The Borders bookstore is the second largest national chain in the U.S. They just announced this morning that the first day of sales for the latest Harry Potter book has broken book sale records on a global scale. 1.2 million copies of the book were sold worldwide in just the first day on store shelves. It was the highest in sales for one day in Borders history. The last book in the series sold 850,000 copies in its first day of sales. Fans remain in line ups all over the world to get their hands on a copy of the book. It doesn’t look like it will be dying down any time soon, not until every last fan has been satisfied. They better get their fill while they can, it won’t last long. This is the final book in the Harry Potter series. It has already evoked large expressions of emotion from both readers and the author. Bookstores probably won’t see a shortage of customers any time soon.
