me and my sister keep saying "come here" in the young petunia (?) voice. It took me ages to work out what it was from

According to the new numbers released by Box Office Mojo, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2' is now No. 3 All-time Worldwide having grossed $1.13 billion worldwide.

It passed 'Toy Story 3' and 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King' to take hold of third place. Only 'Avatar' and 'Titanic' have made more.

:amazed:

Read that yesterday, good to hear, hope it can hold on to the 3rd highest grossing for a good while, it would have to make another $700 million to be no. 2.

Oh god, the Prince's Tale was ruined by those three child actors. They were awful. I would have thought they'd have really pushed for a good one to play young Snape. Seemed like they just stuck a long, black wig on a crew member's nephew and felt that was enough, lol.

:nono:

Everything about that sequence was perfect.

The sequence was almost perfect if it weren't for the awful line delivery of those little kids.

Harry Potter tribute to be shown at the Teen Choice Awards tonight

What time do those awards start?

Would make a thread but i doubt anyone would be interested

Thought it might have got #1 on the highest grossing.. not chance if it's so far off second place.

The #1 spot will have to wait for The Hobbit to be released

Already started like two hours ago I think

Team Potter is #1 trending topic WW :D

Amazing news :D They usually get overlooked at the awards ceremonies so it's great to see them finally pick up a lot of awards, even if it is the Teen Choice awards.

What a shame Rupert didn't get anything.

Gonna have to see it one more time before it goes out the cinemas, it's already on at dodgy times now here

Good to hear! Going to watch it again tomorrow, one of those films that doesn't feel boring with repeat viewings.

Just rewatching Half-Blood Prince and was enjoying it and then realised why I didn't like it the first time. Too much cheesy romance.

And, also, every actor cast as Voldemort/Tom Riddle (bar Ralph Fiennes) is absolutely awful. The actor playing him during the Horcrux reveal scene with Slughorn was terribly hammy and ruined the entire thing.

Just thought I'd share that because it's aggravating, lol.

Yeah Half-Blood Prince felt like an attempt to try and win some of the Twilight audience with all of the romance going on. It's a shame because in the book romance is such a small subplot compared to the bigger one that is Horcruxes, which is barely touched on in the film. But yeah I agree about that scene too, it always makes me cringe and I think even Jim Broadbent as Slughorn played the role too OTT at times.

HBP is my least favourite, to be honest.

this

And WTF at Dumbledore basically asking Harry if he and Hermione are together? I don't remember that in the book. It felt like an obvious attempt at telling the audience "Don't focus on H/H because it isn't happening". lol

Just before he shows him another memory on the much more important Horcruxes plot, how completely random. This is my first proper watch of HBP so I'm finding things that are really winding me up. I didn't like David Yates' directing until DH: Part 1 either.

Can't believe how much I hated his work on 5 and 6 and yet loved 7 and 8. Must be the writer's fault.

Steve Kloves has always been a H/H shipper so that line didn't surprise me in the slighest, if he had his way the canon would have had them ending up together.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on ITV1 tonight at 6.25pm. Think this is the last one they're showing because they can't show Half-Blood Prince yet. Good that it's being shown in a primetime slot though.

Amazon France have put up a listing for the complete Harry Potter film box set. We all knew there would be one and here's what's likely to be the first of many.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

Includes 16 discs (each Potter film and bonus features) and comes with the Elder Wand mounted on top of the box. Set to be released November 30th so looks like Deathly Hallows Part 2 will be out on DVD/Blu-ray in November. :D

Blu-ray.com is reporting that the U.S. DVD and Blu-ray release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 will take place on Friday, November 11, 2011 - incidentally the opening day of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter's big celebration event on the film series in Orlando, Florida.

I hope we get it on the same day and don't have to wait until the following Monday.

there's a petition going round regarding Extended Versions of the films. It probably won't come to anything but the more people who sign, the stronger the chance that they will release them.

Here's why they're wanted:
