Los AngelesĀ  - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is working its magic on the global box office. The latest movie about the boy wizard earned 104 million dollars on its debut Wednesday - 58.18 million dollars in North America and 45.85 million internationally - distributor Warner Bros said.

The US opening day take was the second largest ever for a midweek debut, trailing last month's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with 62 million dollars.

The tally for the sixth film in the Harry Potter series broke a record for the 4.5-billion-dollar franchise. The previous movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, had first-day US receipts of 44.2 million dollars and went on to gross 937 million dollars worldwide.

"Quite simply, we owe this record-breaking opening to the remarkable fans who have stood by us and who stood in line to be among the first to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," Warner Bros President and Chief Operating Officer Alan Horn said in a statement.(dpa)
