHD reviews written by Michael Reuben and Martin Liebman, some of which point back to earlier Blu-ray reviews written by Kenneth Brown.

NOTE: These screenshots are sourced from the included Blu-ray discs.

For a visual assessment of all eight films in both formats, please see the UHD/Blu-ray reviews linked above, which in some cases also point back to earlier 1080p releases. I'm of the mindset that these are good but not great 4K discs for the most part and could benefit from better use of HDR and less filtering, but they're nowhere near as contentious as those Lord of the Rings UHDs. Please also note that my "Video 2K" score of 4/5 rates the eight Blu-rays a little bit lower than some of these earlier reviews, as all but the last two films are authored on older discs encoded with VC-1 (an early HD codec eventually replaced by the more efficient AVC) and as such are beginning to show their age. In all honesty, though, even the Blu-rays should still look perfectly decent on smaller displays.

Harry Potter: 8-Film Collection 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

This 16-disc set ships in a pair of extra-thick keepcases (separated by format) with multiple hinges for easy access and scratch-free storage. Both keepcases sit inside a handsome outer slipcase with attractive design elements and metallic highlights. Similar to the stand-alone releases, there are no digital copies tucked inside.

Speaking of which: in what proves to be the Achilles' heel of this collection, no extras are included either. Both the UHDs and Blu-rays contain the movies only and not the bonus Blu-rays offered with earlier stand-alone releases linked earlier in this review. Warner Bros.' long-standing habit of doing this (which even holds true for the much more recent Middle Earth Ultimate Collector's Edition) makes any notion of a future all-inclusive set loaded with legacy extras pretty unlikely, but I'd love to be proven wrong. That said, this collection is currently -- and frequently -- priced very fairly for an eight-film collection presented on two separate formats, so it's not exactly a deal-breaker.

Harry Potter: 8-Film Collection 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

The eight Harry Potter films -- as separately directed by the likes of Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell, and David Yates -- aren't quite as universally recognized or embraced as the original books by J. K. Rowling, but these were largely accepted as very capable adaptations crafted during a fantasy-rich decade that also brought us the Lord of the Rings trilogy and other genre standouts. Like the books, they're best enjoyed as a whole and this 4K/Blu-ray boxed set from Warner Bros. (which has been out for quite some time but won't be replaced anytime soon, if ever) makes it easy by offering all eight on both formats in one handy package. The only catches are that some of the included Blu-rays are a bit dated and all of the legacy extras (some tied to later Special Edition releases) aren't included. With those caveats in mind, this collection still comes firmly Recommended to fans and first-timers alike.
