| | |  Bloomsbury confident of future success
Despite the bleak outlook of having no more future Harry Potter titles, Bloomsbury (the British publisher of the Harry Potter series) announces their confidence in surviving the coming years.
The final installment of the Harry Potter books helped boost the publishing company's profit (before tax) up by £12.7 million compared to the previous year. But the publisher is confident that they will continue to reap profits in the future with their new titles such as Khaled Hosseini's bestseller The Kite Runner.

The Kite Runner is SUCH a good book (so's the follow-up novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns). They'll rake in the cash with that book.
LOL. Two words: job security.

Everyone forgets there were books before HP. Maybe they weren't sold on such a huge scale, but the company will do alright without it. I saw The Kite Runner in the cinema a few weeks ago, and really liked it, so the book must be good.

Bloomsburry had the confidence to pick up Harry Potter in the first place - they'll keep on making smart choices.

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

They've still got Jo's HP encyclopedia, which I think will definitely be completed after the whole legal hooplah.
