And on the very first day it hit the shops, Monday 20 March, six copies were being sold every second.
In total it has now sold 1.4 million copies making it the seventh biggest selling DVD movie of all time according to the Official Charts Company.

The best is yet to come. The movies are going to keep getting bigger budgets, more fans, and therefore better. The actors have steadily improved and impressed us. The stuff is good but the stuff to come is great. I'm not surprised the DVD is doing so well in the UK; it deserves every bit of it.

I always knew Harry had enough magic in him to spellbound the entire world. All I would like to say is " Take a bow Harry, take a bow."

Seventh best-selling DVD? I mean, yay for being in the top ten, saying "seventh" just doesn't sound as cool as "top ten." Just say "top ten."

That's amazing how quickly people are buying GOF. I love the movie-it's my favorite out of the four that have come out so far. I can't wait for OOTP though-I think it will surpass GOF as they seem to get a little better each time...
