The cast of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince endured heavy rain Tuesday as they arrived for the opening of the latest Harry Potter movie project.

It won’t be long before dollars, pounds, yen and most other world currencies begin falling on them from the sky.

According to online ticket seller Fandango, advance ticket sales for the new Potter movie represent 61 percent of ticket sales.

A poll of Fandango customers found:

--  85% of respondents have read all seven of the Potter books.

--  84% would be interested in visiting Potter locations from the new film.

--  80% would buy a ticket to a Daniel Radcliffe movie in which he doesn't play Harry Potter.

--  73% are fine with the fact that the last Potter story will be split into two separate movies.

The movie hits United States theaters on July 15.
