Summary: Wow, Words don't help here
Review: This is an excellent book. A young boy discover a new world (you will discover it to) and he just know now that wizards are among us!
This book will travel you to another world and you will just want to stay there, but wake up, you need to go school and work(too bad)

Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: This is an excellent book. I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy stuff, but all of it is pretty serious. Not that it's bad thing. But anyway, back to the book. It's well thought out, with a great plot. It's got some humor in it, and sometimes that's better than the whole magic thing. Fred and George Weasley are my favorite characters, they don't get enough time in the book. There's a certain amount of scary in the book, with Lord Voldemort and whatnot. There are so many new ideas I've never read about before, and it's a book I've read and re-read. So, let's sum this up. It's a cute, funny, kinda scary (but not too scary, it's scary enough), well thought out fantasy book. And it's so obviously english. I think that's so cool.

Summary: Brilliant book.
Review: This is an excellent book. I'm a kid in the 6th grade, and I never really enjoyed reading. Until I read Harry Potter (and the series), that is. Now I'm reading most of my spare time, and I can't describe how good this book is!About a young boy living in a horrible family, he gets an invitation to a school "Hogwarts," He goes and the story unfolds into a brilliant story involving "Quidditch" and magic! I love it! I recommend this book to ~anyone~, even if you don't like reading, or this genre of books.

Summary: Unbelievably fun!
Review: This is an excellent escapist book for adults who like to be young at heart! Storyline has enough twists and turns and imaginative characters to keep older readers interested. My favorite book in a long time (and a lot of books!)

Summary: The best children's series since "The Chronicles of Narnia."
Review: This is an exceptional children's book for at home and in the classroom. The characterization is precise, and the flow of the narrative is simply enthralling. The stroy mixes elements of fantasy into common everyday life making the reader again feel that there might be a small touch of magic left in the world afterall. This book provides the reader the opportunity to enter a truely original and well concieved world where owls deliver mail and ghosts prowl the corridors of Hogwarts School for Wizards. The crisp characterization of Harry Potter as an outcast child of destiny lends to the feeling of entering a world of Mythology. Adding refreshing bits of everyday life into this fantasy world engrosses and involves the reader in the lives of the principal characters. In the classroom this book can be used as a guide to teach students how to write creatively as well as expose them to literary devices such as forshadowing and alliteration. Overall, I feel that this could possibly be the greatest children's series of the last one hundred years. The author's sharp and stinging wit allow even the dullest characters in the book to shine brightly.

Summary: Excellent book that the whole family can enjoy
Review: This is an extremely well-written book, with a detailed plot, excellent descriptions, and likable characters. Although my eight-year-old brother was reading it, I figured that I'd give it a try (I'm 19) and read the first chapter. Afterward, I was hooked. I would also like to inform any other "Ann M. Oslund"-like people out there that this is fantasy. Magic doesn't really exist guys, so I think it's perfect to have kids reading this without worrying about them trying to emulate the characters (like one might worry about kids emulating the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers antics).

Summary: Wow! I'm left speech-less!
Review: This is an unbelievably good book. This book is about a boy named Harry who has lived a miserable life until one day a man named Hagrid gives him a letter to attend to Hogwarts school for witches and wizards. I reccomend this book to anyone especially kids from the ages of 10-15.

Summary: Great Finish
Review: This is book was wonderful. It ignited my inagination whichlaid dorment for quite some time now. The beginning is a bit slow butonce Harry makes it to the wizarding school, it picked up at a good pace. Truly imaginative ideas for the personalities of the witches and wizards and for the various other creatures and magical items. The ending was most compelling for a children's book with a perfect climax. My heart almost stopped at the climax. From then I learned that I should have someone in the same room with me so I wouldn't have a heart attack. This, and its successors, is a commendable book for all ages.

Summary: A wonderful masterpieace for all ages!!!
Review: This is by far one of the best books I have ever read! The best part about this book is its not just a story its a new world you get to see into and want to be a part of. It's a book most think is for children, but I loved it deeply and could understand it well. Read just two chapters and I guarantee you will be hooked. I have read only the first book, but if the others are have as good as the first I will devoir them as well.

Summary: A Whole New World!
Review: This is by far the most imaginative, well written book I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I love to read and try to read everything, but I was a little apprehensive about these books. I had heard all of the hype, but I also thought they were children's books and I thought I would be bored and they would be too basic. I was shocked and amazed that I enjoyed them so much. They take you to a new world and transform you into a twelve year old again with ideas and an imagination that won't quit. We all dreamed, as children, that our dolls could talk and that they could move and speak to us, well J. K. Rowling brought that world back to those of us who are now all grown up and know better than to think that we can have a tea party with our dolls and they will respond to our conversations. It is extremely wonderful to lose yourself in her words and dream back to the days when life was simple and all we had to do was jump on our broomsticks and be whisked away to a fairy tale land where all little girls dreams came true. I highly reccommend this book to anyone who is not too mature to appreciate being twelve years old again. Young and old alike can enjoy this book and it can help generations to understand each other better and give parents and children even more things to talk about at the dinner table. This book will definitely leave you begging for the next book in J.K. Rowling's wonderful series!
