HARRY POTTER PERFORMS MAGIC ON DVD

The DVD charts looked like Potter’s fields last week as all seven Harry Potter movies managed to make the top 20 on Nielsen Videoscan’s First Alert sales chart for the week.

Home Media magazine also pointed out that the No. 2 title on the chart, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader sold only 18.2 percent of the Potter total although it was on the shelves for the entire week. Coming in third was Disney’s animated Tangled, followed by Disney’s Tron: Legacy.
