Summary: It was great!
Review: I read this book, recommended by my Uncle, and I think it is one of the best books I've read! I think it goes into very good detail. I kept reading and reading, I couldn't put it down! I can't wait to get the next to Harry Potter books in the series, I'm going to save them for my children to read (in the future). They're just great!

Summary: Brilliant, but thin compared to the sequals
Review: I read this In 4 nights. (Which I realise Is particularly long compared to some people) First of all you really have to read this book at night, daytime just Isn't magical enough for a book like this. When I bought this I was pretty skeptical and was only seeing what all the fuss was about, and after the slow beginning I was still wondering what all the hype was about, but the moement Harry walks Into Hogwarts, Rowling has you. From then on something wills you to keep reading every chpater, page, line of text: "Who's watching him In the Woods? Whats he hiding under that turbin? He's forgotten the Invisibility cloak!" Everything that happens Is just so magical and compelling. And yes you are heavily reminded of Narnia, Roald Dahl and Tolkein, but never has immagination been typed up In such an enchanting way. The worlds In Narnia always seemed vague and patchy to me, Rowling's magical world Is whole and complete. To read this you really have to read the others, only then you realise that The Sorcerers Stone Is just an introduction to the story and nothing more.

Summary: A FUN WONKA-LIKE TREK
Review: I read this solely on the fact it is sooo popular. I was pleasently surprised at the contents. It seems very inspired by Dahl and his "WONKA" books. The film version seems to have Tim Burton written all over it! He would bring te childlike (yet still appealing to adults) vision the book crys out for. A casting suggestin would be John Rhys-Davies as Hagrid. All in all a fun book. I may venture now into the sequels, after I go join a pagan cult.

Summary: A Winner.
Review: I read this to my grandsons and used strange voices for the characters. They loved it, but wanted to know why the actors didn't sound like me.

Summary: Good enough to live up to its hype.
Review: I realize that there's undoubtedly nothing that I can say about this book that hasn't been said somewhere in the 4814 previous reviews, but allow me to join the chorus of extremely pleased readers celebrating the addition of another truly great read in the world; there are few enough books of this caliber that any addition to the list is sufficient cause for joy.What makes this book so good? It is readable by children, and interesting enough to encourage children who would generally prefer to watch TV or movies to actually pick up a book and READ. Beyond that, it's one of those delightful books that is actually as interesting to adults (at least, adults who haven't had their imaginations atrophied yet) as it is to its alleged target audience; like Tolkein's "The Hobbit", or Barrie's "Alice In Wonderland", adults can read this without feeling the least patronized. It has a writing style that is at once easy enough for the young reader without seeming simplistic to the adult reader; the same is true of the vocabulary it uses. The characters are well-developed and fascinating, both the central characters (who are children) and the adult characters with whom they interact. The villain is unambiguous, and right and wrong are likewise clear-cut, as befits a book targeted at children, but the characters do not seem in the least stereotyped. Hard as it is to imagine, this book completely lives up to the hype. It is a classic and will be as popular fifty years from now as it is currently.

Summary: Umm...?
Review: I REALLY disagree with three opinions about this book: 1) It's EVIL. It should be DESTROYED. 2) It's one of the best books for children and adults, because it teaches so much and it's so exciting and interesting. 3) IT'S THE BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD! MOMMY, GO BUY ME ALL THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS! RIGHT NOW! WHY DON'T THEY MAKE HARRY POTTER ACTION FIGURES? THIS BOOK IS SOOOO GOOD! NO BOOK COULD EVER BE BETTER! I think Harry Potter is an okay book (series). It's sort of fun to read, but it's not that great. I definitely don't think it's like devil worshipping or something. It's just fantasy. It's no different from millions of other fantasies. Little kids aren't going to become evil by reading this book. What do you think they should read, if this is evil? Fairy tales that kids have been reading and hearing for thousands of years are full of magic and people killing each other. Even stories with "morals" that kids are supposed to read have magic and even things like murder. Harry Potter is harmless, even compared to a lot of things that kids are encouraged to read. Do you know any kid who's run out and become a devil worshipper because of Harry Potter? If you do, then please email me and tell me about it. I also don't think Harry Potter is such a good book for children and adults. I mean, it's fun to read, but so many books are better. I saw a review somewhere that said that Harry Potter was a good book for adults because it shows that people who are different can be treated cruelly, like Harry was with the Dursleys. What an amazing concept. I'm sure no one knew that people can be cruel to people who are different, until Harry Potter came along. People know about cruelty already, the question is just whether they try to stop it or not. And I don't think Harry Potter deserves all its popularity. It's okay, but look at so many other books and authors: the Redwall books, Roald Dahl books, Madeleine L'Engle books, and The Golden Compass are just a few of the fantasy books for kids (some are for adults too, at least I think so even though I don't know - I'm twelve) that are much better, more exciting, and more interesting than Harry Potter. I think the coolest thing about Harry Potter is that the author was a single mother who was almost starving and now, because of that book, she's so rich. I really admire her, even if I don't like her books so much.

Summary: Harry Potter a good book
Review: I really do not like this book. It is full of ..."magical" things and I really was not interested in the bookor characters at all. This book is definitly not worth all the hype it got. It was hard to follow, hard to understand, and definitly not a good book! END

Summary: My book report
Review: I really enjoyed Harry potter and the sorcerer's stone. The book was funny, and somewhat sad. If I was living with a family that loathed me... I dont know what I would do. Harry potter books are all wonderful, but this one stands out in my mind. I liked it alot. and I recommend it for all.
