Best Answer

While no specific date can be given, the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone reached the top of the New York Times Bestseller's List in 1999. From then on, millions of copies of each book has been sold. I would say around the early 2000's, or the first decade of the new millennium.

The books actually became popular before there were films or merchandise. "Harry Potter" became a household name around 1999, the merchandise started in about 2000, and the first movie came out in 2001.

Are the Harry Potter books good?

Yes! The Harry Potter books are wonderful for pre-teens ages 10 and up, but may be a little dark for younger ages. J.K. Rowling does an amazing job when writing the Harry Potter books. There are 7 Harry Potter Books in the series: Year One: Harry Potter and the Philospher's Stone (or the Socerer's Stone) Year Two: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Year Three: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Year Four: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Year Five: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phonix Year Six: Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince Year Seven: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows All of the books are good, and so are the Harry Potter movies! But remember, always read the book first because the movies don't go into much detail as the books do!
