Pirating the Harry Potter books is not damaging anyone's sales, because there are no digital versions to buy.

While it's true that "every pirated copy does not equate to a lost sale" -- it is NOT true that "pirated copies never result in lost sales".
A person who pirates an ebook could have bought the book (ebook or otherwise).
Of course -- there are those who buy a book and then aquire an ebook to read when an ebook is not legitimately available just because they prefer to read ebooks. I would not consider that piracy.
