I dont buy VHS of anything anymore man. Everything is DVD, and i dont know where you live.. but its already at the stage when VHS's are obsolete. Go with the dvd, you will get your moneys worth that way .. seeing it will last for a looong time if you take care of the disc. Also the harry potter #1 dvd (i think thats the one your talking about) isnt too bad, i do have it. So, i say go with the dvd .
