Harry Potter Breaks One of Avatar's Worldwide Records

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 crossed the $900 million worldwide mark on Wednesday, its 15th day in release. That made Harry's last stand the fastest movie ever to reach that milestone, breaking Avatar's 18-day record.

On Wednesday, Deathly Hallows Part 2 brought in $24.7 million worldwide ($5.2 million from domestic and $19.5 million from foreign), lifting its total to $906.8 million. It climbed to 19th place on the all-time chart, jumping past Goblet of Fire's $896.9 million final haul.

The first Harry Potter, Sorcerer's Stone, still ranks as the top-grossing with $974.8 million, while only Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Transformers: Dark of the Moon slot higher for 2011 with $1.03 billion and $926.1 million, respectively. Deathly Hallows Part 2 is on course to join the $1 billion club by early next week.

Harry Potter Shatters Box Office Records

How big was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2's opening day?

Record-shattering gigantic.

And, despite the film's tag line, it does not all end here.

Deathly Hallows Part 2 grossed an estimated $92.1 million Friday, Warner Bros. said.

The take was nearly as big as the year's biggest three-day weekend to date, and $20 million bigger than the opening-day record held by the Twilight franchise's New Moon.

Not only did it eclipse the midnight record held by Eclipse, but it was also Hollywood's largest-ever single-day gross, blowing away, among others, New Moon, Eclipse and The Dark Knight.

Speaking of Batman…

The box-office tracking firm Exhibitor Relations today guestimated the final Harry Potter will smash The Dark Knight's three-year-old opening-weekend record with a $175 million Friday-Sunday domestic haul.

So, to recap: Opening-day record; single-day record; opening-weekend record (probably).

That, boys and girls, is called going out on top.

More Harry Potter Books on the Way?

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling confided to Oprah Winfrey on today's show that she won't rule out writing further novels for her hit series.

The billionaire author told Oprah, "I could definitely write an eighth, ninth, tenth. I'm not going to say I won't. I don't think I will … I feel I am done, but you never know."

-No! Bad idea. This is when good things go bad. 7 books is enough. I feel like if she continues to write she'll just ruin it.
