Harry Potter publisher boosted by best-sellers

Harry Potter publisher Bloomsbury today said it was “back on track” after it enjoyed a strong run of best-selling hits.

The group, which issued a profits warning in December, said it had seen one of the most sustained periods of best-sellers between April and June, boosted by hits such as 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' by Khaled Hosseini and export orders for the final Harry Potter book.
