Summary: Shows less respect than those who wanted to ban the book.
Review: I bought this book out of optimism, because I thought that anything praising Harry Potter would be relatively harmless. When I ordered the fourth instalment from a shop, I was nearly made to buy it again. Thankfully, I didn't - once was enough.

What is the point of this book? Reading this repeatedly is enough to put you off Harry Potter. The book itself is divided into sections, as follows:

1. The children's opinions on the series. Most of the children made mistakes that showed how little they had understood of the Harry Potter books, such as talking about "Madam Pooch", and asking, "I don't see why Mrs Norris had to die..." when she didn't. The information that was correct was usually unhelpful and unnecessary. Even people who haven't read the books have probably gathered by now that Harry is, well, the goodie. They even went so far as to tell us personal information about their pets: "I have a pet frog whom I keep in a cage and feed crickets." Ms Moore didn't help, either; she regularly wrote unnecessary columns between the letters to talk about such irrelevant matters as Thanksgiving dinner and Valentine's Day.

There were "letters" to Hogwarts, there was a trivial trivia quiz and there was even an anagram puzzle in which about half the words were related to wizardry. There were comments about how Quidditch could be played on the ground, or with scrap metal claws (enough said), and even some pointless recipes - or, in some cases, non-recipes. A quote: "Last year I mad a restaurant called Slimy Louie's which served Road Kill Stew and Rat-tat-tooy. I didn't include Stuffed Owl because you wouldn't want to eat Hedwig or Errol." I won't make any more comments. I don't think they're needed. This material is normally channelled into amateur websites, not books.

On the back you will read: "Do you want to find out what others have said about how they'd like to fly on a hippogriff or raise a pet dragon?" Think about this. Do you? As other reviewers have commented, there's nothing new to be gained from this book. However, I have thought of one use for this book. It would be superb, all 100 or so pages of it, as kindling for a bonfire. And that's what I'm going to use my copy as.

Summary: IT WOULD BE BETER IN JAPANESE!
Review: I LOVE HARRY POTTER (I EVEN HAVE A SIGNED COPY OF BOOK ONE) BUT THIS BOOK WOULD BE BETTER IN JAPANESE! IF IT WERE IN JAPANESE YOU COULD EITHER MAKE UP YOUR OWN REDUNDANT STORIES AND/OR TRY TO LEARN JAPANESE (IT MAY SOUND BORING BUT ITS A BLAST COMPARED TO THE BOOK!). IF YOU REALLY MUST KNOW WHATS IN THE BOOK ILL SUM IT UP FOR YOU. HARRY IS GOOD!, VOLDERMORT IS BAD!, I LIKE TO PLAY QUIDDITCH USIN BROOMS LIKE GOLF CLUBS! THERE YAH GO! A BOOK OF FEW WORDS AS THEY SAY! OH YAH! I COULDNT UNDERSTAND THE PICTURE IN THE BOOK EITHER.

Summary: It would be better if it were never written
Review: I loved all the Harry Potter books, but was very skeptical to read them beforehand because of books like these.It turns a really good and mature book and turns it into one of those stupid "ralphie ralph and the detective club" books. The kids who wrote in the book don't sound smart enough to understand it. This more than anything I have ever seen before does shame to the image of the Harry Potter books, it is truly stupid.

Summary: This is just pointless.
Review: I wish they WOULDN'T tell us why they love Harry Potter... or, if they must insist on such behavior, then I secondly wish that they would say something other than "I love Harry; I hate Voldemort" until they are blue in the face. The book's just a gimmick to make money off of Harry's fame, so don't buy into it (literally). There's nothing new to be gleaned from this unless one is specifically looking for a bunch of monotonous 8-year-old praise.

Summary: A Terrible Waste of Time
Review: If it was possible, I'd give this book a zero. It was a complete waste of time!

Most of the book consisted of pointless letters from children seven and under to who knows who and said things like "I love Harry. Snape is mean. Harry is nice." over and over again. The editor's comments on the letter that were supposed to clarify it for the people who haven't read the book usually just restated what the letter said- I doubt seriously that Moore read the books herself.

A lot of the information in the kids' letters were fraudulent as well- some made comments about teachers called "Madame Pooch" and made comments about "Filch's cat having to die". The sections after that were just as worse, consisting of "what we want to be in the Harry Potter books", playing Quidditch on the ground, and other stuff that was even more boring... a terrible book. Don't waste your money.

Summary: Most disappointing, I thought it would be so much better.
Review: In this collection, children talked about the Harry Potter books. Unfortunately, the entire first half of this book was endless reviews of the books, many of which were wrong and/or repititious. I was bored out of my mind by these reviews, which told the storyline but not what the children enjoyed about the books, and HELLO, we already KNOW the storylines, right? The last part was some letters and recipes and other things, and overall the title "We love Harry Potter; WE'LL TELL YOU WHY" is completely false. I wish it had been thought out more and better edited.

Summary: Most disappointing
Review: When someone gave me that book to read, I thought it would be fun to see what children think of Harry Potter, to see how his story fuels their imagination. Instead, all I found was incomprehensible gibberish (and proof that few of those children have really understood the Harry Potter stories), and boring and pointless comments like "I love Harry. I hate Snape." over and over again. Any guestbook on any Harry Potter website provides more insight into kids' thoughts than Mrs. Moore's book. Good thing I didn't spend any money on it - the waste of time was bad enough.
