The last four films in the series will be released on March 28 and will

lifelike colors for a home entertainment viewing experience like never
before.
For the complete 4K Ultra HD experience with HDR, a 4K Ultra HD TV with
HDR, an Ultra HD Blu-ray player and a high-speed HDMI cable are required.
All eight Harry Potter films on Ultra HD Blu-ray feature
DTS:X audio, which replicates and conveys the fluid movement of sound to
create a richer experience than previously possible by moving sound to
precisely where the mixer placed it. A hallmark of DTS:X immersive audio
technology is its ability to adapt to the speaker layout to best fit the
individual viewing space by seamlessly transporting sound to and through
specific locations within the viewing environment – in front of, behind,
above and beside the audience.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the
Half-Blood Prince, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, and
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 will be available
