Bless you, as usual, James! Smile. We did indeed try that mysterious button on the remote control, but I suppose since there really wasn't any audiodescription on this particular DVD, the choice didn't show up.
I do think, though, that this whole issue is still really confusing. I understand that this thing is produced in England, but since I also thought Universal was involved and said they were adding audiodescription to their DVD's, it would also stand to reason you could get those in the U.S. In any case, thanks very much indeed for the proper website to find this thing! Take care!

This button, when pressed, will switch between audio languages for every single DVD on the planet, so if the DVD has audio description, that's how you can find it without using the menus. There are no exceptions to this rule. Secondly, as the audio description for the Harry Potter DVD's is produced by a UK company (ITFC), it stands to reason that yes, you can only purchase described copies in the United Kingdom.
