A look at some of the DVDs, CDs and books hitting stores this week:
DVDS
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" (PG-13) -- It's the beginning of the end for everyone's favorite boy wizard (Daniel Radcliffe) and his faithful Hogwarts companions Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) as they continue their life-or-death battle against the villainous Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).
Just one other recent theatrical release hits DVD today: "Country Strong" (PG-13), with Gwyneth Paltrow as a self-destructive country star who hits the comeback trail alongside a honky-tonk hunk ("Tron: Legacy's" Garrett Hedlund) and a pageant princess ("Gossip Girl's" Leighton Meester) eager to make good. Turning to movies that never made it to local theaters, "A Summer in Genoa" (R) stars newly minted Oscar-winner Colin Firth as a widower trying to help his two daughters weather their grief during a trip to Italy. Willem Dafoe, meanwhile, headlines the French Cold War thriller "Farewell" (not rated). Leading today's documentary list: the burlesque chronicle "Behind the Burly Q" (not rated) and the high-surf competition "Highwater" (not rated).
Today's TV-to-DVD transfers (all unrated) include "Car 54, Where Are You: The Complete First Season," "Dallas: The Movie Collection," "Dragnet 1970: Season Four" and "H.R. Pufnstuf: The Complete Series."
