Harry Potter Haggadah Outsells Chelsea Clinton On Amazon

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
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.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.
