If by that you mean sold in English in Denmark, it might be true, but I doubt it. I've never heard of it, but then the last Harry Potter book I read was no. 5 in the series. Those who wanted to read it as soon as possible would have bought the English edition.
Books such as Harry Potter and Dan Brown's bestsellers have been translated as quickly as possible - but they can't start translation until it's been officially published in English.
