The bespectacled boy wizard has worked his biggest box-office magic to date. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" grossed $101.4 million in its debut weekend, according to studio estimates released Sunday. <br>
The latest Potter movie led a lineup that helped reverse the Hollywood box-office slump, with the top 12 films raking in $171 million, up 19 percent from the same weekend last year when "National Treasure" was No. 1 with $35.1 million. <br>
"Goblet of Fire" was the fourth-best, three-day opening weekend ever, behind "Spider-Man" at $114.8 million in 2002 and "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" and "Shrek 2," at $108 million apiece.

哈里波特这个戴眼镜的小男巫创造了他迄今为止最大的电影票房奇迹。根据周日的票房统计，《哈里波特与火焰杯》上映第一个周末的票房收入高达1.014亿美元。
最新一集哈里波特电影的演员们再次挽救了低靡的好莱坞票房，上周好莱坞排名前12位的电影票房收入达到1.71亿美元，比去年同期上升了19%。去年这个时候，《国家宝藏》以3510万美元位居票房排行榜首位。
《哈里波特与火焰杯》上映第一个周末前三天的票房收入在所有的电影中排名第四，仅次于2002年的《蜘蛛人》（票房收入为1.148亿美元）、《星战前传III——西斯的复仇》和《史莱克2》，后两部电影的票房收入均为1.08亿美元。
