Harry Potter made over $1.6 billion in disc:What's next Harry Potter cast

Final film in the mega-grossing series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," shattered box office records last weekend after debuting to north of $478 million worldwide.
But that's just a taste of the spoils to come if the bespectacled wizard's performance on DVD and Blu-ray is any indication.
Thus far, the first seven films in Warner Bros. boy-wizard franchise have banked some $1.63 billion in domestic disc sales, according to new estimates from the media research firm IHS Screen Digest.
That heady number doesn't even count the additional $150 million that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" is still expected to generate on home video in North America. Also, importantly, it doesn't take into account the hundreds of millions of dollars more the series has grossed in foreign home entertainment rentals and sales.
A rep for Matthew Lewis – i.e. Neville Longbottom, a fan favorite in the franchise’s finale — tells EW he’s received various scripts that he’s going to be looking at when he returns from Harry Potter publicity. “He previously did a play, Agatha Christie’s Verdict, for six months in the lead up to the release of Deathly Hallows — Part 2, so he’s not had much chance to have a look at things,” we’re told. (Now’s the time!) Evanna Lynch, who always delights as Luna and has decided to act full-time rather than attend college, is also weighing her options. “Do stay tuned,” her rep tells us. Reasons to love her in the meantime: She visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter on Monday, pictured, while in Orlando for the Harry Potter fan conference LeakyCon. And in an interview published in the Sunday Independent last weekend, she spoke about taking a yoga-teaching course. “I have done yoga since I was about 11, and have always been interested in it, and everyone tells me I have a very calming voice,” she said.
As for James and Oliver Phelps, who play Fred and George Weasley, they’re putting their heads together to develop two television pilots and also doing a bit of documentary writing and production. A rep for the actors tells EW one of the pilots is an animated teen comedy about an alien prep school; the other is a fun, sketch-based educational comedy called Phraseology that is about how phrases like “loose cannon” got started. (Okay, we love that.) The documentaries are about European Rally racing competitions and following young successful entrepreneurs.
