Nope, because it qualifies as a UK film because it qualifies under the
film tax breaks and one such requirement for that is because a certain
percentage of a film's employees have to be British. This was direct
from the Film Council when I asked them about it.
Oh, and I keep the HP DVDs because I worked on them (in a teeny, weeny,
non-credited capacity - one of many clogs in a great big machine as it
were - and also because I think the work done by my peers on the VFX are
excellent stuff and also because one day I may want to show my daughter
them - if she turns out to like Harry Potter, of course).
