Harry Potter’s worldwide spell gave it one more new record with its global gross of $475.6 million, giving it the best worldwide opening weekend ever. The previous record holder? Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with $394 million.

These fantastical numbers helped take the Harry Potter series beyond the $2 billion mark, $2.177 billion to be exact. The franchise is well on its way to take the top spot as the highest-grossing franchise in history which currently belongs to Star Wars with $2.218 billion.

Not only did Harry Potter win big at the box office but the film picked up loads of new followers online as well. The Harry Potter Facebook page added over half a million new likes over the weekend while Deathly Hallows Part 2 scored 250,000-plus tweets.
