Summary: A great book for everyone
Review: You should read Harry Potter if you like drama and excitement in your stories. This book has it all. Harry Potter is for all ages. Things I like in it, and it probably has things you'd like to. Harry Potter is a boy that's soon to find out about his parents and himself. He lives with his Aunt and Uncle they try to stop him finding out that, he is a Wizard.

Summary: Adults and Kids alike will need flashlight batteries.....
Review: You will need the batteries because you will find yourself reading this book late, late into the night. My mother (I'm 33) said I needed to read this book. So I grudgingly abliged, you know how mothers can be. I figured it would be a quick book I could skim, and be done with it. Instead I am yet another Muggle who is hooked.I finished this book in less than two nights. My co-workers noticed that it seemed that I was very sleepy at work. But, I could not put the book down. We are introduced to an 11 year old just before his birthday, which will not be celebrated by his Aunt and Uncle. After this introduction you will be wisked away to Hogsworth a school for young witches and wizards. Not all is fun and games, there is serious studying there (sometimes). In addition to learning about his parents, meeting other students who think he is not an outcast, Harry, Ron and Hermonie are drawn into the mystery on the 3rd floor. Never tell a curious person not to go somewhere unless that is where you really want them to go. These three teach us all how each person has their own strengths, and they will all be usefull at some point in time. J.K. Rowling introduces us to characters that are described so well that you can actually see them in your head. I found myself chearing on some characters and booing at others. This book should be mandatory reading for all kids, an ADULTS. Imagination is to be cherished. If you like the Madeline L'Engle books, or the Black Cauldron Series, this series is a must for you! (Adults and kids alike)

Summary: A Classic Adventure For Both Kids And Adults
Review: You won't read more than ten pages before you start loving thethin, bespeckled boy known as Harry Potter. He lives in a cupboardunder the stairs with his aunt and uncle, since his parents were killed when he was an infant. They don't like him at all, nor does his cousin Dudley, the spoiled brat who occupies himself with bullying Harry. The novel takes off, and soon we learn that harry is the son of two magical parents who were killed by an evil wizard--but that Harry somehow was able to defeat the wizard and live. Now he is called to go to the wizard school to learn to fly brooms and do magic spells. Rowling's tale is charming and bursts with imagination on every page. Hardly without noticing, she brings you into her world, where the rules are turned on their heads, where pictures always move, and the impossible is possible. It isn't hard to see why children the world over love Rowling's books. But what makes this first installment of a seven book series more enchanting is that it is equally enjoyable for adults as well as children. I read the first novel in three days--I couldn't put it down. Her book reminds me of two other classic children's tales-- the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis and Tolkien's The Hobbit. But Rowling writes with a lighter note than either of the former, and with a firmer sense of adventure. I laughed out loud--and it has been a very long time since a book made me do that. It is surprising that Rowling is so popular in America, since the book is so very, well, British. But Rowling's characters come to life, they seem to be people we have already met before and are (usually) glad to see again. Be warned: if you are buying this book for a child in your life, be prepared to buy the others. If you are buying it for yourself, be prepared to have a couple of sleepless nights until you finish it. Good reading!

Summary: Broomsticks and baby dragons galore...
Review: You'd expect that because it was a children's book there would be no depth to it, that it would be just a fun little story to entertain little minds. Not so. The book is loads of fun, yes, but there's a depth to it that's extremely rare in children's books. I especially liked that Harry wasn't perfect. He had normal insecurities and got in his fair share of trouble in school. In quality, I would put this book on the same level as Winnie the Pooh or Madeline. In style, I would put it in the same category as the Hobbit. Very entertaining was the fact that the whole world wasn't magical. The magic world was hidden inside of the regular world. I expect that right now children in train stations around the world are actively searching for station number 9 and three quarters...

Summary: Don't miss the AUDIO version, even if you've read the books!
Review: You'll be the Sheherezade of your neighborhood, reuniting long lost families, seeing them gather cosily around the boom box, stereo, CD player, or the cassette player in the car...just don't miss out on sharing the audio version of Harry Potter with your family, friends, children, neighbors' children and/or perfect strangers/pets (if that's all that's available)! There hasn't been a TV series or movie this good in decades, and the guy who does the reading for the story should get some kind of award, if he hasn't already. I thought it would be really hard to find someone who wouldn't lose some of the magic of reading Harry Potter and imagining each of the characters in my head--BOY, was I wrong! Every kid who enters my car wants to come and live at our house so they can keep listening! When my daughter's birthday celebration with a friend was supposed to move from MacDonald's to the nail salon for manicures and pedicures, they asked if they could just sit in the car with their hamburgers and listen to the tape! Then, they wanted to go home and read the books again--it's addictive, I find myself listening to the tapes even when the kids aren't in the car and trying to remember where they left off so I can rewind back to that spot for when I pick them up--otherwise, the kids rumble revolution! This could bring back radio if we're not careful....

Summary: A magical journey to a place of childhood dreams.
Review: You're a kid. You wish you wish you could have magical powers. You wish something exciting would happen in your life. You wish you could stand up to some toughs at school. You wish you could fly. With Harry Potter, you get to see a kid do all these things. You learn how magic isn't all it seems to be. A wonderful tale of friendship and fun and mystery, it unfolds before your eyes like a, well, magic carpet. Good for boys and girls. I bet Robin Williams will be cast as Hagrid, the school groundskeeper, in the movie.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Greatest Review Ever
Review: You've got to be joking. Well, I'll review it anyway. Characters: 5: Harry Potter is well developed (especially if you read further into the series). His friends Ron Weasley, the poor kid who hates Draco, and Hermione, the muggle born (non-wizard parents) braniac, and even the villians, Voldemort the dark master and Draco Malfoy, ... Plot: 4: I still gave the book 5 stars, but the plot is kinda preditable, which is the only thing I didn't like. If you have read any story remotely close to Harry Potter, you'll know what's gonna happen, though there are some turns you won't expect.

Summary: Takes You Away
Review: You've heard it before. "These are the best books ever!" And Harry Potter has always been my favorite books, but there's more to them then just good text. They're magical. They don't just take you away, they lift you off your feet and you float to Hogwarts or Number 4 Privet Drive, or wherever Harry is. J.K. Rowling is not just showing you this world, behind thick, foggy glass, you are living it. When you read these books, Rowling does not seem like just a writer, but an inventor, a creator. You'll know what I'm talking about if you read the first paragraph. Start reading. You'll never stop.
