Did any of the other HP games ever top the charts?

If not, then there must be something special about this one other than IP. Especially since most of the other HP games came out before there was any JKR controversy.

Other than mobile games or Lego versions, there hasnt been a proper Harry Potter game since 13 years ago and from memory they were extremely average movie tie in games.

Its not a series like Pokemon or Zelda that sees frequent releases. It being the first real game, and done beautifully (graphics/ recreation wise) is certainly the biggest selling point.
