Potter didn't boost sales

7 May 2002, 1:05 AM

According to this article in the Observer, the Harry Potter books didn't boost sales of other kids' books after all. "In spite of the success of J.K. Rowling's best-selling books, children are reading less, according to a new survey." Also, last year 64% of Potter books were bought for people 15 and up.
