The penultimate movie adaptation of J. K. Rowling's blockbuster Harry Potter series is still hanging around the UK box office top ten almost eleven weeks into its run, and with over £52m in the bank its sure to become one of the year's biggest home releases when it arrives on DVD and Blu-ray later this year. To mark the release Warner UK are giving loyal fans the chance to help decide the cover art for the Triple Play Blu-Ray edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; Part 1 via an online poll. You're pretty much limited to a choice between a wide shot and close-up of Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson), but if you'd like to take part then head over to the Harry Potter Facebook page and cast your vote before the poll closes at midnight this Sunday. Of course 2011 is set to be a huge year for Potter fans as the saga draws to a close after a ten year spell that has pulled in almost $6.5b in worldwide receipts. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 hits cinemas for a 3D release on July 15th and must be a strong contender for the highest grossing movie of the year. David Yates continues in the director's chair while the film’s huge ensemble cast includes Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Brendan Gleeson, Richard Griffiths, Ciarán Hinds, John Hurt, Jason Isaacs, Bill Nighy, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall, Imelda Staunton, David Thewlis, Julie Walters and Bonnie Wright, along with returning series regulars Jim Broadbent, Miriam Margolyes, Gary Oldman, Maggie Smith and Emma Thompson.
