| | |  Rowling 37th on Retail Power List
J.K.Rowling has come 37th on a Retail Power List compiled by leading experts in the UK retail sector. Quote: 37 JK Rowling
Author, Harry Potter series
What other single product could persuade thousands of people across the UK to queue up outside stores for midnight openings?
The Harry Potter series has made a millionaire of JK Rowling, but equally it has boosted sales not just for booksellers, but general merchandisers too, with the obligatory spin-off merchandise.
So far Rowling has shifted 270 million books in 62 languages and on July 16 this year she will release the sixth book in the seven-part series, Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince.
WHSmith has drawn up plans for midnight openings at 385 high street stores, compared with just 165 for the previous Potter book in 2003, thanks to the bewitching powers of Rowling.
