[Released] Harry Potter saga - open matte
sporv, dts x has dts-hdma and dts core embedded in it anyway, it is fully backwards compatible and finally finished watching all of them, I adore them, thank you so much for sharing, noticed a couple of other glitches but they were so miniscule i didnt pay them any heed.

That may be, but if they did a new soundmix, it may still be worth keeping the old one for those who like it more. Just a thought.

FYI, on January 1st every Harry Potter movie was released for free on Amazon Prime (if you have an HBO subscription) and is in open matte!!! I'm currently checking whether 3, 6, 7, 8 are simply cropped.

I've no idea if they are new scans, but they look considerably worse than the Blu-ray from what little I've seen.

Here are some shots from Prisoner of Azkaban, which sadly is just completely cropped. Sad

Amazon vs Blu-ray

Here's a 3-way comparison for Goblet of Fire (which is not entirely Open Matte by the way - it adds a little bit on the top and bottom and cuts off some of the sides; it's also entirely pan and scan for some effects shots).

Blu-ray vs Amazon vs Fundamental Collection

The Amazon open matte versions look far superior to my eye. There is way too much sharpening and grain on the Fundamental Collection in comparison - grain that was never in the original release nor intended by the filmmakers as far as I can tell. And a lot of the detail is lost because of it. Which isn't to take away from the spectacular work that sp0rv did with the material on hand, it's just that we've finally gotten better source material.
