Watch out, ogre, your DVD throne is about to be usurped
Warner Home Video announced Tuesday that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is coming to home video and analysts are already predicting the goodie-laden DVD will supplant Shrek as the best-selling title in the growing format.
Both the DVD and VHS versions will be available May 28.
The videocassette, which retails for $25, will include five minutes of new footage. But it's the DVD set that really looks magical.
Potterphiles will need the Sorting Hat to sort out all the goodies in the just-announced DVD. Retailing for $27, the double-disc set includes such sure-to-spellbind extras as: scenes completed especially for the DVD; an interactive tour of Hogwarts (including stops at the Great Hall, Gryffindor Common Room, the library and classrooms) and Diagon Alley (Gringott's Bank, Ollivanders Wands and Eeylops Owl Emporium); a Quidditch game; bios on all the cast members and the Hogwarts ghosts. The disc also allows viewers to watch Harry in eight different languages.
DVD-ROM extras include a real-time tour of key scenes from the film, an interactive Sorting Hat, electronic trading cards, game demos, personalized owl emails and screensavers.
