Harry Potter One-Ups Edward Cullen

It's going to be an epic battle between wizard and vampire until all the movies are complete. Then, all the nerds can return to their corners with their books and sulk. Until then, the race to see whose movie will do better is still on.

Right now, Potter is in the lead as the newest film installment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, is on track to replace Twilight as the third top-selling advance ticketer in Fandango history. The flick has already surpassed Sex and the City, Iron Man, and the latest box office smash, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

We know that this one is going to be epic, but we also have a feeling that after this Potter film surpasses Twilight, New Moon will come out and kick the crap out of Potter. According to a Fandango survey of more than 3,000 moviegoers planning to see Harry Potter, 45% claim they're also fans of the Twilight saga!

Ah, so the vampires will be stealing some fandom from the wizard team. We think they'll have no problem regaining their title come November.

But in the meantime, enjoy it Potter-heads, we hear it's going to be one hell of a movie. Be sure to take nap before heading to your midnight showings.
