| | |  Potter works magic on Japanese sales
Harry Potter combined with a rising interest in Japanese fiction, has apparently helped to boost overall publishing sales in Japan. Quote:
Brisk demand for the new Harry Potter novel and mounting interest in Japanese fiction offset slumping magazine sales to boost overall publishing sales about 0.7% to 2.24 trillion yen (US$21.6 billion) in 2004, the sector's first growth in eight years, according to data compiled by the Research Institute for Publications.
Quote:
The first edition of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth novel in the series whose Japanese version debuted in September, saw 2.9 million copies printed.
Quote:
In contrast, estimated sales of magazines fell 1.7% to 1.29 trillion yen, declining for the seventh straight year.

That's great! Harry Potter really is a hero! Too bad there will only be 7 books. I'm sure the publishers will be clamoring for more as well. They are too used to the money!!!

Oh wow, that is simply shocking! I was under the impression the HP books hadn't had a big success in Japan. And I assumed that the market for it was very small. Apparently, I was wrong hehe
I have to say -- from all the times I've been wrong, I'm glad this is one of them!
