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'm not suprised at all. Harry Potter is huge and so very, very popular. Whether or not you've read the books, people usually will see the film. Cinema or DVD depending.

This is awesome news! I had a feeling this one might break records. I think it was by far the best film of the series thus far (hopefully it'll be surpassed by the next three and they'll just keep getting better and better). I was a little miffed it went by so quickly but overall this DVD was very deserving of a Guinness record.

Thats so cool that in the UK every second five Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire DVDs were sold, its also amazing that in the USA 5 million copys of HP/GoF were sold on its release date. It's great that a wonderful movie like this holds the Guinness record for being the fastest selling DVD of all time. I love Harry Potter.
