The best-selling book series of all time.{{when}}
This series of seven children's and young adult novels by [[J. K. Rowling]] exploded onto the world literary scene in the late [[The Nineties|1990s]] and has become a phenomenon unlike anything seen before in publishing. Blending fantasy with the nearly extinct British [[Boarding School]] genre, it made a literary superstar out of its ex-schoolteacher author, and the characters and settings she created have permanently entered popular culture the world over. Needless to say, there is a multimedia franchise revolving around them, consisting of [[Harry Potter (film)|a series of films]], [[Harry Potter (video game)|video games]] and various other merchandising tie-ins, but at the heart of it are the books.
