Harry Potter Wow The Numbers!!!
Ok after various days of the madness it seems the numbers for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows are coming is and it does not stop to amaze me every time a book like this does the numbers that it does.
Bloomsbury PLC, the British publisher of J.K. Rowlings fantasy series, announced Monday that the seventh and final volume sold a record 2.65 million copies in the United Kingdom in the first 24 hours. The previous high was for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which sold 2 million in its first day of release, in 2005.
In the United States, Barnes & Noble, Inc. also reported all-time sales, saying Monday that 1.8 million copies were purchased in the first two days, including 560,000 in the first hour, a rate of more than 150 copies per second. The audiobook is a record breaker, too: 225,000 copies in the first two days, according to Random House Audios Listening Library.
Times like this i ask myself why did momma not make me a writer lol:). In the next couple of days the numbers will keep increasing it will be interesting when all is said and done what the final numbers will be.
