Just a few days ago it seemed that Warner Brothers themselves weren’t sure if Harry Potter would return to store shelves next year, but a video advertisement found on the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 DVD not only promises a 2012 release but provides a photo of a “Limited Edition” box set.

Someone who received an early copy of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 DVD/Blu-ray posted the following photo from an ad on the disc in this Blu-ray.com forum:

As you may remember, Warner Brothers announced that they would cease production of Harry Potter DVDs/Blu-rays on December 29th in order to encourage fans to buy it immediately. This caused lots of outrage, but it seems clear now that they will indeed return in 2012 (our guess is around November 2012, just in time for the holidays)!

Thanks to Harry Potter Forum for the tip.
