LOS ANGELES — Harry Potter has conjured up a record-breaking witching hour. The sixth movie adventure of the teen wizard, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” took in $22.2 million domestically from midnight screenings, distributor Warner Bros. said today. That breaks the record set by another Warner blockbuster, “The Dark Knight,” which grossed $18.5 million from midnight shows last summer.
The seventh and final book in J.K. Rowling’s fantasy series, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” is being split into two parts for the big screen, with the first movie due out in November 2010 and the second in July 2011. The Associated Press
