The world knows just how influential the Harry Potter franchise is to modern literature and cinema, but the Harry Potter by the Numbers infographic is a detailed outline of the facts and figures behind the franchise's success. "Much anticipated" is a drastic understatement for this weekend's premiere of the final installment of the series, which has taken the world on a decade-long journey.

With seven movies completed, and the eighth and final chapter underway, the numbers speak volumes about the significant cultural impact of this never-to-be-forgotten franchise.
