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 cool. Finally Harry Potter takes top movie honors in something! By the time movie 7 rolls out, I'm hoping it can beat Titanic at Box Office sales.

I am not suprised that GoF has done so well as a movie. It was by far the best made of the series, and was well worth buying!

YES!!!!!!!! Harry Potter could kick Shrek's AND Luke Skywalker's butts. How cool! You'd think something like Titanic would win over Harry in most selling DVD, but, i mean, wow!

Well don't hate me, but I've actually been pretty disappointed with all of the movies (except, maybe, for PS)so far. This still doesn't surprise me though.
