Harry vs. The Knights of Templar

The new Harry Potter book sold more copies in one day than DaVinci Code sold in its entire first year.

Whew. And considering almost everyone I know (minus, of course, the silly book snob brother) has read The DaVinci Code...and that I haven't even bought a copy of Harry Potter yet (but I will, and I'm sure there are more like me out there)...the influence of that series is absolutely mind-boggling.

And WOW JK Rowling is rich these days.
