Book Makes Wizarding Bestselling List
Rita Skeeter
As bookstores throughout the world close their doors for the events, one thing is evident, Rita Skeeter's book, The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore, which debuted this morning to record breaking lines and waiting lists, has surpassed sales in some of the most popular novels written in the Wizarding World. It has undoubtedly been viewed as one of the most controversial of titles ever written by Miss Skeeter, but so far the feed back has been positive.
"I never knew so much about the Headmaster," Exclaims one woman, who stood in Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley, not even bothering to place her book down as a crowd waiting in line attempts to peak over her shoulder to get a sneak-peak at the book. "Merlin! This book makes him seem almost human, instead of the pedestal everyone places him on!" The woman, with her brown eyes alight with a fervor then left the store, her newly autographed copy pressed tightly against her chest.
Sale numbers are pouring into the publishing company as this is being written, and the numbers are incredible. The publishers are toasting Rita's success at another bestseller. After the success of her Dippet biography, it's no wonder that this book has been well anticipated. When asked if she has plans for another novel, Rita just smiled with that knowing smile that her beautiful face has.
Rita is planning a book signing tour, starting with Flourish and Blotts for Tuesday and Wednesday. For a full listing of her tour, feel free to owl the Daily Prophet. Miss Skeeter has all ready announced that she will be sending lucky readers an autographed copy of her new book. If you are interested, you are welcome to send your owls to Miss Skeeter directly at the Daily Prophet.
