The Least Successful Potter Imitators Title Card
The "Harry Potter" film series was already the most successful franchise in movie history even before the final installment hit screens. And with "Deathly Hallows - Part 2" already breaking box-office records, it's becoming less and less likely that anything will ever match it's historic achievement. But that's not to say others haven't tried. In the decade since "Potter" first hit screens, a host of other fantasy movies have tried to copy its formula for success. They were based on very popular books, they featured a plucky young hero (or two or three), and they relied heavily on expensive visual effects. And while some made for passable movies, most never launched the sort of multi-film franchise that made "Potter" such a smash.
