Summary: These will be classics read for decades
Review: I considered myself lucky to have gotten an advance reading copy of the third and newest Harry Potter book (don't worry Scholastic, I still bought a copy!), and without giving away any of the incredible plot, it's absolutely wonderful. J.K. Rowling has gotten even better with this new entry in the series--between edge-of-your-seat thrills and laugh-out-loud humor, she's created a series of classics that will be read for decades, if not beyond. I'm 37...but I *wish* I'd discovered these when I was 13! Buy this, buy the others, read 'em till they fall apart, buy new copies, save them for your kids to pass down to their kids. You need a little magic in your life!

Summary: Probably the best in the series
Review: I could rate this one the best book in the Harry Potter series, but I still have not read the fourth one. The author probably has realized that many adults are already inmersed in this "child book" series, so this book shows a lot more mature and complicated plotline (eventhough children will understand it as well, and maybe better than an adult).The reason why this books is so important for toddlers as well as adults is that it is a masterpiece of pure imagination that revolves around values like friendship, tolerance and boldness, as well as providing a world beyond our wildest dreams, full of characters that will make us laugh and worry as well, while we are sticked to the exciting plot. I guess people (including myself) like these books so much because they provide a world that pushes our imagination to the limit, as well as characters wich we can identify with (everybody had that particular teacher that seemed to hate you), providing an escape valve from this crooked place we Muggles have lo live in.

Summary: THE BEST BOOK OF THE CENTURY
Review: I COULDN'T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN I WAS SO INTERESTED. I READ THIS BOOK FAST BECAUSE WHEN YOU READ THE FIST CHAPTER YOU REALLY GET INTO THE BOOK. I LIKE THE HARRY POTTER'S SERIES AND THIS MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE EVER. I'VE HEARD THERE MIGHT BE A FEW MORE BOOKS COMING OUT I'M JUST AS EAGER TO READ THEM AS THE OTHER THREE

Summary: This is the best fantasy story I've read!
Review: I couldn't stop reading this book. Just when everything dies down again, Harry finds a majical map or an escaped criminal. I read the English version, so some words, like jumper, were confusing, but there has been nothing as great as it so far, with the exception of the other two Harry Potter books.

Summary: VERY WELL WRITTEN
Review: I did not want to read the Harry Potter books. But i was on the way out the door for a 4 hour car ride, and i walked by it on the tabel (my older brother bought it) and i grabbed it, litterally, out the door. I read it and was hooked. I have read up to number 5, and i think that this one is the BEST one written. To the older people, These books are really well written, do not be fooled by the "childish" plots and fame, and do not get caught up in the children's figures and games, these books are fit to be read at any age and are in no way childish. Don't believe me?? Go ahead and read one (i recommend starting at #1)- I dare ya. all for now.

Summary: My Favorite of the 3
Review: I didn't embrace the Harry Potter fad when it first started, so I didn't end up reading book three until after the fourth one had come out. I wish I had! It is my favorite of the three books I've read. In the very beginning we find out that Voldemort's closest servant, Sirius Black, has mysteriously escaped from Azkaban, the wizard prison, and is headed to Hogwarts. Due to information revealed as the story progresses, it is clear that he is after Harry. But also from the beginning, Rowland kept her antagonist from falling into the easily-created stereotypical villain. I was intrigued with Black's character and motives from chapter two, and was held in suspense until Harry's final confrontation. I highly recommend this book, and I believe that the ingenious Ms. Rowland deserves every penny her books earn her.

Summary: Characters deepen, story richens - I smile
Review: I didn't think I'd like this book as well as the others. I mean, how many times can you bring the Dark Lord into Harry Potter's life before it becomes trite and far-fetched? As usual, by prejudging this book based on Rowling's past work, I did myself a huge disservice. This book was fantastic. Now, I did guess a big part of it - my real first triumph in the world of Harry Potter. However, I missed the ending entirely. Yet, it was an ending that made the most sense. You never feel cheated in a book when the author ends it the way you would if you had the reins. Well, I might not have seen the path had I been driving, but once I laid eyes on it, I saw it to be natural and perfect. All I can say here is that the books are getting continually better. Rowling adds to the description and emotions of the characters, injecting charm and humor in surprising abundance. It is almost as though the scope of the story is growing with each book. Kind of like since Harry is getting older, growing up, we are able to see a fuller world with more depth and reality than when he was just eleven. This is especially true in the fourth novel, which I will get to later. New characters are introduced. Some frightening, some friendly, but all interesting. The Dementors are especially memorable. You cheer for Harry as never before. This is the first book where I felt that Harry was special, maybe stronger than your typical wizard. I think he will eventually rise to a special place in the world of witches and wizards and I'm looking forward to that. But the great thing about this book is that the things you hope will happen, the things you scream to happen, do happen. Once again, I looked down and found myself soaring high through the magical world, pulled there masterfully by a great writer with a brilliant imagination. I hope the series continues beyond the seven planned books. I hope there will be a few adult adventures of Harry Potter. There would be nothing more endearing than growing up with a character and then finding him fully grown in one's own adulthood. Rowling is already touching the hearts and minds of children and adults everywhere. But once his time at Hogwarts has passed, I think it would be intriguing to see how the boy gets along as a man. Buy this book. You won't be disappointed.
