| | | Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 highest-grossing film of 2011
While the world celebrates the new year this evening, the final box office tallies can now be announced. Bringing in $381 million in the United States and Canada, and an overall $1.328 billion worldwide - the third highest international box office take of all time - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 was easily the highest-grossing film of 2011.
Deathly Hallows: Part 2 also holds the highest opening-weekend records ever, with both $169 million in the U.S. and Canada, and $314 million in international markets, when released in mid-July 2011. The final installment of the Harry Potter series is the highest-grossing of the saga, and the 13th highest-grossing film ever in the domestic box office with its $381 final take.
While the Harry Potter film series came to a close, fear not fans. There is much more to come in 2012 and beyond, including the opening of the Harry Potter Leavesden Studio tour, the expansion of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando and new park in Hollywood, the international tour of Harry Potter: the Exhibition, the potential opening of Pottermore, and so much more to come. Deathly Hallows: Part 2 DVD and Blu-ray sets are available at the official Warner Bros Shop. |

Yeah, it's hardly surprising, it was a great film. I wonder how much profit they made (I mean, the special effects were very good and were probably very expensive!!!).

Couldn't think of a better way to have ended the series than being the highest grossing film on the year!

Nothing can beat my happiness now. I'm proud to be a Potterhead and this is a great way to end a phenomenon and to begin a New Year. Everyone deserves to celebrate this success
