With nearly 11 weeks to go till the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Amazon.com announced
this morning that it has taken more than 1 million pre-orders worldwide and that it has lowered the price once again for the book.
In 2005, pre-orders for the sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, didn't reach the 1 million worldwide mark at Amazon until 174 days after the book was first available for pre-order. It took just 95 days to reach that mark for the seventh book. In the U.S. alone, more than 620,000 copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows have already been pre-ordered while the company's site in the U.K. has now surpassed 250,000 pre-orders.
