Potter book smashes sales records

Parties were held all over the world to celebrate the book's launch
The new Harry Potter book has beaten sales records on both sides of the Atlantic, selling almost nine million copies in its first 24 hours.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince sold 6.9 million copies in the US and more than two million copies in the UK, beating all previous Potter records.

The sixth instalment in JK Rowling series was released worldwide in the early hours of Saturday.

The fifth Potter book sold five million copies in 24 hours in the US in 2003.

British publisher Bloomsbury said UK sales for the current book were 13% higher than first day sales of predecessor, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Movies outsold

Estimates from Nielsen BookScan revealed 2,009,574 copies of Half-Blood Prince had been sold within 24 hours of release.

US sales of the sixth Harry Potter book have generated more than $100m (£57m) in revenue across the weekend - more than the combined box office sales of hit films, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Wedding Crashers.

"When a book beats out movies, we're in great shape," said Scholastic's Lisa Holton.

"This is a cause for celebration, not just for Scholastic, but for book lovers everywhere," she added.

JK Rowling made $36 MILLION in one day with the opening sales according to a headline I read at Drudge this morning. That's a nice chunk of change...

She got my $20, and it was worth every dime! Of course, I got nothing done this weekend other than finishing the damn book. LOL

Now, I have to wait 2 years for the conclusion.

It doesn't seem to have hurt the sales too much

I'll admit it. I'm a Potter fan. I got home Sunday night and my book was here waiting for me. I spent most of last night curled up with it and I can't wait to get finished some work so I can take a reading break.

Well reading the title of this thread I thought it would be about Dravyk's sex life

That being said it's great to see any piece of literature do that well!


and I'm only thought the first 425 pages of the book

since when did you get picky?
It was probably those scenes on M*A*S*H with Col. Sherman Potter in the showers.

It was a good read, no doubt. JKR has been telling a great story, and I am really looking forward to the 7th book. She has said that she is done with the series after book 7, but I hope she continues writing stories in this genre.
