Bloomsbury Publishing PLC is a British book publisher based in London and best known for the Harry Potter series. In May 2006 Bloomsbury Publishing took over the publishing house Methuen Publishing, which sells around 700 works in order to avoid the expected drop in sales after the end of the Harry Potter series. In December 2014, Osprey Publishing was taken over.
In Germany, the company was represented with a stake in Berlin Verlag until February 2012 . Bloomsbury Publishing has offices in London, Oxford , New York , New Delhi and Sydney .
