Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the final film in the successful Warner Bros. boy wizard franchise, conjured up $34 million in advanced tickets, totaling $43.5 million from midnight shows Friday, according to studio estimates.

"Part 2" beat the previous midnight record set last summer by "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," which earned around $30 million for its midnight screenings. It also smashed the midnight opening record for IMAX theaters, making $2 million at 274 theaters with IMAX screens.

With the addition of 3-D, "Part 2" could end the franchise's spellbinding 10-year story with a total weekend debut approaching $150 million, according to Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. That would surpass the $125 million opening last November of the first "Deathly Hallows" installment.
