Nor does it state what period is covered - considering how long the Potter canon has been on sale, and over a very long period of time, this is a deliberately slewed piece of ad-speak.

Frankly, I'm very sure JKR's total sales are miles ahead on practically any sensible comparison - and I should think that would also apply to total Amazon sales as well.

And I'll be very surprised if Hunger Games is selling anywhere near the Potter sort of numbers in, say, 10 year's time.......
