Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final adventure in the Harry Potter film series, is a motion picture event, told in two full-length parts. Part 1 begins as Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the horcruxes–the keys to Voldemorts immortality. On their own, without the guidance or protection of their professors, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever. But there are dark forces in their midst that threaten to tear them apart.
Meanwhile, the wizarding world has become a dangerous place for all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared war has begun and Voldemorts Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting anyone who might oppose them. But the one prize they still seek is the one most valuable to Voldemort: Harry Potter. The Chosen One has become the hunted one as Voldemorts followers look for Harry with orders to bring him to the Dark Lord alive.
Harrys only hope is to find the horcruxes before Voldemort finds him. But as he searches for clues, he uncovers an old and almost forgotten tale–the legend of the Deathly Hallows. And if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate power he seeks.
Includes two blu-ray discs, one DVD and a digital copy.

Monsters
Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear and grow. In an effort to stem the destruction that resulted, half of Mexico was quarantined as an infected zone.
Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain the massive creatures… A jaded US journalist (McNairy) begrudgingly agrees to find his boss daughter, a shaken American tourist (Able) and escort her through the infected zone to the safety of the US border.
Monsters is released on Blu-ray (£12.97) andDVD (£9.97).
