Yeah, I totally got mine the first day it hit the shelves. I thought there would be a huge line for it, but there wasn't. However, I'm sure I'll have a line to deal with when Book 7 comes out...that'll be fun.

Honestly, Ronald! says:
TO anyone in the US who preordered the set from Amazon for $49.95, they now have it at $44.96. I emailed them to complain since the preorder price is usually cheaper than the normal price. They refunded me, so if you would like to save $5 more, perhaps try and email them, it was really wrong what they did.

I bought the deluxe edition on the first day. I also saw it in the theaters on the first day it was out here too. It's pretty neat that it's one of the best selling in history, but I can't really say that I'm surprized.

YEA!!!!!!! I got one of those. It feels weird to be a part of such a huge statistic like that. It's just kinda humbling, you know? Knowing that so many people are just as big of freakcs about HP as you are just scares me...

Imagine the kind of money they will make on this DVD! And that's only in North America! I have to wait until April the 3rd to get mine. Hope the wait is worth it.

I really thought it would sell well. I saw it five times in the theatre and it was sold out everytime I went! I have so much respect for the actors and crew. They are very dedicated to their work! Thank You for all your hard work!

And I happen to be one of those 5 million who owns GOF on DVD in this news article. The stores made such big deals out of it. Their ads had GOF stuff ALL OVER. It was great to see businesses in the HP spirit too!
