Summary: Review on the Box Set
Review: Ok, I don't have this box set but I have all the books and I wanted this box set. But I decided to buy the whole series again when all the seven books comes out. But let me remind you...the Harry Potter books are amazing...great...best of all the books I have ever read! And this is very cheap for five books with a cute leather bookmark (I WANT IT!!!) and it is hardcover!!! You know when there is like a school book sell stuff, the books is always on sale and stuff...but here at Amazon.com is way cheaper...it is less for $...!!! So buy it! I promise you that this series is great! But I have to warn you that on the first book, the first couple of chapters that Harry spend with the Dursley is kind of like normal...I don't say it is good or bad, but when you get to the part where Harry finally goes to school then you'll love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Mystery novels. Honest.
Review: Phoenix is the latest installment in a series of mystery novels. Honest.

At Conjecture, an author said that a good mystery novel is one where everything is there for you from the beginning ... and you don't make the connections. It's easy to cheat, he said, to only give the necessary clue at the very end, but a good mystery novelist doesn't cheat. J.K. Rowling doesn't cheat. She gives all the clues to deciphering the mystery of Rita Skeeter in book 4, but I never put them together.

As you start Phoenix, there are all manner of questions left from the previous books. And ... I can't mention one of 'em here . It would ruin a five book set. Still, what better tribute to the series' success as an extended mystery than the legions of websites where fans debate answers?

Many of us started after Chamber of Secrets and Sorceror's Stone, but after seeing the movies, the books couldn't be a mystery novel. We knew the ending, and movies do not do mystery novels justice, as a rule. The clues in a movie can be overlooked as you focus on the expression on an actor's face or fix on one corner of the screen and ignore another. In a written work, though, it's impossible to entirely miss a clue. It's simply that you overlook it, or do not attach proper significance to it.

It's one reason her novels are so good. The second and third time through you can still see small clues she gave you, in a very fair, open fashion, but which slipped by you at the time. When the books are read and the mysteries of a given novel are plumbed, there are still the greater mysteries. It makes you wonder what clues she's given, small things she's told us that we haven't attached significance to yet.

Order of the Phoenix begins to answer the mysteries that shroud Harry Potter's future and past, even as it sets Harry's feet firmly on the path to book 7.

Without ruining any of the details of the latest installment, it continues this tradition. There is also the pleasure of seeing old friends: Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, et. al.

Phoenix is beautifully done, a pleasure to read. As always, it makes you wonder what she's laid out that you're not seeing. It leaves questions, yes, but it is, even so, very satisfying.

All five books in one set is simply a treat.

Highly recommended, to adults and children.

Summary: bonding with my daughter
Review: SO we've read them all, together. Who knew that I would be the one who couldn't wait for her to come home from school so we could continue on with our readings. I had to force myself not to skip ahead in this series while she was at school. The books are great. My daughter and I entered a mystical magical world together. As a result we actually started to do all kinds of creative things together. We bought singing lessons Cds- Voice Lessons To Go by Vaccarino which we do a few times a week in the car, we bought Berlitz Spanish Cds- also an activity together in the car, and we are doing an exercise video together. Harry Potter started us on a great journey together. Third book is our favorite. Can't wait for the next one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome reading
Review: The Harry Potter series is a great set of books I have read all five books more than once now. I just finished the 5 book for the second time earlier today. Hope to read the sixth book very soon. ...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Series
Review: The series I give five stars, but I'm talking about the box set. Considering that the books all cost around $30 in hardcover, this is a great deal, but most people already have the books in hardcover. And if you don't have the books, why in the world are you buying them all at the same time? There are some people (not me) who don't like the books. It's not wise to buy the entire series when there is a chance you might not like it. (...)

The books themselves, however, are wonderful.

Rating: 5 stars
