Now who doubted that it would get that title of fastest selling DVD in UK? Afterall, it is such a popular movie that it was bound to.
I knew it would do well.I love Goblet of Fire, it's wicked. I'm not sure if it's my favourite though. I kinda like Chamber of Secrets best. But i like them almost all the same really.Go Goblet!

Oh yeah, I got mine not on the day, but still some three days ago or four. It was awesome and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. In the local supermarket the stands displaying GoF are almost empty each time I pass them.

Well I am not much surprised.
Although the movie didn't quite live upto the book I am inclined towards that it was better than the last one.

both me and my sister bought the dvd and we live in the same house. And when i was buying mine, the woman in front was also buying one so i can see how it could have sold that fast. Well done HP

'Goblet of Fire' flies off the shelves in the UK
Sounds exciting.
Just under three copies flew off the shelves every second...
Krikey, I hope no one was hurt.
