Harry Potter was outsold but by Selena so it is fine

The Harry Potter series has reigned supreme for quite some time but now there’s a new queen in town. Selena’s children’s book has outsold it.

Our time as the best selling Amazon book has come and gone, Harry Potter fans. But at least we lost out to a good one. According to Bustle, the Selena children’s book entitled The Life of (ora rather La Vida De )Selena has now taken over the spot as number one purchase book on Amazon.

Well, let me rephrase that: Spanish book. That’s right, Harry Potter might still remain the top of lists in other languages but, rightfully so, Selena beat the Boy Who Lived out. While the Potter story is universal, Selena is an important part of latinx culture and it is no wonder her book is sweeping the internet.

As Bustle points out, it is rare that anyone of latinx decent doesn’t idolize Selena and her legacy. And more than that, she reaches out to so many. Just look at the slew of celebrities who dressed up like her this Halloween!

From Demi Lovato to Kim Kardashian, the stars were out wanting to show their love for Selena. So as a proud Harry Potter fan, I say good. The life of Selena deserves to be known by so many and this bilingual book will connect her to a whole new generation of fans.

And still, if they want, Harry will be there to take them to Hogwarts as well.

Next: What is the best part of the Harry Potter series for Harry himself?

If you want to buy the book for yourself, you can find it here: La Vida de Selena by Patty Rodriguez, $8.99, Amazon. And really, this is a great book to beat out Harry and his friends. Anything that shows the importance of Selena Quintanilla-Perez is a book we want in our lives!
