Surprised? Probably not. The Telegraph is reporting today that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 is the top-selling DVD in Britain for 2011.
Not far behind was Deathly Hallows – Part 1.
The top five best-sellers of 2011, which included The Inbetweeners and The King’s Speech, were all British films.
BVA chairman Charlie McAuley said: “In a challenging economic environment it’s really encouraging to see people continuing to spend their hard-earned cash on the best of our films, television, children’s, sport and music and other great video entertainment.
“It’s this sector of the audiovisual business that generates the lion’s share of value which is reinvested in future productions for audiences to enjoy.”
