    CORRECTION (because I’m a dummy who can’t read...)
    All the Harry Potter movies were shot on film - that’s my mistake. I read into the 2K DI and didn’t notice the 35mm negative. But only 1 & 2 were mastered at 4K. Review still stands - they look the best of the set in my opinion. My bad! Sorry about that.

      @@Gmen2010champs Because the first two films didn't actually have full DIs to begin with, so they just rescanned the negative at 4K. The others were all done with DIs, so instead of having to rescan, re-edit, recolour, etc, they just used the digital files they had and enhanced what they could.

    I bought this set at Black Friday for 50% discount. To me the picture quality in this 4K set is far superior to the 1080p blu ray. The last 4 movies in particular look especially sharp and clean, much better than the blu rays. But maybe 4K makes more difference on my TV because I have an 85 inch TV. But I am very happy with the purchase and I think this 4K is pretty good.

      Yes, I was going to post the same. I love Jeff but he gets a lot of these small details wrong. The first two were finished to 35mm master positives, and it was those that were scanned in for the 4K releases. The other films, while shot on film, were mastered to 2K digital intermediates, and then upscaled for the 4K release.

    Thank you for the review, but even though the DI for the Harry Potter movies from 3 to 7 part 2 are 2k, they’re all shot on film using the Arricam and the Arriflex 435 and not a single digital camera was use in the making all Harry Potter movies. The first 2 movies were digitally remastered in 4k because they were re-released on IMAX before the first Fantastic Beasts movie came out and since the first two movies was not released on IMAX, they had to remastered in again for the IMAX digital projector.

    Great review, I’m going to stick with my blu rays. The more I get into collecting the more I’m realizing that I really only enjoy 4K movies with older films. For example I just watched Top Gun on 4K and it’s a major upgrade over the blu ray. But with these newer films like Knives Out or Jumanji I just don’t notice that much of a difference. Of course I can tell that it’s a sharper image but 4K just seems to be a much bigger upgrade for films that are older

    My biggest problem with the Harry Potter movies is that they were filmed over a decade when there was a lot of change in the film industry and so the quality of each movie I think varies pretty drastically because we go from 35 mm 5.1 digital surround sound with 4K Dolby Atmos sound over the span of the series.

    I will out myself as a stan of the original two movies. I know that PoA is universally considered to be the series’ magnum opus, but I never cared for the stylistic and tonal departure from original two that it began. Really all I would consider upgrading is the original two, so I’m thrilled to hear that their more old school presentations lend themselves well to the best format available. Thanks for the review!

    Personally, as someone who used to watch all of these movies on blu-ray at least once a year, I can tell you that I always found The Half-Blood Prince to be almost unwatchable on blu. It looked too godamn dark! To the point that I just didn't enjoy it. I don't know if it was a problem with my copy or what, but I remember reading the comments of other consumers who had the same problem with this movie. However, the 4K version of this film looks absolutely MAGNIFICENT! It looks perfect IMO. In general, I'm very happy with the way the entire saga looks on 4K when compared to their blu-ray counterparts.

    Well i already bought the Set prior to this review. While i agree that the first two in the series got the biggest upgrade in terms of resolution, the later movies benefit from the HDR.
    Part 3 (Prisoner of Askaban) is a really dark movie and on Bluray you can tell that there is a lot of dark crush going on. Shadow Detail is almost completely lost.
    The 4k-HDR-version of this movie really helps the image. And spells can burn your eyes so the HDR-Pop-effect is there.
    I would say that the whole collection is worth it.

    @darrenblizzard3851 4 роки тому +5

    One extra thing in my opinion that should be noted on the Harry Potter 4ks compared to the Blu rays is the colour grading seems to be muted down and it's quite dark in many places, almost like they were going for an old world sepia look. It doesn't necessarily look bad but for those used to the Blu rays it might take some getting used to. On the other hand the shadowy blacks are lovely and inky and look great. HDR seems to be prevalent mostly on the magic effects almost as if they are trying to make that stand out from everything else in a very obvious and spectacular way which given the magic main theme of the movies makes sense. @Films At Home not sure if you felt the same about the colour grading and the main focus of the HDR? I would be curious to know if these gradings are what the directors originally intended.

    i just watched the 4K disc of Goblet of Fire and was a tad disappointed by its not exactly 4K-nes. in fact at the very beginning
    when Robert Hardy is opening the Quittich tournament when he's talking to the crowd i didn't see Hardy just a big white rather
    over lit blob. this is not the case with the 1080p blu-ray disc.

      If you have them on blu ray then don’t bother upgrading to 4K disc. Very little difference, but it’s just my opinion.

    Loooots of misinformation on this one. All 8 Harry Potter movies were shot on film. None of them were shot digitally. The only “wizarding world” movies that were shot digitally were the two Fantastic Beast films. Also, all 8 Harry Potter movies received a brand new 4K DI from colorist Peter Doyle himself (the original colorist of all 8 films).

    Most people forget. Most of the 4K movie's also comes with a 4K Digital Copy. Which in my personal opinion isn't the best when it comes to Audio but it's apart of the purchase. I've been judging every 4K purchase based on the digital copy price. Once I see the price of the 4K movie reach close enough to the digital copy price then I buy the 4K version. I can justify my purchase from that point. I've been buying my 4K movie's when there right around $20.00 USD. I've seen most 4K digital copy versions going from $19.99 to $14.99. So when buying 4K UHD Blu-ray, that includes Blu-ray and 4K Digital Copy for $20.00 that's a good deal. Yes you might not ever watch the Blu-ray version but that's when you can judge the 4K UHD to Blu-ray.

    I love your channel and your passion for movies and 4K/HDR and the likes. Please keep doing you! But as some others pointed out, it’s very unfortunate that you get quite a lot of details wrong. I would never post this if it hadn’t happened before but it has happened a couple times before. I’m only trying to be helpful. Use IMDb to look for technical info. Usually their stuff is right. That would tell you that ALL the Harry Potter movies are shot on film. The first two had a 4K scans done, while the rest of the movies are using the 2K intermediates already available.

    • @JeffRauseo

    Ok I’m a digital nut here. Here is what a lot of people don’t ever talk about. I will use capital s right here: IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR EQUIPMENT! This makes all the differences in the world. You can have a crappy 4K player & a crappy 4K T.V. and you won’t really notice a difference between 4K vs Blu-Ray! Also if you’re a sound nut getting the 4K (again if you have the right set up and a high quality Amp THE AMP IS THE KEY) is awesome. With my Onkyo Amp, Klipsch complete surround system with Dolby Atmos speakers OMG it rocks in 4K. So again in a super nut with all this power equipment and let me tell you if you have ALL THE RIGHT SET UPS & REALLY GOOD QUALITY stuff it will rock in this 4K set! So don’t listen to others who say well it’s not really worth (unless you don’t care about the best pic and sound and don’t have the right set up to take advantage of everything) it is sooooo worth it again if you have like I keep hammering all the right stuff! Star Wars in 4K is FRACKING AMAZING! If you have any questions just let me know. I know all about this stuff. It can get so overwhelming with all this upscaling, 35mm ,Naive 4K not Naive blah blah blah etc…. I can help if you have any questions you might have. The most important thing is the RIGHT EQUIPMENT! Bar none!!!!! Enjoy.

      @antiparrot2483 3 роки тому +1

      Cus I think even if it’s a 2k di, you’re still getting a higher bit rate from how much more 4k discs can hold, plus hdr adds a lot and blu rays don’t have those so even when a 4k disc doesn’t offer up that much of an increase in detail 2k di or not, the hdr usually makes it worth it for me or the audio track, in this case the dts:x rocks and I’d say is worth it for that alone if you have the set up.
