Record print run for final Potter



A record 12 million copies of the final Harry Potter book are to be released in its first US print run.
Publisher Scholastic said July's release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows would be supported by a multi-million dollar marketing drive.
The six previous books about the boy wizard have sold 325m copies worldwide and spawned four hit films to date.
The writer had always planned seven books, each following the characters for one school year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Rowling has revealed that two characters die in the final book, prompting bookmakers to take bets on whether Potter could be one of them. We hope Harry to survive. There are adult wizards too....
