Harry Is On A Roll

The Seattle Times reports Retailers conjure up buying frenzy weeks before Harry Potter reappears. They say the independent stores admit they can’t offer the deep discounts that have major retailers preselling hundreds of thousands of copies of the next Harry Potter book online at up to 50 percent off.

While Forbes Says – The new Harry Potter book promises to be a boon for distributors and shippers across the world, but it could turn into a nightmare as they scramble to deliver it to millions of readers on the June 21 launch date. While, Amazon Says presales of the latest Harry Potter novel have reached 500,000, surpassing the fourth book in the series as the biggest-selling new product ever.
