Postal Service Gears Up For Newest Harry Potter Book
The Royal Mail says it is beginning to devise a strategy for delivering the final Harry Potter book to UK fans. The release date for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows remains a mystery, but the postal service is to meet online retailers next month.
Demand is expected to be as high as last year when 500,000 pre-ordered copies of the sixth book were delivered in the UK. A Royal Mail spokesman said: “This kind of operation takes a lot of planning.”
AÂ Harry Potter book release is one of the busiest times of the year for postal workers, next to Christmas. Already sales of all the Harry Potter books now total more than 300 million worldwide.
