"When young Harry here stepped into Flourish and Blotts this morning to purchase my autobiography, Magical Me — which, incidentally is celebrating its twenty-seventh week atop The Daily Prophet's Bestseller List — he had no idea that he would, in fact, be leaving with my entire collected works — free of charge."
— Gilderoy Lockhart[src]

The Daily Prophet's Bestseller List was a list published by the Daily Prophet denoting the top-selling books of the current week.

History[]

By 1990, The Detective Files of Conebush and Persimmons, a popular collection of detective stories, was featured on this list for three years in a row.[1] Gilderoy Lockhart's autobiography, Magical Me, had spent at least twenty-seven weeks at the number one spot on this list, around the time of Harry Potter and the Weasley family's visit to Diagon Alley in August 1992.[2] In the aftermath of the Second Wizarding War, the travel guide One Hundred Historical Sites from the Second Wizarding War hit number seventeen on this list.[3]

Behind the scenes[]

  • It is unclear whether other best-selling books mentioned in the series, such as Lockhart's mention in the book of an unspecified book sitting six months on a best-sellers' list, are referring to this list or another, as of yet unidentified, bestseller list.
