5.0 out of 5 stars Discovering The Real World Of Harry Potter, December 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Discovering the Real World of Harry Potter [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Saw it on PBS. Great program! Lots of information on what was the inspiration of the author. Visits "real world" locations in England that inspired author. Especially liked the real-life boarding school like Hogwart's.

Robert D. Emerson "remerson1953" (Springfield, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Discovering the Real World of Harry Potter (DVD)

This DVD contained a lot of interesting information on real background events contained in the Harry Potter series. The author's childhood home with the cupboard under the stairs. A childhood playmate named Potter. The real N. Flamel. Also includes fun extras.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, November 27, 2004

JMHPTRCN "Harry Potter Fan" (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Discovering the Real World of Harry Potter (DVD)

This is, as advertized, a PBS special about the possible origins of some of the "Harry Potter" mythology. The production values are on a par with that kind of show - a bit interesting.
What I found so very disappointing was the fact that ALL of the "Special Features" were nothing more than the original show cut differently with an extra 30+ seconds of new material thrown in here and there (perhaps a whole 10 minutes more in total?) The extra material looked like deleted scenes from the original.
I would not have purchased this DVD had I known that.

I did like this DVD but do wish it had been close-captioned. Sometimes the Brits are hard to understand, especially when one has hearing problems, even with hearing aids!
