Worldwide orders for the upcoming sixth Harry Potter book have topped one million, according to online retailer Amazon.

With just 19 days to go until the book is released, 500,000 orders for J.K. Rowling’s book about the boy wizard have come from the United States and 200,000 from the UK. It’s possible the book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, could become the best selling novel ever.

The novel topped Amazon’s best sellers list just 24 hours after buyers were made aware they could pre-order the book.

The wizard love is global, with an amazing 265 million copies of the first five books sold in 200 countries worldwide and translated into 62 languages.

The book will be unveiled by Rowling at a ceremony at Edinburgh Castle at midnight on July 16.
