Paul added that the imminent release of the final installment of the Harry Potter books, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows certainly helped the interest in the new film.

“It has the effect of creating even more excitement for both properties. It’s a synergistic match made in heaven to have the book and movie come out within a couple weeks of each other.”
