Amazon Reaches One Million “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” pre-orders!
Amazon.com has announced that they have broken the one million pre-order mark for the newest Harry Potter
Amazon has also lowered the cover price from $18.99 to $17.99. This brings the discount to 49 percent. What this also means is that all the people who have pre-ordered the book thus far will be paying the new lower price.
For a historic perspective on this, the sixth book "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", did not reach the one million worldwide mark at Amazon until 174 days after the book was first available for pre-order. It took only 95 days for the seventh book to reach that goal.
Amazon is also offering the "deluxe" version of the book for $39.00 and the audio CD for $47.97.

So… I should probably get around to reading those then huh? At first I was anti Potter because of all the hype surrounding the series but I think I probably would enjoy them. We’ll see…
I was in the same boat as you until the first movie came out.
I was crazy about those book, until number 5 absolutely bored me to tears. I feel an obligation to finish the series though…I guess it will require less effort than finishing the LOTR trilogy.
It’s crazy how successful Harry Potter has been…I (Gregg) haven’t actually read a single Harry Potter book…I’ve seen the first 3 movies though aha
