Woo yeah I got my copy the day it was released, it's sooo brilliant! I have to admit I haven't watched all of the special features yet apart from the cast interviews and deleted scenes...HAS ANYONE SEEN THOSE??? There's one where Harry goes outside when there is the ball, and there is a carriage rocking and you hear a girl giggling...y'know what's happening inside! I so could not believe it! Whoa! ;)

Well once again I must say that I am not surprised. Especially since England has had to wait so long and I am sure the English fans were chomping at the bit, so to speak, to get their copies especially seeing as how the US and other countries have gotten the movie before England. This is especially interesting since the movie is being filmed in the UK.

Wow... that was expected, but what was highest ever? LotR or something... or Revenge of the Sith. I dunno, but Harry Potter has three more chances to be top ever - don't waste it.

Before harry potter and the goblet of fire dvd was flying off the shelves in america, and now it's doing the same in UK? I think this truly shows how great the forth installment of the harry potter series was.

Way to go Goblet of Fire! Three copies every second, that is so many DVD's. I am not surprised though. This was one of the most anticipated DVD's of this year, or at least for me it was. I watched it three times already.

That's great, I loved the film when it came out, and have watched it twice so far on DVD; although I still prefer the Prisoner of Azkaban only because it was the first film that made me read all the books on Harry Potter
