The same thing is true of the books. A Game of Thrones, when it initially came out in 1996, didnât hit any best-seller list. None at all. A Clash of Kings, the second book, when it came out in 1999, that hit, I think it was the Wall Street Journal list at #13 for a week and then was gone.
1997: First book published. Meet Harry Potter-he is the boy who lived. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (or Sorcerer's Stone for the US market) was published on 30 June 1997 in the UK. The life of wizardry, muggles and Parseltongue was exposed to the world.
