I was disappointed with the extras on the DVD. With the amount of footage with cast & film crew that has been on the internet, I would have expected more to have been included on the DVD.

That is to be expected. *grins* I mean, GoF was a really great movie. I think it followed the story line (I won't say it followed the book, because movie adaptions never do), and it was very action packed and brilliant!

Woo hoo! That's fabulous. It really doesn't surprise me though. There were a lot of people, including me, that were surprised that we got it first here in the US. Not that I'm complaining... ;o) I'm sure there were many in the UK that were chomping at the bit to get it!

I can't believe it just came out in the UK. We've had it here in the US since March 7th. Well, it's small consolation for not being allowed to BE in the movies!

It came out in America first . . . hmm . . . didn't know JK would approve of that, she seems to be in love with the UK . . . maybe that's just for the actors in the movies though . . . but that's cool it's selling

That is crazy how fast the movies are selling. I know I bought mine over in the U.S. the day that it came out. I even watched the movie and all the extras that night as well. I'm so glad that it is selling wonderfully!

I wonder if the U.S. will still be on top of all sales. Probably just simply because of having a larger population it will, but it will be interesting to see the comparisons.

I find it appsoloutely incredible that the movie did so well in the theater and is selling so fast as a DVD yet the awards people did not agree. The critics... what do they know, nothing!
