“Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” Tops the “New York Times” Best Seller List

by Lucy O'Shea · September 26, 1999

J.K. Rowling’s magic has once again cast a spell on the New York Times Best Seller list!

The third book in the series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, has debuted at No. 1 on the best-seller list, just over two weeks after it was published on September 8 in the United States.

The list for the week of September 26 details the biggest-selling books in the US for the week and currently features all three of the Potter books. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is currently sitting in the No. 2 spot, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is holding the No. 3 spot.

Will this Potter domination continue?
