"With many countries yet to open, these already outstanding box office numbers are another testament to the universal appeal of J.K. Rowling's stories and the work of everyone behind the 'Harry Potter' films," said Warners prexy of intl. distribution Veronika Kwan-Rubinek.

Well David Yates did say the rain at the UK premiere was a good sign!

Wow, that's really amazing!

YES! GO HP! This achievement is really something to be proud of.

Wow! it is almost unbelieveable the amount of popularity this story has! ;) And we owe all of it to Jo! :glomp:

I am glad that it did so well, I hope it breaks some records! I bet WB is happy, getting exactly what they wanted lol.
