Aunties have noticed the Disney trend of removing DVDs from store shelves so they can take advantage of limited-time re-releases later in time. Well, just in time for the holidays, it appears that Warner Bros. will be using a similar tactic with the Harry Potter film franchise. Call it the final farewell to a series that has thrived in the hearts of Aunties, nieces, and nephews for over a decade.

As of December 29 of this year, Harry Potter films will no longer be shipped to stores. This means that the eighth film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2  and the eight-disc DVD boxed set will have a little over a month on store shelves. The boxed set and the eighth film will be released in stores on November 11.  With this most recent news, Aunties can expect a serious rush to snatch up all of the copies before they leave stores at the end of December.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 will be available for about $17 and the eight-disc box set will be available for about $60.  Both are available at internet retailers like Amazon for pre-order now, so reserve your copy while they are still available, Auntie.  Your nieces and nephews who love Harry Potter will definitely thank you for it.
