Summary: The Harry Potter series is a magical experience for all ages
Review: I own all four of the Harry Potter books and have read then more than once. I find them enjoyable and I am 20 years old. I was very close minded about them at first and then my roommate persuaded me to read them. I now have my mother reading them along with my little sister. J.K. Rowling has managed to capture the attention of the three different age groups in my home and I'm sure she could do the same for you. The books are appropriate for most ages! They are exciting, fun and teach lessons of growing up and dealing with difficult situations.

Summary: Will the masonic reading of yesteryear?
Review: The finite setting of superfluous reasonings is the Harry Potter genre which supercedes any such precedence. The wizardry, unbeknownst to all, may be a form of metaphoric affluence, but how can we really know? Can such quasi-repetitious countenance convey far beyond what one may see as detrimental?

Far be it for me to say, but the preemptive notoriety of J.K. Rowlings might be described as feasible in a sense, but fathomable to all. Preferred is the rudimentary collegians that support the less conservative "masonic" foundings of antiquity. But can we be certain that none may be able to ascertain subtle vestiges of the era?

Second, the allusion to current day pestilence might be denoted as controversial to the point where one might condition oneself to grappling with plot and character without fully giving weight to more, shall we say, "benign" subtexts?

Needless to say, I loved this book.

Summary: Great Tale
Review: I am 57, and I enjoy reading. Some time back I caught an interview with the author and thought the books might be interesting for my son to read. Little did I know I would be the one reading the books. I have read all four of them twice, and have enjoyed the reading each time. The books are delightfully engaging, and the plot is well buried within the story. The protagonist Harry, is the ultimate in protagonists, he is an orphan boy.

The story is not about magic, there is magic there, but in passing. The books are about overcoming the bad times in life, and making the most of what you have. It shows how to build character. There are so many lessons of life in the books. J.K. Rowling did an awesome job writing the books, and all those who have given the books a bad name have either been terribly narrow minded, or have taken someone else's word for the content. They are a delightful romp through the fantasy world, and any child of 8 will know that magic does not exist, they all know it is fiction.

Summary: It was Good
Review: It was about what Harry do in school. There were a guy called You-Know-Who kill Harry's mom and dad, and harry face him in the school. He almost die. There were many bad thing happen to Harry in school, but he didn't die. I read all of them, I think it's a good book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GO HARRY!
Review: These are the best books I've ever read!! They're so entertaining that I just can't seem to stop until I've finished it! Even for the billionth time reading them! J.K. Rowling is truly an extremely talented writer. I promise you that you won't be disappointed after buying these copies. You will want to read them again and again and again. These are defintitely MUST READ BOOKS for all ages!! The fourth book will kind of leave you on a cliffhanger.... the moment you finish it, you will want more! And I'm trying to patiently wait for the fifth book.... but two years is just too long for me!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent reading for any age!!
Review: I am a 28 year old guy, but even though I've heard some ignoramuses tease other friends about being Harry Potter fans at middle age, I believe t it is only because they're too lazy to sit down and read the books and would rather see the movie and miss half the fun. These books show an author of great imagination spanning age groups and continents and having a rather good idea about what fantasy novels should be like.

Its quite unlike the boring Enid Blyton stuff where you always have a bunch of boring, British brats acting too big for their boots and finally solving mysteries that their even-more boring adults could not solve. Harry Potter wastes no time in Blyton-style gibberish and goes straight for the jugular.

Its total excitement and I read all four books in 5 days. The best of course, is HP and the Sorcerer's Stone, because it does a wonderful job of introducing such a intricate plot and concept to even children. The Chamber of Secrets of course is darker, with more death and violence and a scary monster that travels inside of walls and kills. Voldemort of course if still trying to kill HP and rise to power again.

The Prisoner of Azkaban should be fun when it comes out as a movie because of all the Animagus, werewolf and Patronus stuff. I especially look forward to how the movie will depict the Dementors, the horrible soul-sucking blind guards of the fortress of Azkaban which is used by the ministry as a jail for Dark Wizards such as the Death-Eaters, who are followers of Voldemort. The Goblet of Fire is not as much fun, the Triwizard Tournament being a let-down, but heats up considerably at the end with all the characters getting ready for a major show-down in the next parts. It felt really incomplete as if Rowling was saving stuff for the next part. Its drawn-out with well over 800 or so pages and it is quite a pain.

On the whole, I would suggest anyone under the age of 100 to read these books and to feel as free as a child again, with nothing to check the imagination but your mind. I loved the books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A KID TO ENJOY HARRY
Review: After my son went nuts for Harry Potter books I just had to read them for myself to find out what in the world would get my video game addicted son to read a book. Now, I'm hooked on Harry. Another book for teens that I recommmend is The Little Guide To Happiness. These books are clean and they get your kids to read. Can't argue with that, can you?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible!!!
Review: The Harry Potter books are the worst books ever! If Only J.K. Rowling knew how to write! These books have too much witch craft , they are boreing , and these books are confusing to the mind! If you want to read a very descent book then I suggest you read The Lord Of The Rings by the wonderful author J.R.R. Tolkien. DO NOT READ THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS! THEY ARE A POISON TO THE MIND!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE MOST FUN!!!!
Review: I loved each of the first 4 books, it took me 5 days to read thru the series the 1st time, and am eagerly awaiting the 5th. I couldn't put them down!!!
