Despite the highs and lows that the Harry Potter series has taken, despite the different imaginings of different directors, despite all the hype being built up for this one final film and all the critics arguing over which film is the best and why this new film will be this or that; when I hear John Williams subtle yet strong theme seep onto the screen, no matter what anyone has said, or even what I’ve said, I can’t help get chills down my spine. The finale for Harry Potter has been a long time coming, this is a story that we’ve lived with for a decade, with seven films down and only one left to go.
After it all, while watching this latest trailer I can’t help but be filled with the same sense of awe and wonder that I can still recall back in 2001 when I saw the first trailer for the first film. Wow…

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I became one of the highest grossing sequels in the franchise’s history when it earned $125 million last weekend. That’s a lot of love for a film that wasn’t given an extra boost from inflated 3D ticket prices.

The latest installment in the Harry Potter series debuted at number one last weekend earning over $125 million – who’s surprised? This makes Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I (movie review) the second most financially successful film in the franchise (the first being Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in November 2005). But this year’s wizard-boy movie did break one record during its opening night by making $24 million, which was the biggest midnight gross in the series. Also new last week was Russell Crowe‘s The Next Three Days (movie review) but unfortunately it was nowhere near as successful (it’s at No. 5). It looks like another fall for the Crowe.
