Los Angeles - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has become the highest-grossing movie of 2011.
The film - which is the eighth final instalment of the movie franchise about the boy wizard - has earned $344.8m domestically and $801.5m internationally since it was released last month.
It is now the third highest-grossing movie off all time, behind Avatar and Titanic.
Very competitive summer
Dan Fellman - president of domestic distribution for Warner Bros, who produced the movie - said: "This is another incredible milestone for the last chapter of this historic film series, and for the Harry Potter franchise as a whole. In a crowded and very competitive summer, it is a tribute to both the film and the people behind it that moviegoers are still turning out to enjoy it - whether for the first time or for a repeat viewing."
Warner Bros. have been thrilled with how all the Harry Potter movies - which stars Daniel Radcliffe as the boy wizard and Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as his magic friends - have performed at the box office and recently gave JK Rowling a 40-diamond bracelet as a thank you present.
The movie studio is so grateful the author allowed them to turn her book series into a film franchise they wanted to show their appreciation so splashed out millions of dollars on the stunning piece of white gold jewellery.
