I personally found this book to be the best of all as it has some of the most surprising twists in it. This book is longer so it pulls in more reading time. Enjoy

I'm an 18 year old French girl, who don't understand why adult people make such a fuss about reading 'children book'. I really enjoyed the four books, and I'm not going to wait until the French translation of the next - I know I'll buy it in original version. To those who don't understand why some people - like myself - are so in love with these stories, I'd say just let it be. Let the people love what they want to love. Even after reading the Goblet of Fire, The Prisoner of Azkaban is still my favourite, for in this one Harry enters his parents' world, and meets their friends, their past; I love the two characters we meet, Professor Remus Lupin and his old friend, Sirius Black. One of my friends told me she didn't like the explanation moment, when Harry decides to believe Sirius' story. Personally, I love it, it's really a strong moment, full of meanings. I'm not very good when I try to say how I feel, so thank you for reading me and have all a good day.

As with the other Harry Potter books, readers will not be disappointed. I am a 34yr old mother of 2, and I read the first book to check to see if appropriate to give to my kids (age 9 and 11) from that day I was hooked. It is absolutely appropriate in my opinion. This book is fantasy, pure and simple, and is a riveting read. Is there reference to death and violence? yep. Is it done in a way that it is glorified, that it makes children want to kill? Not at all. the "Jenni's for Jesus" from below need to stop being such brainwashed zealots and look at the book for what it is. A fantasy that is exciting enough to pull people from their gameboys and playstations, and READ! I loved escaping from the world for a few hours and playing Quidditch with Harry. and a personal note to Jenni--Honey, before you cast fire and brimstone on JKR, look at your own house: you champion a book written by men, under the influence of "divine spirits" who wrote about adultery, infanticide, genocide, holocaust, sodomy, STD's (woman at the well) bigamy etc etc. It's your Bible. You live with it. Your diatribe doesn't belong here. Leave the rest of us out of it.

All the books that I read in this series are edge of your seat action. they were so good I couldn't put them down at all. especially the third one. I was on the edge of my seat on that one, right until the very end. I have yet to read the 4th book. the first book took me two days to read and I loved every minute of it and I really want to read the 5th book already!!. My family has read the series already, I'm the last one to read the series. I'm also a Christian and I also think the Harry potter series is fun and exciting reading. I have read the Harry potter books when I'm bored and after that I can't put it down, it's sooo edge of your seat action, I would recommend this book who gets bored really easily!

This book is so great. And I never feel bored to read this book everyday. It's hard to close this book if you haven't finish to read it.

Yo Jenni!Ok first of all, violence is not right but if you're teaching that this is wrong and in which Harry does in this book and as long as it not very descriptive or gruesome in which it's not, it's all right. Hope you get what I'm saying. By the way I loved Harry in all of his adventures. This book is so cool 'cause of how they use time. You should get a copy somewhere. Jess
JenniI am quite disappointed that you have no conflicting comments on these books. I am sure you have received quite a few. I have a hard time understanding how a word like morally could be used to describe a series of books such as these. With two children who have been involuntary subjected to these books through the public school system, I believe that we have a right to have our voices heard also. We need to make known that these books are immoral and that there are alternatives out there. I read an excerpt from just one of her books and it left me feeling very shocked that we as a society feel that this is ok. Not just OK, but totally acceptable. We complain about violence on TV and then we go and allow the public school system to read this stuff to our children and say that kind of violence is alright. EXCUSE ME! I am kind of baffled by that one. I know that some of you will say that I am baffled just because of what I am saying. But guess what, I have just as much right to be heard as all of you. Remember this is a free country. At this point I am so glad that I chose not to let my children be subjected to this kind of literature. I would caution all other parents also to first check it out and then make a decision. As for the Author, I am praying that you will come to the Knowledge that Jesus Christ is God and that He died on the cross for you, Joanne Rowling. And that He loves you very much! I have no bad feelings towards Joanne, Jesus loves her just as much as He loves me. He created Joanne for a purpose, and the purpose is for her writing gifting that He gave her to glorify Him. I am also praying that this letter just might get at least one person thinking and stop them from reading or allowing their children to read these books. You know people say it is only a book, how much effect can it have.
