Summary: I can't put it down!!
Review: I don't read. I hate reading and it's all I can do to get through the day without the book in hand reading it. I think you have to have the same wants and desires as Harry. You have to wish to be a Wizard or Witch. Your imagination runs wild and you feel yourself rooting for him with every page. I'm 28 years old and I bought the first book for my daughter who has problems with reading and I couldn't stop reading it. I had to go immediately and buy this book. Now I'm nearly finished with it and I'm on here today to buy the next two so I won't have to go a day without knowing what's happened. I think I'll be rereading Harry Potter for a long time. Wishing I was there with them learning magic and playing Quidditch. Keep dreaming up these fabulous stories, Ms. Rowling. Your keeping me young at heart. Feeding my spirit.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Super Sequel
Review: I don't suggest this book to extremly young readers(4-6) because even though only 1 person dies, there is alot of people who get petrified and that means it might effect dreams.

this book keeps you reading and trying to piece together the puzzle until the very end. this book has alot of suspense and action unlike the first book having the same amount of action but less suspence

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: sad person
Review: I don't underestand why people say this is a bad book, i personally loved it. And those who consider it "not for children" are wrong, this book has nothing that coud offend a young reader. And i hope someone agrees whith me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another hit as good as the first
Review: I echo the sentiments that I stated in my review of the first book: I could absolutely not put this book down! Ms. Rowling has a great skill and talent in pulling the reader in and keeping one enthralled until the last page. I was sorry it was over when I read the last words in the book. After reading the first and second book, I finally went with my youngest son to see the movie. The book was better, but the movie was a lot of fun. If you saw the movie without reading the book(s), now go back and do it right - read the books! They are a blast!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Love this Book!!! It is Excellent!!!
Review: I encourage all of the readers out there to read this book.It is about a boy who finds out that he is a wizard, and goes to Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry school where he has all kinds of magical adventures, and saves the school. It is an interesting funfilled book that you will enjoy. I like it because of the fantasy, and the way J.K. Rowling keeps you captivated.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harry Potter is the Greatest
Review: I enjoyed reading this book because it was very exciting and it was great to read about Harry and his adventures. It was interesting because It was great to meet new characters and more fantasy and adventure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GOOD
Review: I enjoyed this book a lot. It is my least favorite in the series, but that isn't to say that it is AWESOME! The movie was great too, but it needed a great part of the book that it cut out: the Deathday Party. I know some of you are agreeing with me right now. That would have been a great scene in the movie.

Even if you've seen the movie, you should still read this book. There a lot of things in the book that you miss in the movie(same with the first book and movie). I think the heroic scene in the last part of the book needed to be expanded more, but that is just me. Otherwise, it was great. I absolutely adore J. K. Rowling. I would love to be that talented!

If you've not read this book, for God's sake: GO GET IT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful story, but may be too violent for younger kids.
Review: I enjoyed this book even more than the first. The pacing is more even, and the overall story is a far more engrossing read. That said, this is a far darker and more violent book than the first. I'd think twice before giving it to a child under nine, or to anyone unusually sensitive, for that matter.

Also, the author attempts to deal with racism in a wizard-world way: children whose parents are not themselves magic are called ''mudbloods'' by others; the epithet connotes that their blood is somehow ''dirty'', and that they themselves are inferior. I'm still split over whether or not the author handles this subject well. Parents may wish to use it as the basis of a family discussion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As fantastic as the first book!
Review: I enjoyed this book just as much as the first. Bravo, JK and Harry! Wow, Harry puts up with so much from the Dursleys; it was a great, funny getaway. I laughed also when Harry's first trip by floo powder results in him coughing, and winding up in the Dark Arts section of Diagon Alley, totally embarrassed. Boy, I could see that Harry was soo scared when he sees Lucius Malfoy, who's even worse than that awful Draco Malfoy. It was kind of funny that Harry hid in a closet, too afraid to let them see him, esp. since Harry was a mess and his glasses were broken. Malfoy gets worse in this book and torments poor Harry even more, esp. during their first Quidditch game when Harry's trying to avoid a bludger. I was soo glad when Malfoy missed the snitch and caused Slytherin to lose because he was too busy taunting Harry and wound up getting blasted big-time by the Slytherin Captain! Malfoy deserved that one; he's a rotten snob. Dobby is funny and cute and it's sweet that Harry frees him from the Malfoy's control even though Dobby causes a lot of trouble for Harry. I could tell poor Dobby was miserable with the Malfoys and I get the feeling that the Malfoys treated him like dirt. I also laughed and my heart kind of went out to Harry when Colin Creavey is gushing over him and taking pictures of him and basically annoys Harry. Harry tries hard to be patient with Colin, but it isn't easy. Ginny finally works her way into this plot, but she's still a rather marginal character. Hopefully, she'll be more into the future books and movies. It's great that she and Hermione become friends. It's also great that female characters stay strong here and there's a new female professor, Sprout, who teaches Herbology. I'm now reading the third book and hope to get to book 4 soon, but I'm glad I've read the first two; they're a great read! I'm also looking forward to the release of the second movie!
