Scholastic announced today that 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' sold a record-breaking 11.5 million copies in just 10 days, printing 14 million copies in all!
To date, all seven books in the series have sold a total of 350 million copies worldwide.
Posted below is Scholastic's press release from earlier today: Quote: New York, NY August 2, 2007 - Scholastic, the global publishing, education and media company, announced today that sales of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the blockbuster final volume in J.K. Rowling’s phenomenally successful series, reached a record breaking 11.5 million copies in the U.S. in its first 10 days on sale. This milestone comes on the heels of the previously announced 8.3 million copies sold in the U.S. within the first 24 hours of the book’s release at 12:01am on July 21st.
Scholastic was printing copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows right up to the final hours prior to release and, with pre-orders and reservations climbing at an incredible pace, the Company was able to print enough additional copies to be in position for re-supply following the launch. The additional copies brought the total number of the U.S. edition in print for the seventh book to 14 million.
Currently, Harry Potter titles and the deluxe edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows hold eight spots on the USA Today bestseller list. In the U.S. alone, there are currently 140 million copies of the seven Harry Potter books in print.
Harry Potter books in print in the U.S. by title:
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone - 29 million
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - 24 million
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 20 million
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - 19 million
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - 17 million
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - 17 million
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - 14 million
To date, over 350 million copies of the seven books in the Harry Potter series have been sold worldwide.

I think that the reason it doesn't have the most sold is because a lot of people have recently gotten into HP... now that all the hype/marketing has been out there. So they're buying the earlier ones first. Plus, the other books have had YEARS to sell copies against DH's couple weeks. It's amazing that the amount sold is as close to the others as it is!!
YAY FOR HP! THE BEST SERIES OF ALL TIME!
