It seems Warner Brothers are discontinuing the current four Harry Potter DVDs, with no news on their return. However, it seems there may be high-definition versions available to coincide with the release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in July.

So, if you don't have any or all of the Harry Potter DVDs yet, get them now before they disappear, or retailers put the prices up as they become harder to get.

As previously reported, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire had been nominated for two awards at the Children's BAFTAs. Out of the two, it won the online vote for favourite film of the year.

You can read the full list on the BAFTA's web site.

Spanish filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro tells of his regret at turning down Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. In the film magazine Empire he said that he turned down the chance to direct the Harry Potter film in favour of the sequel to the vampire film Blade II, as he thought it would be more fun to make.

However, he hasn't given up hope of filming one of the last two installments. "Its not out of principle that I turned down Potter. Maybe it looks that way from the outside, but from the inside that's what I felt I wanted to do. I stand by the fact that I was very attracted to the chance to make creepy looking vampires for many years."

Still more rumours have been floating around about the director for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, this time for David Yates. While he appears to be the current favourite, WB has confirmed that as yet, he is not.
