Warner Home Video’s Harry Potter: Years 1-5 Limited Edition Gift Set won
an award at the 65th Annual National Paperboard Packaging Competition. The winning packaging featured a round-cornered trunk and custom-made antiqued hinges and hardware fasteners made to match those seen on the trunk from the films.

I have to agree- that packaging is truly remarkable, even for Harry Potter movies. Bravo to the designers. Any family will be proud to store that in their living room.

I saw this on amazon.com, but one reviewer said that the cardboard was a bit flimsy.
I would wait to buy a full set of movies 1 - 7, just that 1 - 5 is a bit counter intuitive (like buying a 1 - 6 book boxset, what's the point?)
But, congratulations marketing team!

That would be something to invest in if it comes out for the whole series of seven books.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

My friend bought hers from Amazon and had it shipped here to Australia as we can't buy it here - and it's totally beautiful! The attention to detail is fabulous, so this is a very well-deserved accolade.

Nice packaging, but I'll wait for a complete edition to invest in a collector set. I find partial releases rather irrelevant.

I have it and I think it's great and deserves an award. I can't say the same for the years 1-7 book packaging which I disliked.

That's awesome! But I still don't understand why they make these packages, when you can wait until the finaly movie comes out, and get them ALL in this!

My guess these will go away for the last films. Who would want to invest, unless you did not have them already. I will probably buy the whole series when it is done.

I got this when it came out. I like the outside packaging a lot. But one feature I did not like was the fact that they put the SS and COS movies is short cases that were only CD size rather than the size of normal DVDs.

It won an award? I heard it's made of cheap cardboard, it's very flimsy and it's all plastic... But, the presentation is absolutely beautiful. I wouldn't get it, trsut me, it did not get good ratings on amazon.
I'm waiting for the paperback UK version set comes out, so I have the hardcover US versions, and then the UK paperback versions. I heard that set's coming out in late October.
