Digital Spy report that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has managed to stop the latest movie from Marvel Studios, Captain America: The First Avenger from reaching the #1 spot at the UK box office. Coming in at the top spot for a third consecutive week, the boy wizard's reign was unfortunately not brought to an end by the super soldier.
The site also point out that the £2,981,590 made by Captain America falls well short of THOR and X-Men: First Class which both opened to £5.4 million. Of course, that's hardly surprising as both of them opened up to very little competition, and certainly nothing matching the hugely popular Potter franchise. The last movie in the series took in £4,567,581.
