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.

I saw the section in the book with both GoF and HBP in it. That's amazing. The best series in the world deserves success like that!!!

Coolio GOF. I wonder how fast the 7th book is going to sell. I know I bought GOF the day it came out and will prolly do the same with the remaining movies. I have also decided Dan looks better the messier his hair is...kinda shaggy makes it cuter too.

That was really great how the article was setup on the other site. What an experience, being able to learn all about the movie business from a central point of view, by just being there and living it. That in itself is a years worth of schooling. Blessings! Hecate3fold!

And I bought that movie too! I never wanted to read and view Harry Potter until I hadn't another choice, I saw the 2nd movie and immediately I became addicted... that was 4 years ago, since that time I'm really looking forward everything about Harry Potter!

That's very very cool.
I bet the people who worked on the film are happy about that. I'm not surprised really, the DVD did sell very very quickly loads of shops sold out.

Well of course it was...that movie was so highly anticipated, people I thought didn't even like HP were there on opening night.
The DVD was definitely worth the wait, I must say.
