"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire": The whiz kid and his conjuring classmates cope with the usual problems of puberty -- whom to ask to the enchanted school dance, which dragon they'll battle in the big sorcery showdown, whether they'll have their necks wrung by the minions of darkness. The fourth blockbuster in the fantasy series pits Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) against old nemesis Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and casts Hermione and Ron (Emma Watson and Rupert Grint) under the spell of first love. A single-DVD edition has just the movie, while a two-disc set adds a batch of deleted scenes, interviews with Radcliffe, Watson and Grint and a series of featurettes and games centered on Harry's challenges in the Triwizard Tournament: his dragon tussle, underwater adventure and conflict inside a maze. Two-disc set, $30.97; single DVD, $28.98. (Warner Bros.)
"Jarhead": The Persian Gulf War is the setting for this "Full Metal Jacket"-lite exploration of the insanity of combat. Jake Gyllenhaal leads the cast as a Marine sniper slugging his way through the first U.S. war with Iraq, accompanied by his Marine comrade (Peter Sarsgaard) and his sergeant (Jamie Foxx). The film comes as a single DVD or in a two-disc set, each packing deleted scenes with an introduction by director Sam Mendes, who offers commentary for the full movie. Anthony Swofford, whose memoir was the basis for the film, and screenwriter William Broyles Jr. team for a second commentary track. The two-disc set adds featurettes about real Marines who served in the war and video diaries created by cast and crew. Two-disc set, $39.98; single DVD, $29.98. (Universal)
"Just Friends": Ryan Reynolds stars as a once tubby teen, now a trim, successful music exec, whose visit home has him chasing the old high-school girl of his dreams (Amy Smart), jousting with a rival (Chris Klein) and baby-sitting a pop diva (Anna Faris). The DVD has deleted scenes with commentary from director Roger Kumble, screenwriter Adam "Tex" Davis and producer Chris Bender, who team with other crew members for commentary on the full movie. Other extras include nine making-of featurettes and a music video. DVD, $28.98. (New Line)
