| Someone Stole Copy of 5th HP Book Continued.... The judge said he had thought about a jail sentence but didn't use it, because Parfitt admitted he'd done it, was sorry and did it on the spur of the moment. He worked at the printers where the book was being made, and Parfitt said that he found some pages in the car park. He then picked them up, put them in his lunch box and tried to sell them to The Sun newspaper for £25,000 but they told the police. |
| 5th Book #1 in Germany continued... The fifth book in the series, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", was released late last month and instantly became the world's hottest selling work of fiction. German translations of the second, third and fourth Harry Potter novels continue to do well in the country, claiming 20th, 14th and 10th places on this week's list. Der Spiegel's bestseller list is compiled by industry magazine Buchreport, which examines sales data from 200 booksellers in Germany. German fans will have to wait until November 8 to read the fifth book in their own language. But for those who could not wait any longer, Harry fans have launched a non-profit project to translate "The Order of the Phoenix" into German on the website www.harry-auf-deutsch.de. To avoid copyright trouble, participants share their translations of chapters or extracts with other readers via e-mail with the aim of eventually producing a complete advance German version of the novel. |
