Harry Potter is about to take off again delivering a fresh round of wizardry, adventure and profit for the publishers of this blockbuster childrens' series.
Young readers have been waiting for 2 years for the latest installment from the author, JK Rowling.
This is Volume 6, Harry and the Half Blood Prince.

Nearly 11 million books may sound like an awful lot until you realize that Harry Potter is more than just a story by now, its become an essential ritual in millions of families, including my own.
“My 6 year old is just getting her first taste of the Potter magic...â€
“My 15 year old devoured the first five volumes. He's outgrown Harry - he feels...but is still going to curl up with volume 6.â€
once you've been tied up in the lives of these characters it's quite hard to let them go.
Spellbound children everywhere are counting the days until they can get their hands on Harry and the Half Blood Prince.
