Harry Potter and the Great Flipping Wodges of Cash

[tzikeh]

Five million copies of Order of the Phoenix were sold in one day (Saturday) in the U.S. That's twice as many as last year's best-selling hardcover novel (Grisham's The Summons) sold in 12 months.

J.K. Rowling makes a 15% royalty rate on the cover price. She made $22.5 million from the U.S. on Saturday alone.
