That is soo weird, because here in the US PoA dropped down to #6, and The Notebook beat it in sales already! That' not fair! They are just now showing Mean Girls and the Ladykillers in Britain? Maybe that's why PoA is still #1 in the UK. :sorcerer:

It's more likely because it's more popular over here. Surprisingly, I dont think it's taken that well in America. The films I mean. CoS was known for not doing as well as PS which is why WB did at one stage consider dropping the franchise. But Alfonso saved it.

I mean, in America you have all these huge Hollywood films for it to contend with, but things like Mean Girls dont do that well over here because they're considered chick flicks and as there's a smaller population, not many go see them. Whereas they overly support HP because it's now a part of our heritage.
