Summary: A Wonderful Fantastical Read!
Review: I can't believe it has taken me so long to read Harry Potter. Like many adults (and especially those who don't have children), I had assumed that this was simply a children's book which would not be of particular interest to me. Boy, was I wrong. Once I started I simply couldn't bare to stop reading. I regretted any time that I was not deep into its pages. This is a beautifully crafted, magical journey to another world that whips up the imagination and leaves you begging for more. The spectrum of characters is broad and the plot is strong and well-developed. I will be moving onto the second book just as soon as I can get hold of it. Don't waste any more time wondering if this book is for you - if you are a real reader (and especially one who has been so since childhood), get this book now and fly to Hogwarts - you won't regret it!

Summary: Guess I've Joined the Crowd, as well....
Review: I can't believe that I was a skeptic, at first. I thought the Harry Potter books were just a silly trend and the books were filled with mumble jumble. I was so wrong! As a 15 year old, I thought the book was going to be a little too childish. I'm so glad I read this book! It is one of the funniest, most satisfying books that I have read in a while. A true page turner...The story revolves around a boy named Harry Potter who has grown up in the cold home of his aunt and uncle, the Dursleys, along with their bratty son Dudley. He receives a mystery letter that leads him to Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he discovers his true calling....as a wizard. At the school, Harry catches on pretty quickly and makes some close friends. His classes consist of Herbology, History of Magic, Charms, Transfiguration, and other magical classes. Harry and his friends are somewhat mischievious, but this turns out to be a good thing, in the end. The ultimate *Good vs. Evil* battle. Rowling has thrown in many pleasant plot "warmers" including the "living" chess pieces and Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans (which truly come in every flavor...beware)! These delights make the story even more enchanting. A must read for all ages!

Summary: By far the best book i've read
Review: I can't belive that there are some people that don't like this book. I have read other children's books, like Roal Doal, and the Whitch in the Wardrobe, and those are all great books, but this book beats them all. If those books are classics, then there is no reason that this book is not one. Buy this book if you dont have it.

Summary: Simply a great book, very imaginative, page turned foranyone
Review: I can't say anything but wonderful things about this book. A really good gripper that captivates you with out being provactive or overly compelling. It's like the reader just blends in with the setting of the place and you follow the characters around, most of the time it's Harry, like you are actually there. The book is not baffling but nor is it a simple read. It's just right and the characters are well toned. Kid AND ADUTLS will not be able to put this book down and will want to read the second one shortly after.

Summary: This Muggle loves it...
Review: I can't say enough good things about this book! What a mind Rowling has. The things she came up with when it comes to the Hogwarts School...nothing but brilliance. The Char. of *everyone* in the book is incredible. The Good (Harry, Harmonie, and Ron) the bad (snape and Maloy) and the ugly (that-who-can't-be-named) is just incredible. As I was reading this, it was easy to see all of the hype that goes with this. It may seem like a childrens book, but if you don't read the series, you are missing out on a great book by a fantastic writer. This 30 year old Muggle loved every page. A legend is born, and his name is Harry Potter....

Summary: my new favorite fantasy book
Review: I cannot find the words to say how much I loved this book. Although not a great fan of this genre, I couldn't put it down. I think it is the hands down, best fantasy book I have read, and as a second grade teacher, I have read quite a few! My son doesn't share my love of books, but YES, FINALLY a book that made him say, "Come on, just read the next part so I know what happens." This is no small feat.....Thank you Ms. Rowling! P.S. I just bought four copies of the next book in the series.

Summary: What Can I Say! Rowling is Pure Genius!
Review: I cannot stress how much I adore Harry Potter stories. They are funny, adventurous, magical, dramatic, and just perfect. I love every part about them and I can't wait untill the 5th book comes out. The first one is like all other first books, they are the beginning of a wonderful tale with colorful themes and backrounds. If there were an award for best author, J.K. Rowling would be sure to win it! All I can say to her is, "Keep Up The Good Work!"
