Summary: The Book was great!!!
Review: My Mom brought this back for me from London. I thought it was funny, exciting, and very real. I want to transfer to Hogwart's! My favorite characters were Fred and George Weasly because they were funny and made lots of jokes. The good guys and the bad guys aren't who you expect - just like in real life.

Summary: One of the greatest books I have ever read.
Review: My mom brought this book back from England. It was so good I couldn't put it down. I walked around the play ground reading it to myself and now my teacher is reading it. I have also read the second book in the series, "Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets;" it was great too. I wonder when it will be available in the U.S.

Summary: My Review
Review: My mom first read Harry Potter to me four years ago, when I was in second grade. It opened up a new world for me and nobody has really figured out how to get me out of it yet. My mom read the whole thing aloud and I could sometimes read a couple sentances ahead. Then she read the second book to me and I could actually read a few pages ahead of her. By the third book I could read chapters ahead and that summer, when The Goblet of Fire was released I read the whole thing without assistance in three days. I've read the books so many times now that my numerous copies are literally in pieces. The books offer many levels of reading. When I was younger, they were simply stories that I would fall asleep to, but now I do research on the backgrounds of names and other possible symbolism. When book 5 came out I had analyzed practically the whole book before I read it. Harry Potter opened up the world of reading and I am the most advanced reader in my grade now.

Review: My mom got me this book thinking I would like it. I HATED THIS BOOK. This makes no since. My grandma was reading it to me. She Hated It. I Hate It. we made it to chater 5, all I remember is Harry was wearing glasses. and just how bored it was. To yall that love it I don't understand a bit of it. I despise this book. I give the aurthor and the folks that worked on it credit. We only made it to chapter 5. (...) I cant do the other review. God Bless

Summary: The Best!
Review: My mom got this book for my brother to read, but instead I picked it up. It isn't the type of book I would usually read, but I started it, and couldn't put it down! These series of books are very intresting. J.K. Rowling has and exciting imagination, and puts whatever she imagined into the right words. I strongley recommended these series of books for everyone!

Summary: I didn't think it was possible, but better than the first 1
Review: My mom had first heard of these and after she had read the first one she told my brother, my sister, and I that we ALL HAD to read it. My brother started reading the store bought copy and I read the library copy. My sister read it after me. When my mom went to buy the second one, she started it first, but she was the last one to finish it. We fought over that book for days. None of us could put it down, and when we had to we knew we wouldn't get it back unless we were really lucky. There is just NOT ENOUGH ANYONE can say about these books. They're for ALL ages. I've recomend this book to SO many people. And I won't stop, these books are a MUST READ. Buy them. be careful, however; they are EXTREMELY addictive. Thanks so much J.K. I wish I really could fly on a broom stick. Man would that be fun.

Summary: I Could not stop listening!
Review: My Mom told me about the Harry Potter books a month ago, saying that they were on the bestsellers lists. I love fantasy books, but I'm a freshman in High School, and seeing the reading level, I was kind of skeptical. But when I went to school, we had English in my teacher's Junior High room one day, and she had the Harry Potter books. Then my brother got "The Sorcerers Stone" On tape for Christmas. I listened to the first chapter with him, then I stayed up till 3 AM That night to continue. I stayed up all night the night after, finishing the recorded text. Jim Dale reads it excellently, I really enjoyed it. I ordered all 3 books, and I am awaiting their arrival. Some people are saying that these books inspire Pagan practices. I have a Pagan friend, and trust me, these books have NOTHING to do with real Paganism. Buy this book, even if you're an adult. You'll love it. Kudos to J.K. Rowling, I hope to meet her someday.

Summary: i loved this book!
Review: my mother and i originally bought Harry Potter for my ten year old sister. as a freshman in college with a job, i don't have alot of time to read, but i couldn't stop reading this book. i was completely hooked! i don't normally like fantasies, but this appealed to me. i think a lot of kids will relate to harry's existence with his muggle family and his experience at Hogwarts. this book definitely encourages the use of imagination. the suspense builds to a surprising ending. this was one of the best books i've read lately, and i can't wait for my mom to buy the next one!

Summary: One of my all-time favorites!!!
Review: My mother bought this book for me (i'm 13 and I love to read) having heard of it on National Public Radio, and I decided to read it although I wasn't expecting much. I was instantly drawn in by all the characters, and the author made me feel right at home with them. I loved the combination of magic, humor, suspense, and mystery. This is one of my favorite books now, and I am going to make all my friends read it, and I'm sure they're going to love it too. I'm going to out and buy all this author's books, and I can't wait to read them!!!

Summary: A Great Book for All Ages
Review: My mother gave me this book to read, which she said was fabulous. I didn't want to read it at first- I finished reading children's books years ago- but after the first chapter, I was hooked. It's a fabulous book and is definitely one of my absolute favorites. JK Rowling is a wonderful writer and I recommend the book to anyone- kid, adult, or teenager!!!
