Summary: A wonderful book, amazing writing with warm humor & suspense
Review: I loved this book; best I've read in ages and I'm a 49 year old investment banker. But the similarities to the 1995 movie Labyrinth with David Bowie were disturbing--that's where I heard the name 'Hogwarts'of one of the characters. And when I heard that another British author, Diana Wynne Jones had published many similar books first, well, that makes me wonder. Isn't plagiarism a crime? I plan to read this other author's books before I make up my mind that I've been entertained illicitly.

Summary: You da bomb Potter keep up the good work!
Review: I LOVED!!! Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone! I couldn't put it down. It easily is five stars! I liked the surprise ending, you give the reader an idea that makes perfect sense and then change it. I wish more authors could write like that. This is my favorite book and I don't think any other book can beat it. If I could I would give it more then five stars!

Summary: COMPLETELY MAGICAL
Review: I made fun of the Harry Potter books ever since they came out. Then, about a month ago, I was really borded durring an overnight at work and picked up the first book. By the second chapter, I was hooked. I finsished it that night and went out and bought the next three books the next day: The Chamber of Secrets, Prisioner of Azkaban, and Goblet of Fire. Harry Potter is not just for kids. The characters are absolutly amazing and you fall in love with them immediately. The stories are purely enthralling. Rowling's immagination is unsurpasted and her imagery is beautiful. Harry Potter will make you laugh out loud, gasp in amazment, and keep you turning the pages to find out what adventure awaits there. These books are a must read. If you love The Chronicals of Narnia, you will also adore these wonderful books!

Summary: I may be the only person in the world...
Review: I may be the only person in the world who didn't love this book. I don't think it's a bad book, but I don't understand the big excitement about it. The writing is pedestrian, the characters are not that well developed, and frequently things happen that we as readers had no idea were possible. For me, it reads like an interesting children's movie screenplay. My fourth grade son read it before I did, and he agrees. We both liked the beginning and we both liked the quiddich matches, but felt the rest of the book fell flat.

Summary: A world of enchantment for readers of all ages
Review: I may be there very last person on the planet to jump on the Harry Potter bandwagon, but that doesn't mean I'm any less ardent of a fan. Sure enough, this is a children's book that appeals just as much to adults as to children of all ages. J.K. Rowling has successfully woven together all sortsof cultural icons, myths and legends and created a wonderfully appealing world inhabited by dragons, vampires, unicorns, griffins, trolls, witches, centaurs, warlocks, ghosts and giants. Its a place that will appeal to any child's imagination, and adults will be impressed with Rowling's blend of reality and fantasy. Harry Potter is an engaging lead character. He is an outcast at home who discovers he is famous in a world he never knew existed. He's clever but modest, loyal to his friends but not above holding a grudge against those who deserve it, brave in the face of danger but scared of failure. The secondary characters are broadly drawn, but subtlety would be misplaced in this forum. They are by turns outrageous, humorous, frightening and silly. If only people in the real world were so easily classified! In many ways "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a long introduction to the entire series. The first half of the book basically consists of introducing Harry, explaining the world of magic, and describing life at Hogwart, the boarding school for budding witches and warlocks. The plot doesn't begin to coalesce until about two thirds into the book and then it moves quickly and its filled with thrilling adventures. Parents, you may be buying this book for your kids, but don't miss out on this great read yourself!

Summary: impressed
Review: I must admit I did not want to read this book. However I hadjust finished all the other books I had and was left with nothing elseto do. So I picked up the book and read the first chapter. and then the next. and next and next. Soon I was trapped in this facinating book. I had nevor read such a story before. It was exceptianaly creative and filled with several unique plot twists. I recomend this book to adults as well as children. It is a fun and easy read.

Summary: IT'S A WOW!
Review: I must admit I was more than a little skeptical when a friend of mine recommended the Harry Potter series. What could possibly be so captivating about the adventures of some freakishly furry horticulturalist? Was I in for a shock! Somehow, J.K. Rowling makes planting fun, exciting even. I found I couldn't get enough of Harry's sage adventures, and after speeding through several volumes, have developed not one but TWO very green thumbs!!! Thanks Harry!
