Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 made an astounding $169.1 million this past weekend (July 15-17, 2011). This breaks The Dark Knight‘s previous record of $158.4 million! It’s hard to imagine what could possibly top this movie in coming years. Winnie the Pooh opened in the #6 spot with $7.8 million. Nothing else opened in the top ten this week.

Although the Ed Sullivan Theater was vandalized this morning, taping for tonight’s The Late Show with David Letterman goes on as planned and Harry Potter actress Emma Watson will work her magic on the studio audience today.

Emma, 21, wore a silver sparkle one shoulder dress with navy and black silk trim from Balmain for the taping.

Earlier in the day, Watson chatted with Today show hosts wearing a Prada shift dress accented by a Peter Pan collar.

Watson will sit in the chair for a quick interview with Letterman before changing and heading to the NY premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II tonight.

Wonder what she will choose for the red carpet tonight?

Here’s the final series of character poster for the upcoming finale, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

It’s bittersweet, but fully exhaustive. I don’t think they could possibly release any more posters for this movie, with these four posters the total has reached twenty-eight. Yes, twenty-eight posters for one movie. I think the advertising department has more than done their job on this one. Only a week left before this epic conclusion, are you excited?

Daniel Radcliffe walks the red carpet in Trafalgar Square for the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II today in London.

The actor chose a custom three piece Simon Spurr suit in a light gray for the event.

Radcliffe, who was in New York City performing in the Broadway hit How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying just yesterday, revealed his struggle with alcohol while filming this last HP installment.

“I became so reliant on [alcohol] to enjoy stuff,” the 21 year-old actor said.

“I really got away with that because there were many instances when a paparazzi shot like that could have been taken.”

Daniel says he now realizes “There’s no shame in enjoying a quiet life.”

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II opens in the U.S. on July 15th.

The final HP film, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part II premieres in London today at Trafalgar Square with all eyes on Emma Watson‘s red carpet choice and she does not disappoint.

Watson was breathtaking in a sleeveless gown with embroidered bodice and layers of tulle for the skirt from Oscar de la Renta. What a fantastic gown to wear.

The 21 year-old star covers UK Harper’s Bazaar and told the magazine that fashion is just downright mean in ways.

“It can be savage and cruel, in that it’s prescriptive — you have to look a certain way and fit a certain mould — but also in the way it’s made.”

Watson just wrapped filming on The Perks of Being A Wallflower with Logan Lerman and Nina Dobrev.

Deathly Hallows Part II opens in the U.S. on July 15th.

Emma Watson comes clean about who was her Harry Potter crush and despite everyone linking her through the years to costars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, neither turned the actress’ head.

It turns out, it was none other than Draco Malfoy actor Tom Felton who sent Emma’s pre-teenage heart racing.

Watson, 21, tells Seventeen magazine that her and Felton are still close and they can share a laugh about the whole thing.

“For the first two movies, I had a huge crush on Tom Felton,” Emma tells the magazine. “He was my first crush. He totally knows. We talked about it – we still laugh about it. We are really good friends now, and that’s cool.”

Having a crush on someone you know is something Emma gets, but fantasizing about someone you’ve never met is something she can’t fathom.

“I’ve never understood having crushes on people who you don’t know in real life. I only crush on people I meet. I mean, I can appreciate that someone is good-looking, obviously, but I don’t intend to fantasize about people I don’t know!”

Catch Emma on the cover of Seventeen on sale July 5th.

JK Rowling still has some magic in her.

The author revealed today that the Pottermore website will offer digital e-book versions of the Harry Potter story and an interactive online destination for today’s digital generation.

The site will also offer exclusive content that Rowling has written for the web that fans will now get to read. The press release does not mention new characters or places but does say it’s “extensive new material.”

Rowling’s Pottermore isn’t offering a new book and she says that she is satisfied with Harry Potter’s seven books.

I do have closure with Harry,” she said. “I have no plans to write another novel. I’m pretty sure I’m done on the novel front, but it was fun while it lasted.”That doesn’t mean she’s finished with Potter entirely, though. “Will there ever be an encyclopedia? Possibly,” she said. “If ever I do do a printed encyclopedia, I would like for all the proceeds to go to charity.”

The site doesn’t open until October, but a lucky few will get to try it out starting July 31st by entering their email address on the site.
