Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 has become the franchise's most popular - as far as advanced ticket sales are concerned.
The first instalment of the final movie has jumped ahead of 2009’s Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince to become MovieTickets.com's number four advance ticket seller of all-time.
The film trails only The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith - and there are still hours left before the sequel launches at midnight across America on Thursday (18Nov10).
The movie sees Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint return to their roles as Harry, Hermione and Ron as the end of the series begins to draw to a close.
The Harry Potter franchise has grossed in excess of $5.4 billion at the global box office in the last decade but no single movie has broke the $1 billion barrier.
The biggest grossing movie in the series is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone but Deathly Hallows could be the movie to finally join the $1 billion club.
