Summary: Harry Potter, the greatest Book of ALL-TIME
Review: Harry Potter has to be one of the best books of all time. If you are a person like me who barely if ever reads for fun and felt that all books are just boring and when you read a book you just dont feel like finishing this is the way to start.

This book and the entire series have helped me realize how much fun reading really is. I have actually improved my reading habits from barely a minute a day to about 4 hours. I cant stop reading these books. If you like any kind of reading or no kind of reading you will enjoy the book. It has tons of Intensity, Mystery, Action, Comedy, And Great Cliff Hangers. I would recommend this book to anyone big or small.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A funny, excitable, and great book.
Review: Harry Potter has to live with his Uncle, (Vernon Dursley)his Aunt, (Petunia Dursley)and his annoying cousin(Dudley Dursley).They didnt treat him with much respect. They only let him eat, go to school, and sleep in the cupboard.Harry didnt have a memory of his dad or even his mom.His aunt and uncle always told him they passed away in a car crash when he was still a baby.All this disrespect until one day, he got a letter... His uncle and aunt wouldnt let him see it and Harry had no idea why. After each day, another one of the same letters would come, except more came along with it. Harry tried countless times to get ahold of one of them but could never. On his birthday(still receiving letters), the Dursleys didnt celebrate(which they never did) but a strange thing happened, a stranger who's name turned out to be Hagrid stumbled upon their door. He showed Harry what the letter had said, it said he was invited to the wizarding school of Hogwarts. Hagrid also told him that he was a wizard. This freaked Harry out and he just couldnt believe what Hagrid told him, but he said it was the truth. So Hagrid brought Harry to Gringotts, the wizard bank. Harry discovered he had secretly had a fortune of not money but gold, silver, and bronze, being called galleons, sickles, and knuts. They took some handfuls of the wizard money and set off to get some suplies for Harry's first year at Hogwarts. After getting the suplies, Hagrid took Harry to get a train ticket that would take him to Hogwarts (on a train that muggles,the wizard name for non-wizards, could not get on and cannot find). Harry told his uncle (when he returned)that he needed a lift to the station. Once he was there, he couldnt find platform nine and three quarters which was where the train was supposed to be. But with the help of a nearby family (who also turned out to be wizards), he was able to find it: behind a wall which he was supposed to walk through. Once he was on the train he met a wizard boy named Ron, Ron Weasley and became his first friend at Hogwarts. Ron told him good facts about being a wizard,what they usually did at Hogwarts, and many more good and helpful things. He also met a girl named Hermione, Hermione Granger. She as well became a friend with the two boys. They once again met someoneon the train. His name was Draco, Draco Malfoy and he wasnt really nice to them after Ron laughed at his name.Once they arrived at Hogwarts, they had to put on the sorting hat. Hogwarts is divided into four different houses or in easier words, groups:one is Gryffindor (which Harry, Ron, and Hermione were selected to by the sorting hat),then theres Hufflepuff, next is Ravenclaw, and finally Slytherin(which Malfoy was selected to join).The Slytherin's kids werent really nice to the other kids in the other houses. After a few days they learned their Professor's names:Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape(who wasnt really nice to Harry since he was the leader of the Slytherin's), and Professor Quirrel(who is only in Hogwarts this year), and some other ones(sorry, I cant really remember them all).At their first feast at Hogwarts they met their headmaster of the school, Professor Dumbledore. I dont want to share too much of this fantastic story so if you want to find out what happens, you should read this book and I hope you find it very intriguing.

Summary: Finally kids are reading again.
Review: Harry Potter has turned kids into bookworms again. It is so satisfying to see children ecstatic about the release of the next Harry Potter book and not so excited about the next Star Wars Movie. JK Rowling has done the impossible. She has torn children away from the TV set and glued them to books instead.

It is for this reason that her books will be forever classics but why are they so popular? Personally, I can't find how she is so successful. Her books are undoubtedly marvellous but what is the secret ingredient. One review I read complained that this fantasy book wasn't in the same league as the Hobbit or books like it and it isn't. Harry Potter is a far better children's book than Tolkien's supposed masterpiece. A child, nowadays will find Tolkien's prose pretentious and boring. It has too much fantasy, it is out of touch with children's reality.

What is great about the Harry Potter series is that it creates a whole new world but it also acknowledges our muggle world. Harry is forced to spend each summer as a normal muggle but his life improves drastically when he returns to school. Isn't this ironic! School is far better than the Summer Holidays! Is this the secret of Rowling's success. She is presenting the ultimate fantasy!

Summary: Harry is a 10 year old boy who discovers he is a wizard.
Review: Harry Potter is a 10-year-old boy who survived an attack from the evil wizard, Voldemort. His parents died in the same attack so Harry must live with the Dursley's. The Dursley's are very mean to Harry. One day Harry receives a message from an owl. A new friend named Hagrid tells Harry that Harry is a wizard and that he is going to a school called Hogwart's. Hogwart's is a school for Witchcraft and Wizardry. When he arrives at Hogwart's, Harry makes new friends named Ron and Hermione. They have many adventures as they explore Hogwart's and its secrets. The wizard students at Hogwarts have a game called quidditch. Quidditch is played on flying broomsticks trying to catch the golden snitch. Harry is an excellent player. Harry and his friends find out about a sorcerer's stone. The sorcerer's stone gives you the power to wish for anything and live forever. Harry and his friends find out that the sorcerer's stone is trying to be stolen by Voldemort so that he can regain his evil power and live forever. They try to stop him and must get through a lot of traps. They are finally successful! And that is just the first year at Hogwart's. There is more adventure to follow.

Summary: This book Rocks
Review: Harry Potter is a 10-year-old boy, who lives with his horrible aunt and uncle, and their mean son Duddley. On his birthday strange things start to happen, like letters for Harry that tried to find their way in. Then he finds himself on the way to Hogwarts, the school for wizards. And that is where his real adventures start, like meeting monsters and flying brooms. This book I highly recommend and you will like it very much.

Summary: Reveiw of Sorcers stone (book one)
Review: Harry Potter is a book for those who still have an imagination. One of my friends read the book and she hated it because she doesn't have the imagination. I personally loved the book. It had very good details so I could actually put myself in the place of the main charecters. I felt the pain of Harry's losses and when he fell I fell to.When he triumphed I felt like I was a part of it. I didn't give it 5 stars because then the book would have had to be satifying to all my senses. It missed only one! My smelling sense and it is very hard for a book to deliver that to a person.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harry Potter is a spectacular book that readers will love!
Review: Harry Potter is a book that makes readers feel part of the story. I actually wanted to go to Kings Cross Station and walk between platforms 9 and 3/4 when I read it. All your questions about Harry's future will be answered in a sequel coming in September. I recommend this if you want to go someplace magical.
