Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: This is a book for anyone who ever believed in the impossible. Anyone who ever hoped for the magical. Anyone who has an imagination.

Mysteriously a baby turns up on the door step of Number 4 Privet Drive. It is said to belong to the inhabitants dead sister. So the sister raises the baby. But soon mysterious letters come in the mail. Letters that they dont want to let 11 year old Harry Potter read. But soon he finds out that he was a wizard. A wizard that had survived an evil curse that his parents had not. Which left him a scar, linking him to the one who gave it to him. Who is now powereless. Or thought to be.

Harry then attends the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and makes many friends and meets many magical creatures. He even plays a sport on broomsticks.

A must read.

AMAZING

Summary: The Greatest Book Ever
Review: This is a brilliant book, j.k. Rowling has a gift of writting books you don't want to put down. The best part was when Harry went with Hagrid to Diagon Alley. The follow up(Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets) is also great, there will be seven(one for each year of his school life).Roll on number three.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truly a magical book
Review: This is a excellent book and frankly in my humble opinion one of the BEST fantasy books to come since J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of The Rings series. After seeing the movies which frail in comparison to the book any day, I borrowed this one first from a friend ( 3 days ago) and read it immeadiately when I returned home, it was pretty much like I was captivated in a trance cast by (prolly bewitched by Snape) the book because on that very day I finished the entire book for I could not put it down (except of course when I got hungry :D ).

The characters are very fascinating and human like which helps keep your interest, there are characters that nearly everyone can identify with and love. Please don't make the mistake of calling this just a children's book like most other people, I myself am 20 and trust me this is a book that adults will love also, and will prolly find themselves wanting to crawl into a bed with a flashlight with their own children to read this book with them.

Simply put, you should not really be reading my review and instead should be reading this book, for you owe it to yourself to read an excellent piece of literature, and there isn't nothing negative I have to say about it except that I blame this book for making me lose sleep.

Summary: An Instant Classic
Review: This is a fabulous book. It had me enthralled from start to finish. I was rather leery, I must admit, when my aunt offered me the book. She told me, "I tried to read them to my daughter, but got so wrapped up in reading it myself!" So, I decided to give a try, and was completely engrossed from start to finish, and now find myself turning out to be a Harry Potter addict - going to the stores, hunting down the different books... what a great thing Ms. Rowling has done for children's books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No wonder children read books again!
Review: This is a fantastic book! I am 56 years old and was fascinated by the book immediately. Not because I want to be a child again. But the author has all the story-telling skills that it takes to tell a good old story, exciting and simple at the same time, with lots of fantasy and a charming protagonist. It is a fairy tale, so we do not have to worry about the credibilty of characters, action or plot. We read the story for the fun of it. It is back to the basics: a modern Scheherazade at her best!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What else it there to say?
Review: This is a fantastic book. I resisted purchasing it because it was a childrens book, but I am glad I finally broke down. I was sitting in the airport waiting for my next flight and found it in one of the little book stores. It absolutly blew me away. Sometimes I wonder where people come up with their subject matter. This story is creative, imaginative, and leaves you wanting more. Lucky for me the next three books were already out when I finished this one, so I purchased them right away. I think everyone should read these stories, it brings you back to being a kid again and what could be better than that?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harry Potter
Review: This is a fantastic story for literally any age! Be sure to read this before the rest of the series, as the author truly uses detail to enhance the magic of the tale. Magic, valiant heroes and evil villains, staunch friendships, and wonderful mischief scamper through the halls of Hogwarts - Harry's wizarding school - as a Rowling shows you life through the eyes of a courageous young boy. At the age of 11, Harry Potter must now step up to his place of honor and danger in a world he never knew existed. While he learns to be a wizard, he also learns many other lessons that are much more important than simply how to cast a spell. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys a thought out story as well as a good time. Yes, it is a book targeted for children, but as an adult I can even say that I sat, after reading it, just thinking. My mind couldn't seem to pull itself out of the captivating world of Rowling's, and I had that warm feeling that you get when the good guys win over the bad ones, and you know the world is safe until the next adventure. I can't help it. I like Star Wars and other wide epics that tell a good myth. Although I didn't start reading fantasy until after I went to college, I have become a huge fan over the years. Rowling creates a tight, quick paced story that keeps you reading 'till the end, much like Tolkien and Lewis (2 great authors)! She has really added a worthwhile series to a sometimes forgotten genera. I find myself caught up in the characters and story. My only dislike for the Harry Potter series is that it is slated to last only 7 books!
