~*~ Harry Potter DVD's In Full Screen Or Wide Screen Format ? ~*~

[Severina Amadenna Salem-Snape]

Just adding my 2 sickles - I prefer the letterbox/widescreen format. 

Most DVD players also have a zoom feature, which I have used to get 
closer to specific scenes. If you watch the movies in the dark, the 
black bars often fade into the background for a more cinematic 
effect. 

Just something else to consider. You could always wait for the deluxe 
box set, when all 7 book-to-film adaptations will be included, along 
with special directors cuts (ok the way Potter fans want the movies 
to be) and so many extras it will take a year just to get through 
them once. 

Oh, separate note - I am looking at making my own POA board game, 
based on the Marauder's map - any suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated!
