London: Harry Potter topped both the 2007 book and DVD best-sellers lists released by the online retailer Amazon today. The seventh and final book in author J K Rowling's series about the young wizard sold more units via the online retailer than any other product.

It was followed in second place in the chart by the DVD of Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix. The DVD of the Bourne Ultimatum, starring Matt Damon, was Amazon's third best-selling item by unit during 2007, followed by the DVD of Shrek The Third and The Simpsons Movie (DVD).

The Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows book was both the biggest selling and most positively reviewed product of 2007 on Amazon. A spokesman for the website said, "it has very much been the year of Harry Potter, as is shown by the fact that he features in our number one and number two best-selling products.

"It has been the global phenomenon of 2007 and you are still going to get probably another couple of Christmasses which will see Harry Potter high on the chart because there are another couple of DVDs still to come." The seventh and final instalment of the Harry Potter series smashed book sale records when it launched in summer.
