Harry put 5 movies on each shelf.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is:

So, first Harry bought 2 movies on four different days.

That is, a total of 8 movies.

Then, he bought 3 movies on two other days.

That is, a total of 6 movies.

So, in total Harry bought 14 movies.

Now, he sold 2 sets of 2 movies.
