Harry Potter = Big Bucks

HARRY POTTER - ROWLING MAKES 36 MILLION IN A DAY: "HARRY POTTER author JK ROWLING has added another $36 million (GBP20 million) to her fortune - only 24 hours after the sixth book of the boy wizard series went on sale.

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE hit the shelves at one minute past midnight on Saturday (16JUL05) to queues of ecstatic fans, and has already sold two million copies by closing time today (17JUL05)."

I once made $36 in one day.

That can be arranged, Cap'n Bob.

I just finished reading HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE. Once Rowling gets things cranked up--around page 300--the pages just fly. Any author who can get millions of kids (of all ages) to READ is worth every dollar she earns.
