In May we reported
that the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire DVD held the Guinness World Record for being the fastest selling DVD of all time.
A recent article from their publication on the feat has an interview with Dan who talks about the best part of being in the movies and when asked what he thought about the world record said:
It's amazing. I'm so grateful to everyone for buying it. All I can say is a great big thank you. It's wonderful!
You can see a scan of the article here.

Wow, I didn't know they had records for things like that. That's pretty awesome, considering I haven't bought the movie yet!

He always seems so greatful to his fans and the HP fan's in general. Humility is a great thing to have, especially when you make so much and it would be easy to forget.

Well, I'm not really suprised, and I'm sure most people here aren't either. Harry Potter has broken just about every book/movie record there is in existence (well, they haven't topped the Bible as the most published book yet, but close).
Congrats anyway.

It really is great that GoF set that record. I went and bought it the first weekend it was out, so I guess I'll accept Dan's thanks. ;o) Seriously, is there any word whether he & Emma will be signing on for HBP yet?

It first I didn't notice him with the glasses and I thought is was taken a long time ago, but then I thought about it and realized that, that is what he is going to look like in the next movie which is really surprising and something that I have to get used to for the next movie.

Wow... I'd think that the books would be more likely to hold a record than the movie. Hmm... interesting.

there are a lot of people who should thank the public for buying this stuff. It is good but it is also expensive. Too much greed in this world.

Guiness World Record? How exciting! Might I add that I am extremely, extremely jealous of all of the Harry Potter actors. Of course it has been one of the best things in their lives! They get to act out the most amazing books, get paid, and wave around wands! Did I mention that I'm jealous:)

Yay! I was one of the first to buy it. I bought it the first day it came out. it was almost sold out by the time I came to the store and there were tons of them. it's amazing how many Harry Potter fans there are out there. i mean Guiness World record is a very big record as far as im concerned. Amazing GOF got it!
