Oh great. Not only am I putting up with the fact that I’m slowing getting pulled into the Harry Potter world AND I’m addicted to the LEGO video games, but now there is a LEGO Harry Potter game. Good thing it doesn’t come out until 2010, because I would probably stop working, sleeping, and showering until I was done if it came out sooner.

The game will cover the first four books and movies, which I think will work out a lot better than the LEGO Indiana Jones games, which was three films in one game, followed by a new film plus the three last ones again. Yeah, 1-4 sounds a lot less confusing.

You can check out the official site to see a cool behind the scenes video of some broom-flying action, as well as download wallpapers and such.

Previously I told you about how I have recently become a Harry Potter geek, thanks to the Ultimate Edition Blu-rays. Much of what I said about the Sorcerer’s Stone is true for the second film’s box set. It’s just as great.

This time around Harry and the gang are a little older, and have to deal with magic a little darker than in the first film. I was watching this for the first time, and I really enjoyed it. On this set, the Creating the World of Harry Potter documentary series continues with Part 2: Characters. Mrs. SMC and I were a little surprised when the documentary went beyond the second film and started talking about characters we hadn’t seen yet. But, I think it’s smart for them to structure the documentaries like that, because when all eight are released it will make for one massive feature.

Hello, my name is Tommy, and I’m a Harry Potter geek. I wasn’t before last week, in fact I had only seen one Harry Potter film in the theater, and I was about 16 years old at the time. I was more of a Lord of the Rings guy.

Well, when the Half-blood Prince was released this summer, I realized that there was a ton of Potter movies now, and that it might be fun to get into it, even if it was a little late. Then Warner Bros. sends me a huge Ultimate Edition Blu-ray, and I’m hooked.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Ultimate Edition Blu-ray is a massive box set (the largest on my Blu-ray shelf) that contains everything you see above. I like how they’re going about this Ultimate Edition series. Each set will have a documentary that will cover a different aspect of the whole Harry Potter saga. When all the films are released in Ultimate Editions, that will add up to over eight hours, and this is a much better put together documentary than what you’d find on a normal DVD or Blu-ray.
