that's sad...

I was ABOUT to be #1, so everyone please just pretend that I was the first comment. Okay? Okay.

That's depressing. They make it look like the books died or something. Grr, now I'm sad. Long live Harry Potter!!!!!!!!

I want the chest with those books in it! FIRST FOR THE FRST TIME IN MY LIFE. I am such a nerd for even caring about being the first to comment!

I was hit by this hard feeling of depression as soon as I read this.....It really is the beginning of the end.

WOW. it's been on the list for a DECADE?! wow.... and i was hit with post-potter depression all over again after reading this...=[ i agree, LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER! woot =]

that makes me sad, too.... =[

I am Sad. *cry* Top 10?

Ok guys...apparently 4 other people posted comments while I was writing mine. I was ABOUT to be first! Thank you 4 for taking that from me! Lol*** Weasley_Freckles*** We were robbed! The books shall live on

waaaaa!!! well we will make a come back!! =)

End of an Era :(

Harry Potter will never be gone!! Not as long those who remain are loyal to him...

that's only because the whole world already has it:)

well thats depressing.

dang, that is depressing. but tiassa is probably right, everyone has already bought them all, lol.

@weasly_freckles: NO.... u r NOT the first person so im not gonna say your the first person.... Okay? okay. this is kinda sad I LOVE FRED!!!!!!!! why did he have to die?!

@weasly_freckles: NO.... u r NOT the first person so im not gonna say your the first person.... Okay? okay. this is kinda sad I LOVE FRED!!!!!!!! why did he have to die?!

thats not depressing...thats an achievement!!....right?

let's all go out and buy more copies to get it back, lol :(

That is so sad. It's amazing that it was on the best seller's list for 10 years though!

What? That is so sad. I can't believe that it was on there for 10 years. That part is pretty cool, and it should be an achievement.

WHAAAAAT?! ok harry potter is deffinately the BEST BOOK out there...and i'm almost 100 percent sureee it will make it backk on the listt

Just another example of the beginning of the end of a Harry Potter era... *sigh* So sad. At least I was able to grow up living through it all.

Ohmygod, that is SO DEPRESSING. *cries* Soon we will see it closed, The final chapter exposed, It

well. that's a little more than slightly depressing. :/ now i'm sad. sigh.

It really is sad, and i feel like the series *is* beginning to slip away now that all of the books are out but- and no one yell at me- the books have held their place for ten years and its time to make room for the young'uns. This is a tad random, but is anyone else seriously annoyed that the media keeps referring to Twilight as the next Harry Potter? I am a fan of both series', but they are completely different! To compare Twilight and Harry Potter just because they're both fantasty is to compare... the Pearl and Jane Eyre just because they're both classics. :P

May 11th!!!! That's my birthday!

thats so sad :'(

How sad. *cries*. But we've had ten good years, and as long as we still love the books it won't matter what best-seller list they're on. And I get anooyed at the whole Twilight thing, too, lennyseberet.

THIS IS BAAAAAAD. :( Its a bad start; if the books start falling now, imagine in a couple of years... :S

my birthdayy is todayy! yeaaa will anyway... i love the twilight series but i don't think its the new potter ...i mean no book (in my opinion) will ever match up to potter. i dont think this is the end of the harry potter era we still have the movies and the theme park...its still kind of depressing though =[

wow. that's kinda sad. that's really sad. It's like it's really over now.

oooh this is so depressing! But I know that Harry Potter will never slip away. It has made too much of an impact on too many lives. Once the encyclopdia comes out, I think it will be back to the way it should be. and the NYT best seller list will always only be the NYT best seller list. Harry Potter is legendary, and just because it isnt selling as much, doesnt mean its loved any less =)

waaaaa i miss my harry potter!! it'll never die, guys! don't you worry :D

Okay, this is wonderful. I was Already depressed having been in the last track practice of the season and listening to all the seniors make speachs about how well we've done and all that...and I come home and read this. WONDERFUL day. :(

This is so sad but i guess it had to happen at some point. But everyone should go out and buy one of the Harry Potter books again in the next week so that it is up there again.

wow. what a long run!!!! thats very impressive. i would love for them to announce the total # of books sold. that would be impressive as well. HP is for life! it never dies!

I'm surprised that Deathly Hallows isn't still up on the list... but then again, people weren't as patient like the rest of us when it came to waiting for the series to end. A lot of fans gave up reading the series around book 4. I've heard that a lot from people I've talk to. They say stuff like "Yeah, I read up until book 3 or book 4 and just stopped." OR, it could be that every single person already owns them lol. Especially with the earlier books.

...Wow. It's really over. I'm going through withdrawal again. D: The books lived a long, glory-filled reign, but of course they'd quietly disappear from sight at some point... Knowing that doesn't make it any easier to accept this. I'm glad to have been a part of the Potter Generation, and I'm going to read the books to my kids someday. :) They're a fantastic, fantastic series, and they deserve literary immortality. On the Twlight-HP thing... I *love* both series, but HP will always be first in my heart... first because it's better, but second because it's a series I've grown up with and can never get tired of. I think one of the reasons that Twilight has been embraced as it has is that a chunk of mourning Potter fans have been looking for a new series to turn to.

twilight has yet to achieve 1/7 of a 1/7 of what Harry Potter has achieved. Whatever you think of the book you got to admit to that. It's succses is comparably VERY small and only in the USA. It has also won a lot less awards(even if it had less time to do so) and with very good reason. I live outside the USA and it took about 3 years after PS came out for the pottermania to hit here. although it doesnt has as many readers as in other places everyone here heard about it. If you say Twilight here to someone you'll get a blank face. Artemis Fowl is more heard of here then that(and if you knew how many people have heard of that one here you would have known what it means about twilight)

AWWW, SAD! :(

how could they do this! gosh it make me so angry because that means that Harry Potter is one step closer to whats the word, disappearance? of course us devoted fans will read them to our kids and grandkids but i dunno. I still can't grasp that its over. Well Harry Potter will forever be in my heart so it will never die.

this is very sad. fandom lives on though!!!!! Hurry up with the scottish book jo and get back on there!!!!

That is really depressing. :( For the first time in a decade? :( Wow.

At first glance, this could be pretty bumming. But, the fact that we're commenting on it proves that this fandom, and the series' era (as the NYTimes calls it) is far from over! Just because people aren't buying the books at the moment doesn't mean that people don't remember them and aren't interested in them anymore. It just means that everyone has a copy that they will read and treasure, and pass on to their children. So why all the sad faces, guys? 10 years on the bestseller list is a darn good run.

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Bah that ruined my day. Well also the fact that today is the 10th Anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts (Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Snape, Colin.....*sob*). I've already had commermorative services. The books WILL BE BACK, I TELL YOU!!!! Let's all go buy another HP and the Philosophers Stone so that it gets back on :D

I was actually just looking at the USA Today's list of Best Sellers, and I couldn't even find Harry Potter. I mean yeah, it is sad that it's not on there anymore, but that doesn't mean it can't make a comeback. Plus - we all already have all the books anyways, and that is what matters.

WHAT??? BLASPHEMY I SAY! BLASPHEMY!!!! still, 10 years is a pretty long time....

Oh, that's sad. ... but tiassa's comment made me feel better. ^^ It is an achievement afterall, and it doesn't need to be on a book list to live on forever.

Has amazing as a decade is..this is really a sad moment.
