'Harry Potter' finale shatters records with $43M!

Everyone out there is going gaga for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," because the Warner Bros. finale bagged a fantastic $43.5 million from midnight screenings, obviously setting a new record by beating the midnight success of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."

It gets better though. "Potter" opened a bit earlier overseas, and the film has already grossed a stunning $82.5 million at the international box office. You think that's crazy? Wait until we finish up the weekend. This dude definitely goes out with a bang.

The "Harry Potter" franchise has been huge for Warner Bros., which is why execs made sure to rock the world with the conclusion of the story. Splitting up the flicks paid off, and good reviews and higher 3D ticket prices will help "Part 2" break more records. Count on it.

First images of Emma Watson in ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’

Emma Watson is set to star in her first film that doesn’t involve a boy with a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. After the final installment of “Harry Potter” comes out this July, Watson will be leaving behind the realm of fantasy to work on “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” based on the beloved book by Stephen Chbosky. 

The story follows a teenage boy, played by Logan Lerman, who befriends a host of outcasts including Watson’s character Samantha. Chbosky both wrote the script while also directing the feature.  If you ask me, it doesn’t sound like he finds any perks in being a wallflower. 

Here's the first set of images captured by Caught On Set. 

New clip from 'Deathly Hallows: Part 2'

In this final flick, Harry, Ron, and Hermione go back to Hogwarts to find and destroy Voldemort's final horcruxes. This eventually leads to the battle we've all been looking forward to. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are back to reprise their roles.

Sure, it may be time for Harry Potter to finally wrap up his adventure, but I must admit I'm a big fan of the films and I'll eventually miss the excitement and anticipation that's been building up before the release of each installment. It's been a wonderful cinematic journey.
