Geez - 10 million copies printed in just the US and UK, in the first
month! I've also seen articles from India and Japan indicating that
sales there are on a corresponding scale to the population. Libraries
in Germany are stocking copies in English because there is no German
translation yet -- and they're making people read the books IN THE
LIBRARY... no checkouts allowed.

I keep re-reading the books, trying to figure out just what is the magic
ingredient that makes these books so amazing. This is not a fad, like
some muggles like to believe. It's a genuinely compelling story that
allows you to read 700 pages in a day or two without feeling weary,
and actually wishing there was more to read.

I hope JKR is taking very very good care of herself.
