Summary: Exactly What I Expected
Review: Harry Potter is exactly what I expected it to be. As an upcoming teacher I like to compare books and stories that children sometimes read in school. I expected Harry Potter to be somewhat magical but also explicate a real life situation. Harry is abused/neglected and feels as if he is in a world of abandonment because he doesn't have a real family. However, he is led to a world that he can understand and that understands him giving him somewhat of a family relationship. This book can be compared to those such as "James and the Giant Peach" or "Witches" both by Ronald Dahl. These books also contain magic and alot of imagination, however they deal with real life situations also. I recommend Harry Potter to be read casually as a way of letting children use their imaginations through reading. However, I don't recommend it for children who don't seem to use alot of imagination because they will try what they think is real in the book. A teacher must make sure that the students know the difference between what could be real and what is definitely fiction.

Summary: A wonderful fantasy about how one boy makes a big difference
Review: Harry Potter is famous before he can walk or talk so the people of 'his world' think he should live with a muggle (non - magical) family intill he is of a certian age. He has never played Quidditch flying high above the trees, he has never done spells or potions, he has never even seen pictures that move, common things for a boy of his age to have experienced in 'his world'. Instead he lives with his Aunt Petuinia, Uncle Vernon, and big stupid cousin Dudley who make him wear old misfitting clothes, never have birthdays, live in a cupboard, and allow him to beat up and pushed around. All this and more changes when a letter arrives for him and a giant man kocks on the door. You will love Harry and all his magical friends.

Summary: It's Magic!
Review: Harry Potter is just an average boy. Average...until he stops the most powerful dark wizard in a century in his tracks as a baby! Since then, the name Harry Potter is known all through the wizarding world. Harry Potter is famous for stopping Voldemort. Harry's parents are killed by Voldemort, and Voldemort tried to kill Harry, but failed. This is why Harry is Famous. He's the hero who stopped the dark lord.
Harry then gets drop off at his Aunt's and Uncle's house by Albus Dumbledore. Harry is less than famous at Privet Drive. In fact, he's close to being invisible in the Dursley household. He never gets any mail, doesn't have any friends, and his life is pretty much miserable under the stairs where he lives. All that chages when Harry gets a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry finds out that he is a wizard, and his parents were wizards (duh!).
And so, Harry goes to Hogwarts. There, he makes some friends (and enemies).
A great read for both kids and aldults!

Summary: It was like the pages kept turning themselves!
Review: Harry Potter is just an ordinary kid who lives in a closet on Privet Drive, right? Wrong! Little does Harry know, but he is a famous wizard-to-be, that couldn't be killed by Vol-, I mean you-know-who. He has never had any friends or participated in group activities. Then one day, without warning, a giant named Hagrid comes to invite him to one of the best school of witchcraft and wizardry around, Hogwarts. Of course Harry accepts, anything to get away from his rotten family. I really liked the way Ms. Rowling had a front row seat in the book waiting for me. I felt if I were in the book with Harry. The descriptions were unbelievable, they helped paint a really live picture picture. I really think it is really cool how she can write the exact way people with lisps talk. I thought it was amazing to have that ability. I really liked the book a lot, so I gave it five stars. I only recommend it though if you like adventure, mystery and friendship. Each chapter is filled with its own special uniqueness to keep you turning the pages.

Summary: A MUST for anyone who enjoys anything!!!
Review: Harry Potter is just your average English boy who happens to live in the little old cupboard under the stairs. He lives with his mean aunt and uncle and their spoiled only child who has two of his own bedrooms and everything else he ever wanted. Anyway if you havent alredy guessed, just like most boys Harry was dropped of at his relatives' house by a group of wizzards after both his parents were killed by the evil Voldimort. Anyway, this is one of my favorite books and it's guaranteed to keep you on your toes. It's very exciting as it takes you to your every day typical school for wizzard and witchery with chocolate frogs, two faced men, and a giant, fierce three headed dog named Fluffy. Harry Potter is a must for any one who enjoys anything!
