The next Harry Potter book is expected to shatter sales records in the United States when it is released next month, its US publisher has told a newspaper. Publisher Scholastic told the Wall Street Journal it was planning its most extensive ever marketing campaign for the book.
The biggest US bookseller, Barnes and Noble, said the book would be "our largest single seller in the history of the entire company, most definitely".
Scholastic will ship 8.5 million copies of the book to shops in time for its release.

Well, I'll be one of those at Barnes and Nobel's Friday night...they're going to throw a party. I'm actually looking forward to it.
