The operation to ensure all Harry Potter fans receive their books on the day of release from Amazon.co.uk is a mammoth task. The company has a 200,000 square foot high-security warehouse where the books are kept prior to despatch.
Staff are "carefully hand-picked", according to a spokeswoman, and the company is legally bound by an agreement with publisher Bloomsbury to keep many of the details surrounding the release and despatch of the books a closely guarded secret.
