Of course, Rowling gets only a small portion of that.

have you seen her contract? i'll bet she gets more than a 'small portion'

she gets a ton of money for the books, but its not like she is getting the bulk of profit from every sale.

if she got 5% of the sales she would be lucky

Yeah I gotta write a book.

please don't even try.

im weeping for her.

I'm kind of suprised terry pratchetts 'discworld' books didn't make it bigger. Apart from 3 games, no movie from it. And that's all about wizardry too.

At say 20 quid a book that would be more like 5 million an hour

And have you found a place that sells it for £20?
Hell, a shop here was selling it for £4.99

Then you have to figure in distribution, advertising and publisher costs

i think the news done enough of that for her

Interesting fact: My friend's friend works as an editor for Scholastic in NYC. When she's editing the book, they lock her in a safe with an armed guard. No joke.
