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.

That is so incredible. Now only if we could get the critics to quit their jobs and let some real fans give their opinions instead. To all those people who give out movie awards... You are wrong and GOF should have won more!!!

I should think so! I bought two copies - at two different times before anyone complains about it being the one purchase not the number of items!
Does that make us all record holders then?
Without us it wouldn't have got there!
