How did Harry Potter create a billionaire author and a new direction for American publishing? The J. K. Rowling book series for middle-grade readers quickly became a favorite with older children, teenagers and adults. This wide appeal coupled with savvy new marketing strategies served to demolish U.S. sales records in both children's and adult fiction by the time the fourth book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, was published in 2000.
