"The Hunger Games trilogy has overtaken the Harry Potter novels as the best-selling book series on Amazon.com.  CNN reports that the announcement was made by the Amazon company on Friday with an official statement from editorial director of books Sara Nelson.   &amp;quot;Since debuting in 2008, Katniss Everdeen and the Hunger Games have taken the world by storm, much as Harry Potter did a decade before,&amp;quot; Nelson explained.  &amp;quot;Interestingly, this series is only three books versus Harry Potter&amp;#039;s seven, and to achieve this result in just four years is a great testament to both the popularity of the work and, we think, the growth in reading digitally during that time.&amp;quot; The trilogy, written by Suzanne Collins, consists of The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay.  A follow-up to the highly successful screen adaptation of The Hunger Games is currently in production and will feature new cast members including Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jena Malone.
