BERLIN (AFP) - Harry Potter has beat out homegrown favorites to top Germany's bestselling book list, even though the latest adventures of the boy wizard have yet to be translated into German.

The English version of the latest novel in J.K. Rowling's wildly successful Harry Potter series claimed the number one spot in the fiction top 20 published Monday by news weekly Der Spiegel, soaring past popular German titles in a rare coup.

The fifth book in the series, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", was released late last month and instantly became the world's hottest selling work of fiction.
