Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-30 Summary: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ... It was very interesting and a good book. I recomended for people of all ages. Is my favorite book of all seven's. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-25 Summary: Amazing ... My only complaint is that it's over. I miss my "friends" and fear I will never love another book the way I loved the Harry Potter books. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-28 Summary: Superb ... "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is the seventh and last book in the Harry Potter series. J. K. Rowling successfully brings all the threads together for a satisfying resolution. I enjoyed this book tremendously. Please do not get side-tracked by the critics who seem to get a kick out of pretending that it should have been extremely simple to write a better series of stories. J. K. Rowling did a magnificent job. The last writer to achieve a similar level of ability did so over 50 years ago. In fact, the excitement ...more

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: 10th Anniversary Edition (Harry Potter)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-27 Summary: Super! ... "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" Apparently, I am the 5434th person to leave a review. I will try to keep it short. I am a retired older person and, ten years ago, I bought a copy of the previous edition for myself and my wife and a second copy for my, then, eight-year-old step granddaughter and her eleven-year-old brother. We, each, enjoyed the story tremendously. We have followed the Harry Potter stories through to finishing the seventh book, last year. This is the easiest and the shortest book of the series. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-23 Summary: Brand New -So perfect! ... I got this book on the exact date it said I would and it's exactly what I wanted. Hard cover, brand new. Perfect. :) ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-10 Summary: Woven together well ... Not much new can be said on the Harry Potter series, so I'll just go with one impression from the recent read: Quidditch sucks as an actual sport. With 150 points for catching the Snitch, it's completely absurd, like if field goals in American Football were worth 10 points. The outcome of the game is almost entirely in the hands of someone that has nothing to do with the bulk of the gameplay or teams, and relies on an entirely different skillset. It's still convincing in terms of pointless English boarding school ...more

[2] ... Review | Say you've spent the first 10 years of your life sleeping under the stairs of a family who loathes you. Then, in an absurd, magical twist of fate you find yourself surrounded by wizards, a caged snowy owl, a phoenix-feather wand, and jellybeans that come in every flavor, including strawberry, curry, grass, and sardine. Not only that, but you discover that you are a wizard yourself! This is exactly what happens to young Harry Potter in J.K. Rowling's enchanting, funny debut novel, Harry Potter and the...more
Harry Potter Boxset Books 1-7
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-28 Summary: Harry Potter Boxset-Great! ... I bought this boxset "from Santa" for my grandson that loves Harry Potter! Although it hasn't been opened yet, I was very pleased with the packeging & presentation as well as to how fast I received the shipment! Stay tuned for my grandson's review after Dec. 25th!! ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-24 Summary: Not bad ... My son received these as a Christmas present last year and was thrilled to get them. It's his first "set" of books and he likes that they have their own box. I, personally, would have preferred something a little sturdier, but at least the kid is happy. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-03 Summary: Harry Potter Boxset ... I was very excited and pleased to be able to purchase this set, as I am a new Harry Potter fan. The "suitcase" the books came in was not up to the quality I expected. The books, however, being the most important , will last a lifetime and I will be able to pass them on to my grandchildren. ...more

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-23 Summary: George Orwell Comes to Hogwarts ... Ms. Rowling's fifth book involves oodles of political intrigue between the government in power and many of the major characters teaching or attending Hogwarts. The school slowly morphs into a brutal, totalitarian institution under the control of the government. The reasons for the repression of the students and teachers are more complicated than simply good vs evil. This story is a wonderful way of teaching readers about the loss of individual rights. It is clearly darker than the previous four, but still very entertaining. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-22 Summary: An amazing novel ... Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the great transitional novel in the series. The first books have action and interesting plot twists, but the tone changes in this book. In the previous books, when Harry Potter wins a battle (aka the conclusion of a book), the reader experiences a feeling that everything is all right and will be right. However, throughout this book and into the next ones, the confident feeling that Harry will survive and defeat Voldemort and restore the peaceful, jovial magical world we ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-13 Summary: excellent audio books!!!!!!!!! ... I have at this point listened to all the books that have come out in the theaters, i love them all, the narriator is excellent!!!!! I am a Harry Potter fan, i can't get enough!!!!!! ...more
Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | The book that took the world by storm....In his fifth year at Hogwart's, Harry faces challenges at every turn, from the dark threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be- Named and the unreliability of the government of the magical world to the rise of Ron Weasley as the keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team. Along the way he learns about the strength of his friends, the fierceness of his enemies, and the meaning of sacrifice. ...more
[2] ... Review | As his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry approaches, 15-year-old Harry Potter is in full-blown adolescence, complete with regular outbursts of rage, a nearly debilitating crush, and the blooming of a powerful sense of rebellion. It's been yet another infuriating and boring summer with the despicable Dursleys, this time with minimal contact from our hero's non-Muggle friends from school. Harry is feeling especially edgy at the lack of news from the magic world, wondering when...more
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-27 Summary: Excellent ... "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" starts out with Harry Potter, back at the Dursleys' for summer break. The Durseleys have not changed and are still not nice to Harry. Then, a flying ford filled with Weasleys shows up and Harry is off to visit with the Weasleys utill school starts. The author manages to change the story line quite a bit from the first HP book and we are immersed in another series of Harry Potter adventures. This time, the dangers get a bit more sophisticated. Eventually, all ends well. While ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-04 Summary: Thrills, Chills, Ill Wills & The Wiz Kids' Sleuthing Skills ... A wonderful sequel to "Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone". The first book introduced the reader to the world of wizardry. While Ms. Rowling's debut work was filled with wonderment, suspense and gee-whiz fun, the second installment is a little darker. It also answers a few questions which remained dangling at the end of The Sorcerer's Stone. In addition, colorful, new characters are introduced; some of the familiar characters are fleshed out more; and fresh mysteries pertaining to the whole Hogwarts' realm make ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-06 Summary: Step 2 in a 7 step program ... After reading the first book and diving headfirst into this one (like I did) you notice how the story itself is so well put together because it's like there was never a seperation. This starts where book 1 left off. And unlike book 1, where you can tell the main focus of the story was to develop who it is you're reading about and get planted into their lives, this book begins the slow yet ultimately satisfying dark plunge that the series as a whole is going to take. During and after reading this you will come to understand ...more

[2] ... Review | It's hard to fall in love with an earnest, appealing young hero like Harry Potter and then to watch helplessly as he steps into terrible danger! And in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , the much anticipated sequel to the award-winning Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone , he is in terrible danger indeed. As if it's not bad enough that after a long summer with the horrid Dursleys he is thwarted in his attempts to hop the train to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...more
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-27 Summary: A very good read. ... Well, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is longer than the first two HP books, but not better. I suppose that we have lost a bit of our wonder at Harry's world, but this book seems to be a slight let down from the high levels we enjoyed in the first two books. Nevertheless, we have a totally different start to this book than we had in the previous books. Rowling continues to feed our curiosities by supplying new and different experiences and new twists and turns in the HP story. With the introduction to Sirius ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-16 Summary: Brilliant Sequel ... J.K. Rowlings never lets her readers down Harry's quest to be happy stays alive in this book. Also, he gets to meet the only family he has left which makes Harry very Happy at the end of this sequel!!!! ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-10 Summary: Harry Potter ... This series is fun for kids and adults. My son and I are reading it together! ...more
Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | Harry Potter has to sneak back to Hogwarts, after accidentally inflating his horrible Aunt Petunia. But once there everyone is whispering about a prizoner who has escaped from the famous wizard prizon, Azkaban. His name is Sirius Black, and as a follower of Lord Voldemort he is determined to track Harry Potter down -- even if it means laying siege to the very walls of Hogwarts! ...more
[2] ... Review | For most children, summer vacation is something to look forward to. But not for our 13-year-old hero, who's forced to spend his summers with an aunt, uncle, and cousin who detest him. The third book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series catapults into action when the young wizard "accidentally" causes the Dursleys' dreadful visitor Aunt Marge to inflate like a monstrous balloon and drift up to the ceiling. Fearing punishment from Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon (and from officials at Hogwarts School...more
Harry Potter Schoolbooks Box Set: From the Library of Hogwarts: Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, Quidditch Through The Ages
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-21 Summary: My son (10 y/o) can't get enough Harry Potter ... My son finished these books in about 2 days. I wish they had been longer, as I can't seem to find books that he likes as well as Harry Potter. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-16 Summary: Good Addition To a Harry Potter Collection ... The Harry Potter Schoolbooks are written as if they really came from the wizarding world. The box set contains just too books which are around 50-70 pages long each, but include interesting back-story about the world of Harry Potter with respect to beasts and Quidditch. The books are inexpressive and also 20% of the cost should go to charity. I would really like to see more schoolbooks come out now that the seventh book in the series has been written. Half-Blood Prince's Potions book anyone? ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-06 Summary: A special peek into the world of Harry Potter. ... These books are a unique gift from the ever creative mind of J. K. Rowling. For the avid Harry Potter enthusiast, these book give you a new perspective on the Harry Potter world. For the Harry Potter fan, the books are well written and fun to read. In addition, I loved the hand written notes from Harry and Ron. Very funny and lots of fun. ...more

Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-27 Summary: Great Read ... I am an obsessive Harry Potter fan, and a 3rd year spanish speaker. I've read the first book almost too many times to count, and decided to mix it up a bit and give my self a challenge (my parents didn't want me to waste my time reading it again.) I've been keeping my english copy, dictionary, and notepad close to learn new vocab. I feel that reading this has been a great way to get better at spanish quicker. Slowly but surley, I've been using my english copy less and less. I reccomend it for anyone who wants to get ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-01-19 Summary: Excellent!!! ... Being that it was used and the price was great, I just couldn't pass it up. The book was in excellent condition and looked new and my aunt loved it, being from Mexico and unable to get a lot of these books, she was so happy to have received it and can't wait for the other ones. Thank you for making her Christmas memorable. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-04-11 Summary: Great for enjoyment and for the classroom ... I've read all the Harry Potter books in English, and I've always wanted to read them in Spanish, since I teach Spanish. I am currently teaching lower-level Spanish classes, one of which is the highest level of the lower levels. We are reading "La piedra filosofal" as a class, and, although my students are at different levels, the benefit to reading it is that they all know the story in English, and that helps their comprehension tremendously. Some students are moving slower than others, but they're really enjoying ...more

Harry Potter y las reliquias de la muerte (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Spanish Edition)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-14 Summary: Harry Potter y las reliquias de la muerte. ... Puedo decir que el libro me tuvo en suspenso todo el tiempo de principio a fin. Demas esta decir que lo lei en 3 dias. Me gusto mucho la parte en donde el profesor Snape brinda informacion sobre su niñez y el por que de tratar de esa manera a Potter al igual que puedo entender mejor otras partes de los libros anteriores.

Harry Potter Hardcover Box Set (Books 1-6)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-01 Summary: Great Reading ... These are wonderful books, I purchased this set to replace the paperbacks I originally purchased. The paperbacks were a waste of money, the larger volumes started falling apart after the 2nd reading. My children started reading these and could not put them down I couldn't believe I had to tell the boys twin 11 year olds to stop reading and go out to play for a while. I had to purchase the hard covers because I know we will re-read this series many times over. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-23 Summary: Harry Potter Books 1-6 Box Set ... This item is AWESOME!!! I purchased the seventh year book in stores before i bought this and spent $34 for a hardback.
