 | | Months before the official Russian translation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is released in December, impatient fans can go online to start reading the book two days after its release in the West, the Moscow Times reported Sunday. |
 | | Given that many of the series readers are teenagers, who are also among the most active Internet users, Rosman Publishing House risks losing more than half of its potential profit, a copyright expert said Friday. |
 | | Rosman is now formalizing the purchase of publishing rights and selecting translators for the book ahead of its scheduled release on Dec. 3, said Natalia Dolgova, a spokeswoman for Rosman. |
