copies?

The article says "45 million copies sold", but this source http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3014176.stm says "sold more than 150 million copies". That's quite a gap between 45 and 150 million!! An another difference: The article says "translated into 36 languages" and the above-mentioned source says "in 35 languages". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.133.253.104 (talk) 22:32, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of Section Names

The first two sections have no names attributed to them. Perhaps, the first should be called "Synopsis" and the subsequent section "Background". Additionally, the "Contents" do not coincide with how the article is really structured.
