Rating: Summary: if only most adult novels could be this good Review: Harry Potter has become more confident and decisive since the first book, and Rowling has done a magnificent job of showing us how smart and resourceful he is. Her plotting and pacing are nothing short of perfect, and I am amazed at how inventive she can be with her storytelling. Even better, the Potter series emphasizes the importance of friendship, loyalty, and courage that elevate her books far above mere adventure stories. So ignore the would-be censors of this book and let yourself in on one phenomenon that merits all of its success.
Rating: Summary: Fabulous book. Can't Wait for #4! Review: Harry Potter has been a book my whole family has read and enjoyed. My youngest son(13) kept telling me to "hurry up with it"! I agree with one of the other reviewers, please don't make these books into movies. JK Rowling has a way with words that lets the reader dream. I have recommended the Harry Potter books to everyone who will listen. I don't think 7 will be enough. Thanks for giving my family something to share.
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter's growing up (sort of) Review: Harry Potter has been the subject of two previous novels, and they all start the same way. In each, Harry's suffering through an abominable summer with his relatives, the repulsive Dursleys, who hate and fear him (because of his magical powers) and have worked their whole lives to spoil their son and torment Harry. This time around, Harry's aunt visits them, and treats him even worse than the Dursleys themselves do, and Harry becomes angry. The result isn't pretty and could get him in trouble, but instead he's whisked away to a safe haven to wait for school to start, largely because there's a magical fugitive on the loose, and the rumor is he's going to try and kill Harry.This third of Rowling's Harry Potter series is a bit longer than the first two, but not as intimidating as the later two (which each top 800 pages). It's significantly more mature in its messages. I don't mean sex, but there are lessons here about trying to do too much, trying to do the right things, and so forth, that are worth reading even if you aren't a kid. The plot's also a bit more sophisticated and complex, and I think a bit better. If anything, it's an improvement over the first two books, and very interesting.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Amazing ! Review: Harry Potter has done it again! This is the BEST story ever written.I'm on the 3rd time reading it. I love it. I'm here waiting for the next one and I cant seem to get into any other book. Thats how good these books are.
Rating: Summary: The best book(besides the other Harry Potter books) Review: Harry Potter has just the right amount of suspence and adventure. I personally think that the Harry Potter books are for all ages. My former babysitter is a teacher and is reading the first one to her class and she says that she has trouble not reading ahead to see what happens. In oral lit at our school two groups are reading Harry Potter and the Prinzoner of Azkaban. I don't see how they can stand it wiating two to five days waiting for the next part! I heard that J.K. Rowling had written all 7 books, (I don't know if that is true or not,) but if she has I wish she would put them out on the shelves already because it is driving me CRAZY!!
Rating: Summary: excellent book Review: Harry Potter has turned my 10-year-old daughter into a bookworm. She has both the UK and American editions of all 3 books and reads them over and over (when they are not on loan to her friends, teachers, or relatives). She can tell you which words are used in each edition (to "hoover" instead of to "vacuum" for example). I read all of the books too just so I can talk to her. We are all going to be Harry Potter characters this Halloween. I highly recommend all three books.
Rating: Summary: These books are sso addictive Review: harry potter i can't get enough i can't wait till a fourth book comes out i'de like to read it the day its out
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Review: Harry Potter is a book that people see on the shelf and they buy it for their kids. I guarantee that it is appropriate for people of all ages and backgrounds. The book is fiction and takes place in the imaginary world of Harry Potter. Harry Potter is a twelve year old boy who is going to school to become a sorcerer. The school he attends is Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. The evil character of the story is Sirius Black. He had been convicted of killing thirteen people with one curse. Sirius had escaped from prison and had only one thing on his mind, to kill Harry Potter. Harry is protected by close friends, Hermoine, Ron and Neville. His good friends attend classes with him and have interesting things happen to them throughout the book. The book is very interesting and holds the reader's attention. When you start the book, you don't want to put it down. The book is easy reading and very entertaining. I would reccommend it to people of all ages.
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter never stop. Review: Harry Potter is a great book because it makes people wonder. Is this really magic or a great authors mind? Harry Potter is an eagle who flys over the country. He never stops. Harry Potter is such a great book beacause it is like you are living inside Harry Potter. It is your world that see in his eyes. Harry Potter is good because people see the whole story. You know everything about Harry Potter's world. J.K. Rowling uses her words well.
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter books are great to read. Review: Harry potter is a great book for all ages. it showes confidence and that if you belive in yourself you can do it. And they say it is from ages nine to twelve but I belive it goes from one to Onehundred if they can still read.
