In Russia began to actively buy books about Harry Potter

From January to June 2023, books from the Harry Potter series entered the top 5 bestsellers of the All-Russian Book Rating for the first time. About it write Vedomosti with reference to the All-Russian Book Union.

A set of seven volumes of the main series, released in a case, was in second place in the top - for six months, sales amounted to 38.5 million rubles. In retail, one such set costs 5200-6300 rubles. On the fifth line was the first volume of the series - "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Its sales amounted to 18.3 million rubles. The first place belongs to the book by Olga Primachenko “Tender to yourself. A book about how to value and take care of yourself ”- it was sold in the amount of 73 million rubles.

The growth in demand for the series about the boy who survived is associated with the suspension of the reprinting of books in Russia. In the spring of 2022, JK Rowling announced the termination of cooperation with Russian publishers. LitRes and MyBook removed electronic versions of books from their catalogs back in April, and Makhaon publishing house continues to sell off the remnants of old editions, but cannot print new ones. As a result, many of those who watched movies or read electronic versions of books decided to stock up on "rare" paper editions while they were still available for sale.
