Hi Tammy!

I'm glad you're still around! 
No, I probably wouldn't buy them, but then again I am only collecting 
the extended sets of LOTR (when I want to see the "extra" extras on 
the theatricals, that's what Netflix is for).

There's extra extra extras on the box set?  That's cool, but I 
wouldn't rebuy the movies again for them.

No, and certainly not for the HP series...I don't think the movies 
are near as enjoyable as the LOTR series.  The only way I would buy 
more out of this franchise would be if they released actual extended 
versions, with cut scenes brought in to the actual movie, but I doubt 
they will.  It is likely cost prohibitive; you have to do the 
effects, have the composer rescore, etc...I don't think they'd sell 
enough to make it worth their while.

Then again, WB's biggest mistake seems to be underestimating the 
loyal (adult) fan base of this series...They've been missing out on a 
lot of merchandising as well.
