The new “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” Blu-ray and two-disc special edition DVD (Avialable tomorrow, Dec, 8, 2009) will take you behind-the-scenes for an exclusive look at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

• A first-look at some of the delectable foods and drinks, including Cauldron Cakes, treacle fudge and Butterbeer.
