Fastest Selling Book Ever: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Everyone is talking about J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter. The seventh and final contribution to the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, has already made history as the fasting selling book of all time, selling “an estimated 8.3 million in the first 24 hours.” In just a couple days it has nearly 700 customer reviews at Amazon.com and nearly 100 reviews at Amazon.co.uk. It currently sits at the number one position in Amazon’s bestseller list, followed by the audio version of the same book.
Discussions about the appropriateness of the series for Christian youth and the existence of Christian themes abound, with loud voices on both sides.
