It would be interesting to know to what extent they were 'saved by Harry Potter'.
For example, would they have made another loss without HP?
What lines were successful, which ones were not?
I would imagine that Bionical was successful too - much as I personally dislike it
The problem with being saved by HP is it might give them a smoke screen to hide behind in terms of declaring
"everything's OK, we increased revenue, we made profit" type statements, wheras it was only the fortunate timing of
someone elses idea that saved their Danish bacon, and all the other mistakes they made are forgotten or swep under the
carpet.
