Complaint time. Warner has packed this 2-disc set in a standard snapper case, abandoning the folding cardboard cases of the first two films. How about some consistency? The three sets now look awkward sitting on a shelf.

Regardless, there really isn't a lot here unless you're under 10 years old. Disc one only holds three trailers (one for each film in the series, duh). The rest of the extras are fleshed out on disc 2.

There is a somewhat clunky menu system at work here, so finding what you want may be an issue. It's not as bad as the first "Harry Potter" set, but it's still irritating. Why can't all the games be put in one place and the documentaries in other? Sigh.

"Creating the Vision" is comprised mostly of an interview with the director and J.K. Rowling. There is some behind the scenes footage and various other brief interviews, but the majority of this 12-minute piece goes to the main participants. Five deleted scenes are included, though there is no commentary as to why there were cut. "Head to Shrunken Head" is a collection of seven interviews with various cast members. Along the way through these surprisingly insightful Q & A sessions, Shrunken Head gets in a few words of his own to keep the kids entertained.

"Care of Magical Creatures" is a look at how rough it was to get the animals trained and ready for filming. There is plenty of behind the scenes footage here. "Conjuring the Scene" is a look at some of the various makeup work required for the film. It runs for a little over 15 minutes and has the team discussing how they pulled it off. A short video game trailer is available on this disc too.

The rest of the disc is filled with various little (awful) games and other assorted items for the kids. There are two that can be found somewhat interesting, "A Tour of Lupin's Classroom" and "A Tour of Honey Dukes." These are sort of like the full-motion video game of old, but they let you sort of take part in a scene from the movie. The technology is mildly impressive, but again, it's nothing that will keep you interested for very long unless you are a child. (***)

Here's to a long series, though one can only hope these DVD releases are more carefully planned out. It's fine to have stuff on them for the target audience, but if the movies are fun for adults, then the discs should be too. These are fascinating movies and ones that should have plenty of extras, not just cheaply produced DVD games.
