Harry Latino has updated their still album from the OOTP DVD to include menu captures of the second disc (the menu layout is that of the Black family tree), as well as pics of the very fetching Natalia Tena in the "Trailing Tonks" thread (she's having her hair done, even plays the guitar, and we find out that both Alfie Enoch and Matthew Lewis love soccer).

I'm CRAZY excited for this DVD to come out. I'm looking forward to the Special Features!

And someone has posted the deleted scenes from the OOTP on Youtube. See them at this link. They don't improve the quality of the film by much, but they're nice to see regardless (and no, there's no extended Bella/Sirius duel included here).

And top it off, the sneak peeks of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince are pretty substantial. There are two 2-minute sneak peeks (combined they're roughly 4 minutes long), but it gives brief glimpses of scenes being shot (like Harry and Dumbledore in the cave, Harry talking to Mr. Weasley and Harry and Dumbledore in Dumbledore's office), but the sneak peeks focus on the costume design for the new Quidditch uniforms and the production designer talks about creating the orphanage where Tom Riddle grew up in. Check the sneak peek out at this link.

That clip is exciting!

I'm soooo glad that they fixed Dumbledore's look! In the third movie, the tie on his beard was a about 3/4 or less the way down his beard, and it seemed right. Then in GoF, they moved the tie waaay up and it looked like he was being choked. Also, his beard seemed to be a too yellowy at times and often too short. Then in OotP, they took a step in the right direction, but it still wasn't all the way there. But just from those quick clips, I can tell that Dumbledore's look is better than ever! His beard seems very long, tied near the very end, and silvery white like its supposed to be!

One substantial review of the R1 edition of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix have surfaced and confirm the lack of theatrical trailers on the 2-disc edition. In fact, there are only 4 measly extras on the 2-disc:

- Additional scenes (10:26)
- Trailing Tonks (19:26)
- The Hidden Secrets of Harry Potter (43:49)
- Harry Potter and the Magic of Editing

DVD Town (the review is quite complementary of the audiovisual quality of the film itself, I'm hoping that bodes the same for me when I get my copy)

Updated my post with the addition of the DVD review from DVD Town.
