Summary: Harry Potter exceeds expectations!
Review: I first read the first HP book about a year after it came out. A friend of mine bought it because it was a bestseller, read it, and gave it to me to read. I was amazed at how one book could make the reader wan't to kill to find out how the next book would start. I remember only having to wait a mont for the 2nd to come out, but that seemed like a year. After I read the 2nd (which was by far the best) I wen't to England on vacation and bought Azkaban there. I was, and still am, astonished at you the third sequel of HP was better than the first. It is quite a lot of fun to watch Harry grow up and follow his adventures word by word. At times a wish that I was headed of to Hogwarts, only to find that I am not. This is the only dissapointing part of the book. Not being able to become a wizard yourself.

Summary: Oh my Gosh!
Review: I first saw these book at my friends birthday party two years ago I didn't think they would suite my taste. But my friend nagged me until I did. And man was I WRONG! Harry Potter were the best books I read in my life, and I like to read. In book three the plot twists and takes you on a roller coaster ride. More of Harry Potter's mysterious past is unraveled. Maybe Sirius Black wasn't a murderer and maybe he had something good to do with the Potters. And maybe, most mysterious of all maybe, just maybe Peter Petegrew isn't dead. Professor Lupin may not be who we think he is. And as Harry gets older youy learn how he matures and his realationships grow. His friends become more dear and his enemies more frighting. My family are Christians with morals and my parents didn't want me to read them. And it is true there is some witchcraft that doesn't exactly go along with Christian's beliefs, but these books teach powerful lessons I have never seen an any other books. All kids should read them.And as the series will continue with books 4, 5, 6, 7 Harry will mature and discover the oppisate sex, and deal with the loss of a good friend. Some rumors say that either Albus Dumbledore will die while others say that Hagrid will die. These are a must read!

Summary: Amazing Book
Review: I first want to say, WOW! This book was phenominal! The twists and turns in this book were so surprising. The story starts out at the Dursley's house, Harry Potter's guardians. Well, Harry's aunt, Mr. Dursley's sister, was coming to live with them for a week. Harry though didn't welcome her with open arms. She had been rude to him for most of the time she was there. One night, a little bit after dinner, Harry had too much. She had been insulting his parents, and then Harry just took his wand out and made her blow up and float up to the ceiling. Well Harry had to get out of there of the Dursleys would put him on lock down. (Even though he pretty much was!) Well, Harry ran away and got picked up by the night bus. It took him to and Inn, which held the passage way to Diagon Alley. Well, Harry then was allowed to stay there, at the inn. He traveled back and forth gathering supplies for school, since he had to be there in about two weeks. Not only did Harry have to worry about getting stuff for school and other problems, but Sirius Black had escaped from Azkaban Prison, the worst place on earth. Sirius Black was suspected as killing many people on a crowded street, and then began to laugh aboutit. It had been reported that he was out to get Harry. Dementors were then placed at Hogwarts. Dementors were terrible creatures that worked at the Azkaban Prison. Well, Harry was tightly watched by all of the teachers and adults at the school, he was in danger. Harry had a "phobia" of the dementors. Every time they came close, something over came him and he passed out. Now, Sirius Black was now near Hogwarts, somewhere on the property. Harry didn't no much, but he did think that he was harmful and dangerous. When the two did come into contact and talk, what happened? Did Harry become seriously hurt? Was Sirius Black innocent? Did he really kill those people? What did Harry uncover about him? To find the answer to all these questions... READ THE BOOK! I highly recommend it!

Summary: wonderful
Review: I found all three Harry Potter books suitable for all ages. To restrict them to the under twelve set denies adults a most enjoyable read.I'll read just about any genere and find these books to be as entertaining as any in the adult fantasy section. I eagerly await the next instalment by J.K.Rowling So, if your child is caught up in the Harry Potter craze,read them a bedtime story and you won't have to make excuses for reading kids books. I don't have children so I must confess to just liking the story.

Summary: Unfornately that I'm not allowed to give more than 5 stars!!
Review: I found HP & the Prisoner of Azkaban the best among the other books of the series. The 4th.books, HP & the Globet of Fire, is very good, but it leads the readers to the 5th. book which is not available yet, ig8and I HATE TO WAIT! Some say HP is too simple when compared to JRR Tokein's creations. However I really prefer HP rather than JRR Tokein's (The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings I) coz. I found JRR Tokein's book a little too "dark". After all, the two books are different. So if you have read JRR Tokein's book don't try to compare JK Rowling's HP series against JRR Tokein's. Then you will appreciate the simplicity the Harry Potter series offered.

Summary: Best out of the five books
Review: I found this book to be the best out of the series of 5 books that J.K. Rowling has written. This book definitely had the most adventure and was well rounded in all areas, right down to the flying hippogriff. This book can be read to children of all ages and is enjoyable to ALL age groups. This book is one of the best, along with "The Order of the Phoenix".

Summary: A great book for any age
Review: I found this book very intersting. Any age could read this book. Parents to younger kids and teenagers too. It does have some older subjects to be weary of for little kids though. The plot is so intergratly woven through the story you just can't put it down while your waiting for what is going to happen next. After a week of hard school work a light book like Harry Potter is just great. Read this book whatever age you are.

Summary: Great Book
Review: I gave the book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban five stars. I thought that this book was very good. My favorite part in this book was when Harry found out who Sirius Black was. I had two favorite characters. One of my favorite characters was Harry Potter and my other favorite character was Sirius Black. I think that if you haven't yet read this book that you would love it.

Summary: Ranks well with the first two
Review: I gave the first two Harry Potter books three stars for a general adult audience, four or five stars for kids, and this installment measures well against their standard.Briefly, the evil wizard Sirius Black, imprisoned in Azkaban for 12 years after being convicted of killing 13 people with a single spell, has escaped and is reportedly looking for Harry. We learn more about Harry's parents and their death, and more loose ends of history get tied. New characters turn up, from the sickly but kind teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Lupin, to yet another picture-guard, Sir Cadogan. A werewolf, a magical map, and an amazing hourglass turn up in the plot, as well as a winged creature called a hippogriff. J.K. Rowling is to be commended for maintaining a fairly consistent level of quality throughout the Potter books thus far. By comparison, this one has less gross-out humor and a bit more Darkness and mystery. Some sloppiness is evident, however. The dialogue gets a bit melodramatically extreme in the "revelation of the past" chapter 17 when our heroes, Snape, Lupin, Black and several animals confront one another; and at the end of chapter 18 Madame Pomfrey suddenly pops up in an old story where she has no apparent place to be. Perhaps this reflects a slip-up in revision and editing. On page 272, Mrs. Weasley briefly appears as "Mrs. Wealsey." Nonetheless, the Missus and I hugely enjoyed reading this one aloud to each other, and look forward to book four in a few short months.

Summary: Enchanting and Exciting
Review: I gave this book 4 stars to get your attention. I truly believe it is worth 5, but that would blend in with all the reviews of satasfied readers and you wouldn't notice this, would you? I enjoyed the third Harry Potter book even more than the first two. Rowling has endless ideas about her fantastical world, and this book is very original. The end of "Azkaban" does seem a little rushed; how would we know anything about Sirius Black's character? His true character really surprised me. I enjoyed Rowling's enchanting Hogsmeade. I was also glad that she continued the Quidditch competitions. I think I understand parents' problems with some of the subjects in the Harry Potter books, but let us face this: these books have class and character. Compaired to the garbage on television, Harry Potter is very mild. Even "Snow White" is a bittersweet tale. Harry Potter is pleasant and British (now that makes all the difference). Let's praise Rowling for giving us fairy tales again and giving our teachers something to be excited about.
