Rowling’s Bestselling Books SaltRiver (August 4, 2008) More than any other book of the last fifty years (and perhaps ever), the Harry Potter novels have captured the imagination of children and adults around the world.

When Maizy’s boss at the newspaper decides that she should investigate–and expose–any skeletons in Stee...
