‘Harry Potter’ spends third week at UK No. 1

Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 has held on to its place at the top of the UK box office.

The film, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, pulled in £3.7 million on its third weekend on release to hold off competition from 3D animation Megamind and retain first place.

Last week’s runner-up Unstoppable falls to number three, comedy Due Date charts at number four and Gareth Edwards’ low-budget sci-fi Monsters bows at number five.

Elsewhere in the top ten, London Boulevard is the biggest faller as it slips down four spots to number seven. New release The Warrior’s Way, a martial arts-Western starring Geoffrey Rush and Kate Bosworth, is a new entry at number 10.
