What's great about it: It's Harry Potter
What's not so great: 3D effects
Not sure if all have had this issue or not, but in scene 12 (maybe wrong in the number, but when the enchantments have fallen to buy Harry time and the Voldermort army is rushing down the hill) the 3D glitches as if the disc was scratched. Hardly the case, the Blu-Ray player is brand spank new as is the TV only a few months old. It is reproduceable every time, so this says me, it is the disc.
Running on an LG Cinema 55" & Panasonic 110 3D player.
The glitch or freeze caused the whole system to time out and restart at the menu screen. Didn't try to move to a scene past, just swapped out the disc for the 2D version to finish the movie.
Thinking back about the movie not lot of 3D effects. I can think of a few, but with spell casting I expected more. If memory serves correctly, I don't think this film was shot for 3D, but added it in later for the flare of 3D.
My 2 cents and experience.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I apologize for bad spelling but i posted from a smartphone and the browser will not let me scroll down to edit the text at the bottom. Either way i would be curious to know if others have problems with the 3D for these two films. So far I k ow that all films I have watched in theatre I cannot watch entirely without removing my glasses prior to Rio and Ice Age at home I have had no problems watching a 2 hour movie. For comparison I have watched thus far on my new 55" LG Cinema 3D Coraline and The Clash of the Titans. Both of which have stunning 3D. Titans was great in theatre but even better at home. This movie I was hoping for the same but unfortunately the 3D version is just too juddery. At this point I know it is not the TV as I bought Ice Age 3D and it does the same, which leads mento believe it is the 20 Century/Blue Sky Studio that is having the problems or just that both of these movies have so much color and a lot of unnatural white that renders the 3D juddery.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Does it come with a built in speakers?

Yes, but I could not get them to work attached to my ASUS laptop. Not the first time for a monitor with built-in speakers. These are typically pretty minimal quality, so don't think it would be like a TV setup.

True wireless noise cancelling Beats Fit Pro with comfortable, secure-fit wingtips are engineered for all-day activity. The flexible wingtip design conforms to your ear to comfortably lock in place so you can experience powerful, balanced sound during your work day or your workouts. With two distinct listening modes, you are in control of what you hear. Fully adaptive Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) uses real-time audio calibration to continuously pinpoint external sounds and optimize sound output, and when you need to be aware of your surroundings, easily switch to Transparency mode. Beats Fit Pro supports Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for immersive music, movies, and games.¹ These earbuds are powered by the Apple H1 chip. The result — instant one-touch pairing², Automatic Switching³, Audio Sharing⁵, and hands-free “Hey Siri”⁴ for Apple devices. For Android users, easily connect via Class 1 Bluetooth® right out of the box. With the Beats app for Android¹¹, you’ll get enhanced features like one-touch pairing, customized controls, battery levels, firmware updates, and a Fit Test to help you get the best sound and fit out of your earbuds. Each earbud has up to 6 hours of listening time⁶ with 18 additional hours⁷ provided by its matching, pocket-sized charging case to give you up to 24 hours of combined playback.
 

Can you use these to answer calls? Or are they strictly headphones for music? A lot of times when I'm working on a car I can't get to my phone, these would certainly come in handy for that...

Strictly music. buds can change volume only. Cannot turn on/off noise cancellation, transperancy mode, or both off. Nor do they have a command for an assistiant...unless you have voice command on.

Make a smart solution to upgrade your home security to IndoorCam Mini. Never second-guess what you see in clear 2K resolution, and give yourself control with pan and tilt functions to monitor your home’s most vital areas. IndoorCam Mini features On-Device AI Human Detection, a technology that identifies humans in the frame and only sends you the notifications that matter. After returning home, you can turn on Home Privacy Mode, which turns off the camera and rotates it to your preferred privacy angle. Best of all, there’s no monthly fee after your purchase.
 

Can this new Indoor Cam Mini connect to the Eufy HomeBase? I would like for the IndoorDam store data on the base for easy access and control.

Unfortunately, no. I have the Homebase2 and it does not integrate with that storage; the SoloCam series are the same way. It can utilize cloud storage in a subscription, MicroSD card, or if you have a local Network Attached Storage device it can save clips there. Those last two options also allows the device to be able to do continuous recording.

Can this indoor camera be set up in a window to record outdoor activity? I can’t use a doorbell camera due to a porch pillar blocking the view of the mailbox. I am looking for something to capture both the mailbox and the porch steps.

No, the glare off the window would cause issues with it properly recording movement. At night you would also have to disable night vision as the IR sensors would bounce back and distort the image. The placement guide suggests not having anything within 8 inches on both sides and 10 inches above.
