That's amazing how fast the movies sold! I thought GOF is good but my favorite so far has been POA. The Special Features on GOF are great too.

THat's awesome. I'm glad the movie's doing so well. I think it serves as proof that HP has staying power, if that makes sense.

I bought it and watched all the special features this weekend, it was so good. I really liked this movie, still do and will probably watch it all week long.
Didn't really like the challenges though, they were a bit naff and it never works that well using a remote anyway.

I love the DVD! It is, by far, my favorite movie thus far. However, I know that when OoTP comes out, it will blow GoF out of the water...

Whoot. Couldn't have expected anything less from a HP movie, though. I'm so psyched for the next movie, and we're not even "through" with this one!

So MUCH to be proud of in the then and NOW... But More is in the future With JK Rowling to show us HOW.
(Seriously WAY TO GO HARRY POTTER AND ALL OF WHAT MAKES YOU GREAT> (Hermionie, Weaslies, Malfoys, HOGWART Students and Staff.... BUTTTTTTT Especially the lowley House Elves that without them there would be no service... (Or in the case of Order of Phoenix) Interesting Evil CREATURES) )
REMEMBER HOUSE ELVES ARE More then SERVENTS... Some consider them SLAVES. Actually I am prooud to be a FAN of harry Potter and the Univers for which it stands. I know the BEST is still YET to come.
