If I could find a way to pay for seven tickets to the last Harry Potter movie, my kids would think I was the coolest dad.
Hmmm.... gotta work on that one. Before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in movie form, there were the books. And before Rowling was the writing success all writers dream of following, there was the unknown writer trying to get her first book published.
W-a-a-a-a-a-a-y back when, Rowling received approximately $2,400 in an advance from her publisher for the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, according to a list of Potter-related stats on an Entrepreneur blog posting by Jason Fell.
The rest, as they say, is history.
That kind of an advance would be enough to make me happy. Well, a couple hundred bucks would make me (er... my kids) happy because I could take them to the movies.
Back to work.
