And the numbers are in. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix outsold any other book—adult or children's—last year. With close to 12.2 million copies sold, that's a million copies more than its closest adult competitor.

But reports of a drop-off in Harry's backlist sales prove true: almost 1.9 million paperbacks were sold—a huge number, but down significantly from 2002. Total Harry Potter sales in 2003 were 3,171,00o copies, compared with 9,500,000 in 2002, when two titles, Chamber of Secrets and Goblet of Fire, were released in paperback for the first time.

Lemony Snicket continues his run: with two new volumes and nine backlist titles on the charts, A Series of Unfortunate Events racked up total sales of 3.8 million in 2003, up from 3.3 million in 2002.

Notable in hardcover frontlist were Christopher Paolini's Eragon, with sales of 864,000 copies; and Madonna's two picture books, The English Roses and Mr. Peabody's Apples, which, combined, sold a total of 1,161,000 copies, according to their publisher.

In hardcover backlist, the movie made from Dr. Seuss's The Cat in the Hat propelled that 1957 classic to the top of the charts, for a total of just about 700,000 copies sold. Other backlist Seuss titles rode the Cat's coattails, combining to sell just under four million copies. That's close to five million Dr. Seuss books sold in 2003, and more than five million if you count the movie tie-ins.

Movie tie-ins dominated the paperback frontlist: four of the top five slots are held by recent films (Pirates of the Caribbean, Finding Nemo and a tie-in edition of Louis Sachar's Holes). That edition of Holes sold more than 766,000 copies, and the existing paperback sold 710,000 copies, for a total of almost 1.5 million last year. All that and a Newbery Award, too.
