Sixth "Harry Potter" Book Goes On Sale

NEW YORK - JULY 15: Noah Wohlson, age 4, poses in front of huge displays of other books in the Harry Potter series during a Harry Potter block party July 15, 2005 in New York City. J.K. Rowling's sixth installment of her Harry Potter series, " "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." goes on sale at midnight in New York. Appetite for the book was whetted by Rowling's revelation that a major character would meet his or her demise, and the US publisher of the Potter series, Scholastic Inc., responded to the demand with a record-breaking first printing of 10.8 million copies.
