 PCE student review April 18, 2007
40 out of 50 found this review helpful
The Harry Potter series is a great series because the author explains the characters so well. The plot is full of adventure. I like the 1st book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone because it is when Harry finds out he is a wizard, he first goes to Hogwarts, he meets friends, and gets foes.
I like the 2nd book Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets because Dobby comes and tells him not to go back to Hogwarts, he goes to school anyway, and a lot of weird things happen (I can not tell you though).
I like the third book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because he goes on the night bus and has a crazy ride, Aunt Marge starts saying bad things about him, he gets mad, and he finds out that Sirius Black got away from Azkaban.
I like the 4th book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire because there is a tournament between 3 schools that Harry some how gets entered in to and he has to do the things in the tournament.
I like the 5th book Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because they make an order to fight dark wizards, Harry and Cho get into a relationship, and he has a court trial for using under-aged magic.
I like the 6th book Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince because Harry gets picked up early by Dumbledore and helps him make an old teacher come back.
My favorite book in the series is the 5th book. My favorite character is Harry Potter.
The series themes are life as a wizard and good versus evil. I recommend this series for all ages. I think this is the best series ever!

Nice paperback set with slipcover - makes a great gift. If you're one of the half dozen people on the planet who has not yet read this amazing series - or if you're on the fence about getting it for a child - DON'T HESITATE. This isn't overly pop or half baked stuff. Harry Potter is a phenomenon because JK Rowling is an incredible writer. She brilliantly crafts a vivid alternate universe where magic is real. The plots of each book are a brilliant balance of coming of age story, comraderie, danger, and epic good against evil. There are parallels to Aescelus, Erypides, and "the Lord of the Rings". Rowling has a special affinity for action. Each of the books brews and simmers until a rip roaring conclusion. Most folks read the last couple of hundred pages of each of these in a single sitting (or must be agonizingly torn away).
Some folks might figure they'll just watch the movies. That's ironic. Rowling specifically stated part of her motivation in writing these was to get kids to read. As amazing as the movies are, they can't touch the books. Isn't that pretty much always the case? This series is great literature, and is compulsively page turningly entertaining. They have turned millions of kids on to reading. I give them my highest recommendation.
Great deal and loads of fun September 3, 2007

I waited for years to start reading Harry Potter. I've already seen movies 1-4 before starting book one. I can tell from the movies that books are even better, many people expressed the same view as well. Now that all 7 books are published, this boxed set of 1-6 is what I needed to venture into the universe of Harry Potter. I enjoyed every minute of reading them. Although there are a lot of repetitions like when they're eating, walking upstairs to the dorm, and going to classes, but it also made you feel more connected with the characters. I finished all six books in exactly one month. It was fantastic. I know a lot of you think it's a children's book as I once did, but I know you'll change your opinion when you've finished them. It's a cultural phenomamon that will have it's place in literary history like Lord of the Rings.

The imagination put forth in this set could only come from a witch with a powerful insight into what muggles enjoy. J.K. Rowling has truly earned the Order of Merlin, First Class with her biography of Harry Potter. I give this set my highest recommendation.
So happy September 7, 2006

I was so happy to find this for so cheap. My best friend has never read the books and I am so obsessed with them. She finally agreed to read the books but refused to check them out of the library and couldn't afford all of the books seperately. I found this and bought it for her birthday. She loved it and now she is starting to read the books. ANOTHER ONE HOOKED!
