The moment I walked out of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 last summer, I remember thinking “I can’t wait to own the entire series in one Blu-ray box set.” Warner Bros. quickly obliged with a disappointing barebones release for the 2011 holiday season and then vowed to take the movies off shelves. Why would they do such a thing? Probably to build hype for the set that just popped up on Amazon.

Amazon is now taking orders for the Harry Potter Wizards Collection, a 31-disc box set featuring all eight films in the series and much, much more. Retail price is $499.99 but you can now pre-order for the almost as obscene $349.99. See more of the set, including a video, and read the early specs below.

Here are a few images of the Harry Potter Wizards Collection thanks to Amazon.

And here’s a video from Amazon (via JoBlo).

I want this. Bad. Even if it does support the GOD AWFUL Ultraviolet format. Still, I think I’ll probably wait for a Gold Box deal cause that’s super expensive. What about you?
