Summary: New Harry Potter books
Review: These books are good, but are not very long, and seem to be more for younger kids. I'm 16 years old, but I still would recommend them for Harry Potter fans. I personally like the Fantastic Beasts book better. The comments by Harry, Ron, and Hermione are kinda funny.

Summary: Cute!!
Review: The books were very cute.. if you like Harry Potter, you would like these books! They are inexpensive, and support a good cause. ( The comic relief program in Europe.) The Fantastic Beasts and where to Find Them book is even Harry Potter's "real" textbook. The Quidditch book has all the people that have checked it out at the front, the very first person was Wood! My only problem is that they aren't long enough! These are a must have!

Summary: Harry's Books
Review: Harry Potter's schoolbooks (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages)are interesting to read. The Quidditch book is more school-like than the Fantastic Beasts book, but it shows you where the Golden Snitch came from (it started out as a Golden Snidget, a type of bird) and some different teams that are in Quidditch. The Fantastic Beasts book is much more amusing because it has some notes "written" by Harry, Ron, and a little from Hermione. Many different beasts are written in there and it is interesting to learn about what new monsters we might see in future Harry Potter books. It also tells about manticores and fire crabs, mentioned in book 4 of Harry Potter (Hagrid bred a manticore and fire crab to make the Blast-Ended Skrewts). I would say that these books are great!

Summary: Quidditch 5 Stars, Fantastic Beasts 3 starts
Review: Rowling isn't the best writer ever. You won't look at a sentence and be stunned by its craft. However, she sells the quantity of books she does through her incredible imagination. While Fantastic Beasts goes over a lot of the same material from the regular HP books (And how could she have forgotten Dementors?), Qudditch lets her run wild. It's one of the best $... I have spent recently.

Summary: Truly Superb!
Review: I LOVE Harry Potter (I'm not afriad to admit it!) and I was very excited when I received my books. They are fabulous! There are even little notes made by Harry written into them :) J.K Rowling has done a fine job and I eagerly await her fifth book.

Summary: J K Rowlings new Comic relief boooks
Review: Wow! These books are just fantastic! An absoloute must for any Harry Potter fan. The books, 'Quidditch through the ages', explains everyhting you need to know about the wizards magical sport, including rules, teams and history.The book is funny too, with J K Rowlings humour lightening this amazingly imaganitive book. The next book, ' Fantastic Beasts and where to find them', includes many species mentioned in the books, and more that might well be included in the later books.Again, the book is very funny, and the notes scribbled by Harry, Ron and Hermione throughout the book are brilliant touches. For example, 'Chuddley Cannons', Rons favourite Quidditch team, is written on the odd page, and hangman and naughts and crosses games are scribbled at the beginning. As with 'Quidditch through the ages',there is an introduction written by none other than Albus Dumbledore, the Hogwarts headmaster, explaining to all non-muggles the aims of Comic relief. Buy these books, they are great fun as companions to the books, and of course, its for charity! So what are you waiting for? Go! Buy them, now!

Summary: Excellent Additions to the Harry Potter Family
Review: This cute set of Harry Potter school books is in keeping with Rawlings' style in the rest of the series. Promoted to look like actual Hogwarts books, "Quidditch throughout the ages" and "Magical Beasts and where to find them", add to the magic and mystery of understanding Harry's world. Both books feature comments "written" on the pages by Harry and his friends about the texts that are funny and entertaining. I thouroughly enjoyed these books and would recommend them as a must to any serious Harry Potter fan if you can get your hands on them! I would not, however, recommend them for very young children. They are designed as textbooks, and are a little dry in some places because of it. The Magical beasts book, for example, is just an alphabetized list of beasts and creatures with their characteristics, and I can not possibly imagine a young child being enthralled by a type of book like this with a lot of imagination, but no plot and no characters. I also thought the books are a little flimsy. They are very, very thin and I can see I am going to have trouble trying to read and enjoy them and still keep them in pristine condition as I know they will be collectors items. Do your part for charity and indulge your Harry Potter craving - give these little books a try.

Summary: I love both books--a MUST for true Harry Potter fans!
Review: I just got Quidditch Through the Ages (that's one book) and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (that's the other one). They come in a set. The Quidditch book is great to read; it has all the rules, and lists of all the greatest Quidditch teams--but my fave parts of the book are the list of who has "checked it out" from the Hogwarts Library so far, and the warning from the Hogwarts School Librarian! It also has cool drawings. It's also a quick read because it's not too long, but now I can start it all over again! I want to memorize the other book about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I LOVE this book! It's really funny in a lot of places, and again my favorite things are comments that Harry and Ron have "written" into the book! (Hermione wrote some comments too, which suprised me!). It's also kind of creepy in places, describing really grotesque things that some of the creatures do. It's a neat mixture.I hope these books will come out someday in hardback. Maybe they could publish them together in one hardback book, if it's too much trouble to publish them as separate hardbacks. The money could still go to charity! Thanks to J.K. Rowling for entertaining us (and CHARMING us) once again! These are really FUN books. Mary, Florida
