Monday, July 23, 2007
Great news for the readers of Harry Potter. This week on July 21, 2007, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released. It is the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series of novels by J. K. Rowling. It was globally released in 93 countries at a minute past midnight (00:01), local time, on 2007-07-20 23:01 UTC. The book has reached at the top spot on both the Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble bestseller lists just a few hours after the date of publication was announced on 1 February 2007. The book was first released in the United States and Canada and then later it was was released for sale within each separate time zone at 00:01 local time, a few hours after other English-speaking countries.I saw some details in wikipedia and found the following interesting facts about the book itself:
The book chronicles the events directly following Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, leading to the long awaited final struggle between Harry Potter and his allies, and the ever-more-powerful and influential Voldemort and his allies, the Death Eaters.
Retailers such as Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and Borders reported that more orders had been placed for this book than for any other in history, and American publisher Scholastic announced an unprecedented initial print run of 12 million copies.
Borders reported that its 1,200 stores worldwide sold 1.2 million copies on the book's first day of sales. This is the highest single day sales of any title in Borders history. In comparison, the sixth book sold 850,000 copies on its first day.
I am sure lots of readers are dying to have the book and read the final version of the series. In the meantime, lots of the readers will be disappointed as the series is going to end from now onwards. But personally, I don't think the writer should stop writing such a great series. Well may be she will stop this series and thinking of creating a much more imaginative story than this one. It's all in her hands and mind now. The readers would surely love to have another book from her or may be another new series of Harry Potter. Well for the time being and till the next book of the writer, J.K. Rowling, this is the final version of Harry Potter.
