The book that started a hype that would last over a decade was released in 1997, introducing the character of noble and heroic Harry Potter. When the 11 year old receives an invitation to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he’s barely even aware of his magical powers, but soon discovers a new world, with friends, spells, and one very powerful enemy. With this tale, J.K. Rowling initiated a new era of story-telling and crowns our list of best-selling children’s books of all time.
