| | |  Bloomsbury had "a challenging year" in 2006
Harry Potter U.K. publisher Bloomsbury had low earnings in 2006 as no Potter book was released. Quote:
Over the year to December 31, the group saw pre-tax profit slide 74 percent to £5.2 million as sales slipped almost a third to £74.8m, from £109.1m the year before when the group published the hardback edition of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Bloomsbury Chairman Nigel Newton said 2006 had been "a challenging year."

Its good that their business will boom up again but it really looks like they rely on HP a lot for their business to pick up. I mean, after DH, wont their business again drop? Well, I suppose DH will be a blast as every one is going to buy it on the same day. | |

So they'll be good once the last book comes out, and after the hype dies...they'll be in a slum again. =/ | |

They'll make up for it in July. But, after they'll probably get lower than 74% unfortunately.

Well at least they'll see a rapid gain when the 7th book comes in July, but those sales wont last forever! Guess they'll have to sign the next big hit book-though nothing will be as good as HP!!
