You do not have to worry about this, because the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD versions will be official studio releases. The HD-DVD version of Goblet of Fire that was released in England is OAR as all of the other Harry Potter films will be. The HD releases on t.v. are controlled by the company that owns the station so they control how the film is piped into your t.v. set. Which alot of times is not the way the director wanted his film presented. An official release in stores will be OAR.
