From my own memories of growing up as a British kid in the 90s when the Harry Potter books were coming out - I remember boys got really into Harry Potter as well as the girls in my class; but none of the boys had any interest in the Worst Witch series because it was a 'girls book'.

Of course I only really over heard theses conversations at school and didn't really read either because I was obsessing over Jaqueline Wilson books at the time, but thinking on it I guess that Harry Potter just got marketed at the right time in the 90s whereas most of the Worst Witch books go back to the 70s.

*just to add, Worst Witch only came up because the tv series was airing in the 90s too so everyone was aware of its existence but yeah - once again I heard others claim it as something aimed towards girls at the time.
Harry Potter casted a big net in terms of catching a lot of interests at the time not just for kids but adults that were getting into the series too (pretty sure it was one of the first books my Mum was reading when she was trying to learn English because children books were easier for her to learn from - and I have met a lot of people who were learning English while reading the series, so its been pretty common in my experience).
