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!

Well I'm sure that sure sped up the whole paycheck process for him and his co-stars too. I'm just glad to see that
HP doesn't seem to be a 'passing fad' or anything like that.

I'm curious how many DVDs would have sold if GoF was just another movie ~not based on such popular books, but just released as a movie.

I imagine that he and the others would be thrilled to know that the movies are doing so well especially since they most likely receive royalties of some sort from that? Anyways, it just goes to show how much a movie/characters are loved.

Your welcome Dan!
You've got to admit though is was the best of all the Potter films so far. They improve each time - Can't wait for OotP!

It's not really surprising though. I mean, with the first film nobody really knew what to expect, but with GoF and with the upcoming OotP, fans would come out even if all the critics bombed them as a failure. We just expect something good and we love HP enough to sit through anything.

They deserve more then just the selling of DVD, the star's don't get the credit, WB does.

I guess that it really is something great if you think about it. There are so many fans of the Harry Potter films and books around the world that it really doesn't amaze me that so many people in so many cultures are lured to these wonderful books and films.

He got a certificate. That is so nice of them to give it to him. The movie was great so it needed to set some kind of good record. Now going to have to buy the book of records to see it on there.
