NEW YORK — Barnes & Noble, Inc. announced Monday that pre-orders for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" have topped 750,000 copies, well ahead of the pace of the last Potter book, which came out two years ago.
"The Harry Potter series has shattered all records in publishing history, and the enormous amount of pre-orders to date confirm that the latest Harry Potter title will be the most popular yet," Barnes & Noble CEO Steve Riggio said in a statement. "In fact, we predict that our pre-orders will top one million."
Wow! My daughter's father buys these books for Selah. I haven't read them, yet. Maybe I should crack them open and see what's the fuss about?

LOL, I'm listening to an audiobook of HP #5 even as we speak--just to refresh my memory before #6 comes out.
It's the Dickensian inventiveness of the books that I just love. And though I have a few Christian friends who don't approve of the wizardry, I'm one of those who put it in the _Lord of the Rings_ category...only not quite *that* good.
I think I will read some of it tonight and some of it with Selah. Thanks.
