Wow, that's frickin' amazing! That's intense! That's sweet! That's astronomical! That's awesome! That's good! That's gladdening! *Laughs* Enough of that, *laughs* I'm just fooling around, I wouldn't be caught dead saying something was astronomical. Well, maybe I would, but it's a word that I might say like twice a year, if I even say it at all. And what's up with gladdening, honestly, who says gladdening! Haha

Wow I heard it was five copies cool. Anyway I got mine on the day it arrived so I guess I see why, the extra features are cool now all I have to do is wait for Richard and Judy to come back with JKR. Woohoo three great things in a year counting in JKR at the Queen's birthday.

And it should be!.. GoF was awesome possum and I thought the extras were pretty wicktacular too.. Better than the other dvds for sure!.. I personally have 2 copies.. the standard one I bought, and the special edition that WB sent to me cause they screwed up with the years 1-4 box set. I even got another special edition copy becaus I faxed them twice, but gave that one to a friend =).

MRS_BRENDON_URIE says:
Yeah i can see why it was a really fantastic flick. It came out in australia today when they said that it was coming out tomorrow i was so excited! I wanted to buy it but i only had 10 dollars with me and my mum had my key card!! *cries* laugh out loud. Well thats all that i can think of to write but i will try and win that comp that is running on sunrise. I really want to win it i would like die if i met daniel radcliffe. If i only win one competition in my entire life i want it to be this one. Well i have kind of gone of the subject but until next time my fellow harry potter lover.
Bye.

Well I bought it as soon as I got out of school, and I can imagine loads of other people did too. I think everyone in the UK was so annoyed it came out 2 weeks later than it did in America, even though it's a Brittish film, they wanted to buy it straight away.
