I'm glad to see that this wasn't just my reaction.sunflower wrote:This might be an unpopular response but I don't think it's good news.
I was a diehard Harry Potter fan. I saw the movies as soon as they came out. I went to bookstores at midnight to get the books. But she was absolutely unwavering that there would only be 7 books...until the end when the dollar signs started disappearing, now there are loopholes to that where she can sneak other books in.
Okay, she'll give $8 million to charity. One single copy has already sold for $4 million.
Single day sales for the last Harry Potter book were in the neighborhood of $150 million. Just on the first day, nevermind remaining sales and movie rights and royalties.
I think she could spare a little more than $8 million. I'm just saying...
I just think she's a little money hungry. Would I be too, if in her position? Maybe. I just think she's milking it now though. Will I buy the book? Probably. But I won't feel good about it!!
