[HPFGU-Movie] All 'Potter' DVDs to be shelved by 2007

[Jennifer P]

The same info is found on amazon.com's pages for the movies. They will
be selling the discs only as long as they have stock left....after
that, it's over.

Wouldn't be surprised if a box set of all of them comes out either
soon, or after all 7 have been made. Probably some special editions
too.
