It has been
reported that
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is doing better in pre-order figures than the previous book,
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix did, in certain stores. It is expected that HBP will beat its predecessors figures.
Quote:
WH Smith say it's doing better than book five did, and Waterstones say their orders are going extremely well.
Quote:
It took just under three-and-a-half months for OOTP to sell 130,000 pre-ordered copies on Amazon, becoming the company's biggest ever seller.
HBP has sold 100,000 on the site in just over one month, so if sales keep on going, it should crack that record pretty soon!
