For the first time in nearly 10 years, the New York Times best-seller lists do not have any Harry Potter books, the Times Book Review reported on May 11.
“Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” the first in the series, made it onto the bottom of the list on Dec. 27, 1998.
Within a year and a half Harry held the top three spots, and the Book Review decided to start a separate children’s best-seller list.
Once again the Harry Potter books dominated until another list, for series books, was begun to clear up space.

So sad.
