I LOVE Harry Potter! and yes the last Harry Potter book is the fastest selling book on record- 11!.5 million copies were sold in the first twenty four hours!. The record before this book came out was held by the sixth harry potter book, which sold nine million copies in the first day!. the fifth book sold 5 million copies on the first day, and the fourth book sold about 4 and a half million books the first day!. Hope that helped!Www@QuestionHome@Com

TRUE! But, sometimes Wikipedia is ill-informed, and your best bet would be to visit Arthur A!. Levine's website, or The Leaky Cauldron to find out if Wikipedia is correct!.!.!.!.

No offense to the person who answered from Wikipedia, though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
