Why Harry Potter is #1

Harry Potter (J. K. Rowling) scores 8.7/10 from 56.6K ratings — 0.3 points ahead of The Heroes of Olympus in second place.

The score is a weighted average across 3 independent rating sources. A title with few ratings is pulled toward the category average, so a handful of enthusiastic reviews cannot outrank a book that thousands of readers have judged. Method →
