Amazon have stated the fifth instalment in the Harry Potter series is on course to become the most popular book it has ever sold.
More than 875,000 orders have been placed worldwide on Amazon's websites for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

In the UK alone more than 250,000 orders have been placed ahead of its release on 21 June.

This figure is nearly four times as many pre-orders that were taken for the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth in the series which was published in 2000.

With a month still remaining until its highly anticipated release, Amazon predicts it will become the largest distribution of any single item in e-commerce history.
