There are some new numbers out today, regarding the sales of the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling. The Bookseller.com reports that world wide sales of the beloved series about the boy wizard have topped the 400 million mark.

As a matter of fact, I bought another hard back copy of SS this year after my cousin (whom I loaned my copy to because she was very sick and needed something to cheer her up and because I love her dearly, I relented, and WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS I THINKING!!!) did not return my first hard back copy.
kudos jo! I own 14 of them 7 in english ans 7 in spanish…. does that include quidditch through the ages and fantastic beasts? in that case I own 16 of them!
I own the seven, plus “fantastic beasts…” and “quidditch…” in English, plus the seven books in French. I haven’t found either quidditch or beasts in French. Have they been translated too?
Harry noticed that Ron's version of events changed subtly with every retelling. At first, he gave what seemed to be the truth... One week later, however, Ron was telling a thrilling tale of kidnap in which he struggled single-handedly against fifty heavil
Wow! That’s great for J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series!
