Seen all the movies, but never read the books? Then you are missing so much. I love these books!
5 Stars 2007-01-08
The Harry Potter series is one of the best fictional series out there - and not just for children. While the books start off simple, they grow more complicated and darker as the series progresses and the 3 main characters grow up. J.K. Rowling inputs themes about friendship, loyalty, love, loss, the consequences our choices in life have upon ourselves and others, as well as the ever-looming battle between good and evil. To have the first 5 books is a wonderful addition to any library, and this series stands alongside C.S. Lewis's Narnia chronicles as a beloved children's series that is not just entertaining, but also teaches us about ourselves.
One of the best fantastic novel ever! 2007-01-05
I don't know where did Rowling gets her inspiration (must be someplace where Tolkien, Lewis and others got it to, please guys... let us now!) but this stories are beyond the five stars allowed here. You want to just sit down and read a book to the end in one day, because is so great you keep wondering what will happen to Harry and his friends in the next page. These are great books for kids and "adult" kids, I mean, these are great to any age, as long as the reader has the willing mind to create all this fantastic history in its mind.

Fantastic for long commutes. My husband has listened to all the books this way. Says it eases his 1.5 hour/way commute.
best of the best 2006-11-21
unlike a lot of series, each book enthralls you for the next. as harry potter matures, so does the storyline. i started reading them just to see how close the movies were to the books and to make sure they were suitable for the kids to read. strange to say, but the movies diviate only slightly, which is refreshing. yes, it is fantasy, but so brilliantly written, that you tend to be able to see it in your mind's eye to the point of wanting to read more. i congratulate J. K. Rowling for her cunning insight and being able to take the trials of growing up and entwining it into a fabulous fantasy.

The adventure of harry potter has always facinated me because it is what most people dream about in their childhood.
I would recommend this book to every single human being to read this.
Its fun. Its refreshing. And its one of the most original series i have read.
I would think that it would be best that you get the paper back boxed set of 7 instead of 5 for more value for money...

A fantasy tale for all ages about a wizard and his adventures and the trials of growing up. Each book matures with Harry and keeps young readers entertained even as they grow up. A must read for anyone who love books.

This is silly; I give a 5 to the whole series. I expect that most of you are way younger than me or have kids. Every one of these books is worth reading, even for us that are no longer considered to be kids.
