The script’s incredible popularity made it Amazon’s best-selling book of the year, the company announced Wednesday.
Amazon says this is the first time a script has made it into the annual top 20, which includes both hardcover and e-book sales.
“The power of Potter is still strong, and readers of all ages can’t get enough of Hogwarts. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was the most anticipated book of the year, breaking pre-order records months before its release,” Amazon Senior Book Editor Chris Schluep said in a statement.
Cursed Child also topped the best-selling Kids & Teens books of 2016, Most Gifted books of 2016, and Most Wished For books of 2016.
