Friday, August 26, 2005

The latest issue of The Internet Writing Journal includes a feature about Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. The Harry Potter books have sold 270 million copies in 62 languages worldwide. The sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, sold 6.9 million copies in its first 24 hours of release and is the largest product debut ever on Amazon.com. J.K.
