Which Harry Potter film became the highest-grossing film in J.K. Rowling’s original series?
Answer
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 became the highest-grossing film in J.K. Rowling’s original Harry Potter film series.
Released in 2011, it adapts the second half of Rowling’s final novel. The film begins after Harry, Ron, and Hermione escape from Malfoy Manor and follows their search for the remaining Horcruxes before the Battle of Hogwarts.
It was the eighth and final film in the original series. The movie earned more than $1.3 billion worldwide and became the first Harry Potter film to pass the one-billion-dollar mark during its original theatrical run. Its release concluded the central film adaptation of Rowling’s seven-book story.
This ranking refers to the original Harry Potter series, not every later film set in the wider Wizarding World. The Fantastic Beasts films are related spin-offs with different characters and time periods.
