Goblet of Fire DVD sets world record
Jenna from DanRadcliffe.com has informed us that the Goblet of Fire DVD has placed in the Guinness World Records for being the fastest selling DVD ever.

The DVD sold five million copies on release day alone. A certificate to recognize this special honor was presented to Dan Radcliffe on set of Order of the Phoenix last month. Comments from the Potter actor, including a photo, will be in the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records.

That's awesome! Wouldn't it be great if Order of the Phoenix beat that record, and the 7th book beat the record as the fastest selling book?

That's reallllly cool :D.... but why weren't Emma or Rupert there too? That kinda sucks :-( *shurgs*


Posted by Walburga May 11th 2006

It is sad that so many people went and bought the DVD of such a 'well made movie'. Someone actually missed school to get the DVD? How mature. This is exactly what JKR wanted her book to turn into. people missing school. JKR would not be too pleased with such behaviour, thats for sure.

All Aussies, and everyone else who feels sorry for us because of the ridiculously late Australian release date of OOTP, head straight to: http://www.petitiononline.com/62442/petition.html to sign the petition directed at Warner Bros!! Thanks :-)


Posted by Illusions May 11th 2006

'Mazing! Wasn't unexpected. Since it was selling at a rate of 2 per second when it first came out. Got a copy myself too. Wh00t.


Posted by Mini May 11th 2006

Absolutely amazing!!!!! CONGRATS to the cast and crew and of course to everyone who bought the DVD.


Posted by Nikita May 11th 2006

its so cool to think that I/we helped to set a guiness world record, i can't wait to see it in the book, that should help to wipe the smiles off my muggle friends.


Posted by quidditchplayer May 11th 2006

HP in the Guinness Book!! fantastic! I was one of those who bought the DVD the first day, I couldn't wait to see it, and I loved the special features. topitope, I'm not Australian but I signed because I know how it feels when you have to wait so much to watch a movie you are dying to see, so I hope they listen to us and change the release date!...

This is the first time I've actually cared who/what set whichever record (well, that guy recently trying to hold his breath for the longest time in that bubble thing who nearly died was pretty cool, but, this record is way cooler!)
