Awesome! I guess it helps that the author lives in your country but I really was hoping for more from the U.S. Oh well, I haven't even gotten one yet but I always get everything late.

Wow! It's amazing how many people are purchasing the DVDs and VHSs. Even though we've seen it already, it doesn't mean we won't buy it. I think that many people will be FORCED to buy the Harry Potter series because it is so eminent in the world and once you've bought the first, second and third ones, you won't be able to resist the fourth one.
