The most popular book in the series is the first, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, although Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallowsis the fastest-selling fiction title ever.
According to Bloomsbury, this figure means an average of one in 15 people in the world own aHarry Potterbook.
Harry Potter is a pretty universally appealing story in general, but even more so given the fact it has been translated into 80 languages, including: Breton, Scots, and Ancient Greek.
Pottermore had this to say about the 500 million-book milestone:
"We think it’s fair to say that, 20 years and 500 million books later, Harry Potter still has the power to transport us to a whole new world within its pages. This is exactly why we’ll keep on reading them forever, passing them on for many generations to come."
