Geez, that's a lot of books for just the US alone! But's it not really shocking with the HP series being more popular than most people ever imagined.

i cant believe that they have sold more HBP than the whole amount of OOTP in like 8 weeks!
How many have been sold in UK...
IT is much better than OOTP!

Think of how strange it is that some people still haven't read the books! It's weird, although, I only started reading them after the fisrt film came out...but still...that's been a while now

that is a lot of books! and only in the us, and only the english version! think about the other countries and the translated books in other countries.
come to think of it, i think hbp made it to the bestseller list in turkey. it's like the fifth or something, but it is the only foreign book in all those turkish books! that is such a great success!
