It flew off the shelves in the US, did they really not expect it to do the same elsewhere?
Common sense.

Six copies every second! That's amazing! I wonder how many DVD's were sold in a second over here in the U.S on the first day. Probably double that. Glad to see it's doing well over in the UK.

Oooo...its good to hear that GoF is flying off the shelves, because it would be so sad to hear that they arent selling, but i dont think that it'll be a problem for the harry potter movies...

It's no surprise that Harry Potter is doing so well...I'm elated that it's becoming more popular and more people are starting to accept it. It certainly grows on you and almost becomes an obsessive thing.

Wow! That is amazing! I can't believe that it is doing so well! I must admit, that they only reason why I bought the movie was to see the deleated seens, as I wanted to see why somethings are in it and some arn't. I haven't had the time to watch it, but I will very soon.

Hooray! UK'ers finally get their movie! It's been out for a while here in America, and I brought it to school so we could watch it in one of my classes. There are rednecks in there, and they don't understand it, and when I try to explain it, they go "what?" I love the looks they give me!
