Summary: She's done it again!
Review: Ms. Rowling does not disappoint. This latest book in her Harry Potter series follows the hero through his third year at Hogwarts, a school for wizards. Definitely worth reading, again and again, and bravo to the author for creating a story beloved by children and adults alike!

Summary: RED HERRINGS GALORE
Review: Ms. Rowling has done it again! She keeps getting better - now with the third installment of the Harry Potter series. The book opens when Harry Potter has to spend another disastrous summer vacation with the Dursleys. But--it ends happily enough for him when he causes his Aunt Marge to inflate like a gigantic balloon and float away. Because magic is not allowed, Harry runs away only to be rescued and whisked off to the Leaky Cauldron inn. As this is happening, there is the news that convicted murderer Sirius Black has escaped from the Azkaban prison and is now on the loose, and Harry finds out accidentally that Sirious Black is on the lookout for him. Sirius Black wants to kill him! Harry now must find out why and finds ways to save himself from Sirius Black and also from the dementors who are hired to "protect' him. One of the things I enjoy most about J.K. Rowling's books are the numerous red herrings she throws in the plot. Just when you think you have figured out "who done it," some new clue or herring has been thrown in to upset the apple cart. But then because there are so many red herrings, she does take up too much time at the end of the book tying up all the loose ends. One little nit I did not like, was the author's use of some words that some parents might find objectionable. But like I said, it's just a nit. Get it for your child, get them to read!

Summary: The Third Year
Review: Ms.Rowling has done it again!The third book,Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, is even better than the first two books. I mean I do like the other two, it's just that I didn't know what else to write?! Anyways, it starts off with Harry having to leave his home because he inflates his aunt Marge and well, you'll probably know the rest because of all the other reviews around. I really enjoyed this book because of all of the magical things going on. This book will literally have you on the edge of your seat!
The only thing that's guaranteed here is that you will enjoy this book to the fullest!

Review: My 11 year-old is a product of the television, fast-food, little-to-no-interest generation, the only excitement he gets in his life is when he leaves his family in Washington State and visits his Dad (skydiver/scubadiver/adventurer) over here in Switzerland - only then are his interests discovered and nurtured. I bought this series of books for him in the hopes that he would discover the world of reading. I am a writer, my grandfather and his uncle were both writers - to have a son with no interest in reading was heart breaking! I just peeked inside the first of the series to see what he would be disovering when he arrived and I forced the books upon him. . . without realising what was happening I was drawn into the whole series and I didn't put the books down (series completed) until late that Sunday night (a wonderful weekend!). . . and to my surprise, he was not only already aware of the series but tore them from my grasp and started reading, surprisingly, where he had left off with his paperback! I can't say thank you enough. . .stories like these are in the league with "The Princess Bride". . .

Review: My 2 friends and I love this book. In fact, we're all crazy about all of the Harry Potter books. At first, I wasn't sure about what all the hype was all about. Then my friend got book three, let me read it, and I fell in love. From then on, I was always on the lookout for Harry Potter. Now, my friends and I are searching for the 4th book, Harry Potter and the Doomspell Tournament. It sounds really good!

Summary: My 4th grade class listened for hours.
Review: My 4th grade class could not get enough of Harry Potter. They choose Harry Potter over playing computer games during their free hour. I have read the entire series to them. It is amazing how much they retained! Even the more difficult words did not phase them. The only problem I have now is waiting for the next book....

Review: My 6 year old won't put it down. I won't put it down! Together, we've read and re-read chapters (especially the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin). I've often had to yell at my son to stop reading so he can go to bed. Imagine that! Thank God for Rowling!

Summary: Outstanding!
Review: My 7 year old and I have been enthralled with this series. We had just about finished this book last night when my son fell asleep---I stayed up and finished the book without him! What a treat to read books to your kids that you enjoy too.

Summary: Send help....
Review: My addiction is worsening. I bought and read the entire 3rd year of Harry's adventures in ONE DAY! This is getting seriously out of hand. I have exams to study for, chores to do, and my stomach is rather upset with me. But who could possibly put down the best book in the series?! *gasp* I wasn't going to pick favorites, but this one is DEFINITELY my favorite. Only problem is... the first was my favorite. Until I read the second. Then I swore by the second... until I bought the third. Now I'm on my way to buy the 4th. Can't stay longer... must read 4th... send Ms. Rowling to coax me out of hibernation. Only she holds the secrets of "The 5th Year!" P.S. Anyone know if Ms. Rowling is married? She hasn't answered my proposal.

Summary: It was a good story...
Review: My brother simply LOVES the Harry Potter series (he's in grade five) and carries that thick book around with him all the time, so I decided to read it, too. At first I was thinking, 'This book is for little kids; I mean, it's like a totally fake imaginary fantasy!!' But as I read on, I couldn't let go of the book and I suddenly absorbed into this story about wizards and Hogwarts. Of all the four Harry Potter series, I personally thought this was the best one. It's about love, imagination, mystery.. etc. I really recommend this book for anybody who likes to do some easy reading with great story contained. Have Fun!!
