Warner Bros. Tops 2009 Box Office. Thanks To A Boy Named Harry Harry Potter's broom was turbo-charged this year, as the schoolboy wizard's latest film adventure helped Warner Bros. fly well north of $2 billion to repeat atop the annual domestic boxoffice rankings.

I think I may have enjoyed this movie more than the others since this is the first time I have not re-read the whole book right
