Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, which broke records after hitting the bookshelves in July, came top of a poll of 45,000 dedicated Potter fans.

The second novel in the series, Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets, came last in the MSN Entertainment survey with just 4% of the vote, despite being a best-seller.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows was the darkest of the Potter books, the series which turned JK Rowling from a penniless single mother into a multi-millionaire.

It sees several of the favourite characters come to a sticky end.

The movie version of the book, in which Daniel Radcliffe will appear as the teenage wizard for the final time, is not expected to hit cinema screens until 2010.

Film-goers recently gave the thumbs up to the film version of Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, the fifth book.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows became the fastest-selling book in UK history with 2,652,656 copies selling in its first 24 hours.

It overtook its predecessor Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, which sold 2,009,574.

MSN entertainment manager Mike Lok said: "Harry Potter fever is clearly still alive with the enduring legacy of the books continuing to grip fans of every age."
