I know why they sold five million copies in a day. Because they were selling like three version of it. One is only the movie, the second is the deluxe-which everyone wants, and the last is the fake deluxe- the movie + a game with a behind the scene- to trick people into thinking that they are buying the deluxe version.

Not surprising that it is the fastest selling Potter film so far. Just like the books, more and more people are getting into Harry Potter films as more are released.

That is a phenomenal effort for all the Harry Potter fans in North America...but wait until the figures show for the rest of the world release!

We really did connect with the movie. The loves and the loses.

Cannot wait for the DVD here.

Wow... that is a lot. And to think my mom was shocked when we went for the DVD {the day it came out} and it was sold out in three stores. It's great to know all the Harry Potter fans are getting theirs! And now I'm even more anxious for Order of the Phoenix! XP
