Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was released in the US on 1st September 1998 and in December made it onto the best-seller list. It was not a well known or anticipated series so in the first hour it probably sold very few, if any.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was not a popular or anticipated books. Records for the first 24 hours are not publicly known but it is unlikely that many copies were sold, if any. Only 200 copies were sent to bookstores throughout the UK.

When the first Harry Potter book was released the series wasn't popular and there weren't many printed. It isn't known how many sold on the first day, but probably not many.

Probably very few, so few and exact number would be hard to determine. The Harry Potter series wasn't as popular then.

An exact figure is unknown because the books weren't very popular then so there wasn't a launch or anything.
