“After last year’s spectacular debuts, Harry Potter and Frodo Baggins take on new quests this winter, as do their publishers and booksellers, who must find a way to maintain excitement about the same old titles. Unlike traditional movie sequels that spawn novelizations or new tie-ins, all of the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings books are already deeply established in the marketplace.
