Harry Potter Haggadah Outsells Chelsea Clinton On Amazon

Image by Forward Montage
The Unofficial Hogwarts Haggadah is the top-selling book in Amazon’s Judaism category and has sold almost 5,000 copies in its first two weeks. It’s the 24th-best seller of the site overall.
The book is being sold at a 15% discount on the website, where it’s also outselling Chelsea Clinton’s new book — “She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World” — in children’s books. Clinton, who is married to Marc Mezvinsky, tweeted that she hadn’t yet bought the book, but she would.
Not yet – but we will! https://t.co/qUehPqytOk

Jewish bookstores in the United States and several in Israel are also selling the haggadah.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
