two million books to add to the record-breaking first printing of 12 million copies.
In the U.S. the book sold an estimated 8.3 million copies in the first 24 hours and sales continue to flourish.

Well, as long as I have my copy, I'm not too worried as to how many other copies are out there. Will probably need a new copy in a few months though. I'm pretty rough on books. :P

That's incredible how many more Deathly Hallows copies are being printed, even weeks after the release date. And that is a lot of books.

Wow that is simply so cool. I knew it would sell really fast, but still, it didn't occur to me they would have to print more copies so soon!

Hehe, just one thing to say... What took so long? Haha, the book came out about 16 days before this article was out, and they're just reprinting? Haha, I'm just joking.
That was actually pretty quick. Ahh, I know people who haven't even started it yet. Imagine what worldwide sales of this book will be like after just a year.

That's great news! Even in my little local pharmacy shop, so many people turned up at 12:01 and everyone went crazy like me. I'm just glad to break that record with millions of others on that July 21.
Congratulations to Jo!
Cheers!
