Last month we told you that the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire DVD had become the fastest selling DVD ever in the UK. Well now, the DVD holds
the Guinness World Record for being the fastest selling DVD of all time beating out Shrek 2 and Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
In the UK the DVD sold five copies per second and in the US over 5 million copies were sold on the first day of its release.
This achievement will be added to the 2007 issue of The Guinness World Records book which will be released this coming August and will include a picture of the award being presented at Leavesden Studios in April.
HPANA wishes to congratulate everyone involved with the Harry Potter series and for bringing enjoyment to so many fans.

I wonder what the stats were for Australia?
I mean, the reason I ask is because I was the only one lined up outside JBHifi on the day it was released here, and the staff thought I was hilarious....

well i think that is now 3 to the HP name, they also have the fastest selling book that isn't religious (i think!) (but i have seen it in the book) and something else but i can't remember it off the top of my head, but it has somehthing to do with JK herself (something like the most richest author or something similar!)
