HOLLYWOOD - Harry Potter is shaping up to be the most lucrative movie franchise of all time--eclipsing the profits from Star Wars and all 22 James Bond films combined.

The boy-wizard franchise is forecast to make $10 billion when all seven installments have made it to the big screen, through box office takings and DVD sales.

The Bond films have so far grossed $4.36 billion, while the six Star Wars movies have taken $4.16 billion.
