iTunes Extras on movies that had them as files

Why won’t iTunes Extras that were files show up with the movie since the upgrades of OS and iOS from movies purchased in 2010 or older?


example. Purchased the entire Harry Potter series when the extras were separate files. That iMac has since died and now on my new laptop, they don’t exist.

All purchases show on my account on the authorized MacBook and iPad, but the older purchases that had iTunes Extras, the movie is there, the extras aren’t. All newer movie purchases have the extras embedded in the purchase. The older ones were separate files. Nice “bot” reply there ManJor, didn’t even read the post fully.
