Summary: Great Ending, but...
Review: the book was much too childish. I suppose it would be good for children, but it seems even too babyish for them. The main characters (Harry, Hermione, Ron) are good, and therefore, only do good things, and in the end triumph. Whereas bad guys such as Draco and his henchmen do bad things for the simple reason because we see them as bad. The lack of background history and description, along with the poor dialogue, is what destroyed this book. Not a single character in this book has sliding qualities, they're either good or bad...good because they help Harry, bad because they punish him or stop him from something.

The book, for the most part, is without plot. While I was reading this I asked myself, is anything here going to happen or will it just be a series of events?

As good as it is to have kids reading, there is much better literature out there for them. Books that don't teach children that if you sneak around and break rules, you shall be rewarded. I don't know about most people, but when Harry does get punished (which doesn't happen often), I'm all for it; he deserves what he gets more often than not.

So why three stars? Simply put, there are some funny moments, and Diagon Alley was one of the only magical places in the entire book. And the sinister character at the end was quite unexpecting.

I suppose you could choose this book to introduce your children into literature, and then work them up to better written and thought out tales: The Hobbit, Redwall, and The Chronicles of Narnia. Or just save your money and skip the series altogether. IF you have read literature by any other authors though, I wouldn't venture down the road to Hogwart's.

Summary: It was the best book I've ever read!
Review: The book was very detailed and interesting because it was about an imaginary world that J.K. Rowling created. This would be very appealing to an 11 year old girl like me.

Read this book to find out more about his adventures at school.
