More on Harry Potter’s fifth anniversary, from The Scotsman. (Thanks to Maria for the link.)
Bloomburg.co.uk reports that Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, the U.K. publisher of Harry Potter books, said it expects to meet its own full-year profit forecast as the release of a movie based on the character boosts sales in the second half. … “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” will be published “when it’s delivered,” Chairman Nigel Newton said in an interview. “We don’t need it to meet our targets.”
