In its first 24 hours on sale, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the seventh and final installment in the wildly popular series by J.K. Rowling that officially went on sale at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, sold a record 8.3 million copies in the United States, according to Scholastic Inc., the book’s publisher.

I was at my local bookstore on July 21st and was completely amazed at how busy yet incredibly polite/genuinely excited everyone was. I’ve never read a Harry Potter, my poet friend pre-emptively spilled the beans on the latest anyway, but I think I’m more willing to consider that as an option now.
