Are the US and UK releases of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix identical or not?
If not then what are the differences?
Thanks

Strange that Japan and the Netherlands (and main Europe?) have gotten the best version of Harry Potter 5.
Just bought a 2-disc version with all extra's in 1080p, costing 20 euro's. Normally our prices are higher than in England.
Slim box too. Might even be worthwhile to import to England (English subtitles, etc).

A link to a Dutch review of the BD-version was already posted elsewhere I believe. The BD-version contains a dozen languages or so, but no IME or internet content.

The Blu-Ray is the same as the US release as it has the threat of a $250,000 fine if you pirate it.
Cheers

Anyways, the extra's on the Dutch HD-DVD edition are in 1080i/1080p.
