Either that or it's just that the so-called premium retailers don't really see that as a smart investment when there are lower hanging fruits. The truth is probably somewhere in between.
Lol and just read amazon customer service said to a AT film-site it will be to 100% 4k. Amazon CS at it finestConfirmed by Warner, no 4K (source steelbookpro):
"Warner France confirms that this Harry Potter steelbook case will not contain 4K blu-ray. It is therefore a visual error on amazon.fr. The price actually seemed too low to be true for 4K! In addition, no steelbook case 4K is planned for the moment."
Surely the HP films would be huge sellers and a great line to start as once people had bought the first couple they'd kinda be stuck in to buying them all!!

I don't wanna be the hope killer here, but again the english title shown on this image is from Amazon
other stores, like Cultura, are showing french titles
so maybe this boxset will be released in the US, as 4K (if so, more than likely more expansive), and Amazon is just using the same image.

And somebody on here has said that Amazon.fr told them that it was an error in the listing. So they must know about it but still haven't removed the 4K pic......I think Amazon will either honor it , or cancel orders later. I would say its wise to lock a pre-order in now.

cases even show the logo on the spine.
I don’t think Amazon will cancel but they probably can’t honor their 4K photo either. It seems France will get BD+BD bonus disc instead of 4K+BD such as Germany and probably some other countries. 4K isn’t mentioned and Fnac and Cultura says it’s BD + BD bonus. I can’t see anything other than Amazon having used the wrong photos.I think Amazon will either honor it , or cancel orders later. I would say its wise to lock a pre-order in now.

I can't see that part happening knowing they have their own steel art... unless they've already gone through the lot and don't feel like ordering more.1) English language print on the display shelf/outer box naturally leading to English language print on the steelbooks

I’m not convinced of that. The steelbooks in the photo where you can make out English titles have the UHD logo on the spine. Obviously this set will not have those steelbooks. Considering these designs have already been used in France with French titles, I can very well picture them just using those in this non-UHD set.1) English language print on the display shelf/outer box naturally leading to English language print on the steelbooks
Thing is that the German one and probably some other countries with 4K, will have the pictured steels with the UHD logo on the spine. This set won’t have the same steelbooks because of the UHD logo. Meaning they’d have to peoduce two sets of the steels with English titles, unless the UHD logo should turn out to be only a sticker.. Now, if this non-UHD set will be released in other countries than France, then I think it will be a new set of steelbooks with English titles and without the UHD logo. But if for some reason this France is the only country getting this set as a non-UHD, then I think they will just use the steelbooks they already have. I do hope they will be in English though, I don’t need 4K yet and this will probably have the 8-part bonus disc instead, and also half the price.c) These same steelbooks have already been announced for Germany (w/ 4K discs as we all know) and are likewise bound to have English language titles . . . and hopefully these same steelbooks will soon be announced for the UK and the US - another reason for uniform English language titles.
Just think if these steelbook sets are to be released internationally . . . each set with domestic titles I think not.
I can't remember a single French SteelBook (that had the title in French) ever getting a re-release with the title in English. Especially using the same artwork.Thing is that the German one and probably some other countries with 4K, will have the pictured steels with the UHD logo on the spine.
