'Potter' Passes 'Rings'
by Ray Subers
August 7, 2011

With help from a strong opening in China, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 reached its final major milestone this weekend. On Sunday, it passed The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King to move up to third place on the all-time worldwide (domestic plus foreign) chart with $1.134 billion. It only trails James Cameron's Avatar ($2.78 billion) and Titanic ($1.84 billion) but by insurmountable margins.

Deathly Hallows Part 2 earned an estimated $61.8 million from 61 markets, which included a very roughly-estimated $25.5 million debut in China. That's by-far the biggest Chinese opening ever for a Harry Potter movie. The movie's foreign total reached $791.1 million, and it will move past Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in the next day or two to claim third place on the all-time foreign chart. It should finish with around $900 million overseas, which will push its worldwide total past $1.25 billion.

It's important to note that while overseas ticket price inflation data is tricky to come by, Deathly Hallows Part 2 would obviously not rank third all-time in ticket sales. It's sold fewer tickets than Return of the King, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and many older movies as well.

Love that HP won so many awards- it's about time they beat Twilight! And the thing I found most amusing is that Dan and Emma won best liplock... looks like all the Harry/Hermione shippers came out in full force for that one.

 

[kissmesweet]

Awww well done with the awards. I love this damn cast, so happy to see Daniel, Emma, Tom take the awards. WHERE WAS RUPERT'S? Hooray for them choosing this over Twilight. Yoninahaliza is right - about time! Thank God that some of the kids voting are thinking straight.

Yes!! HP definitely deserves to get the awards over Twilight ("Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend." Stephen King, yay ).

So annoyed I didn't get the early Pottermore entry but I guess I'll just have to wait till October.

 

[Alvedansen]

little interview with JK and you see a few images of what the Wand selections process will be like

 

[sobriquet87]

Looks amazing! I can't wait to get full access.
I wish she would release a paper version of the encyclopedia that I stack on my shelf next to my HP books, but I'm still excited about this.

I wonder what that eye color selection thing (at about 1:23 in the video) will entail?
