Final Harry Potter film climbs to third place on the all-time worldwide chart

If it weren’t for that Muggle director James Cameron, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 would now be the highest-grossing movie ever at the worldwide box office. Instead, it’ll have to settle for third. Buoyed by a potent opening in China, Deathly Hallows passed The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King on Sunday to land in third place on the all-time global chart. In 26 days, the final Potter entry has so far conjured an incredible $1.13 billion worldwide. However, it’s highly unlikely that Deathly Hallows will ever reach the James Cameron stratosphere that includes Avatar ($2.78 billion) and Titanic ($1.84 billion).

Harry Potter Undefeated by Twilight

Next Movie asked fans which romance was more epic: Ron and Hermione or Twilight's Edward and Bella?
MuggleNet readers will be pleased to learn that after over 150,000 votes, Ron and Hermione won with 59% of the vote!
From NextMovie's report:

Now the debate can really begin.

Not that there has been any shortage of debate on either side of the aisle so far; ever since we first announced our poll back in July, fans of both "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" have been weighing in with both their comments and their votes, trying to sway internet opinion in favor of their chosen couple.

And for many people, ourselves included, the decision of which couple to vote for was like asking which of your children you love the most; we're head over heels for both "Harry Potter" and "Twilight," which is why we wrote impassioned defenses of both Ron & Hermione and Edward & Bella when the poll started.


So, do you agree with the results?  Warning: If you don't, it may be best not to leave a comment on this post.
