I haven't read such a thought out and well written book like this in AGES!! Harry Potter really captivates your mind and draws you into the story. these books are truly unique and beautiful. I CAN'T wait for the next one!!!


Rob
I'd just like to compliment Ms. Rowling on such an extremely awesome book. I'm 14, and I read all three books in ONE MONTH!!! They were the best books I've ever read. I hope the next comes out extremely soon!


Lindsay
Oh my gosh! This was the best book I have ever read. Other than the other two of course. I can't wait until the next ones come out. These books have 2 b the most popular books since who knows when. I mean I can't even remember any book or book series that have ever been popular at all. So READ THESE BOOKS!!!!!!!!! My mom is even reading them! I congratulate J.K Rowling for her first big success.

Miss Rowling is a very emotional writer. She must have been a wild kid, with all the unexpected twists in this book. It has the usual action/adventurer, horror, and sci-fi, but here there is something new- drama. The hope, love, and determination set this book apart from the others. If I hadn't read it, I would've thought this review was baloney. Anyway, if you haven't read it, and you want to find out what it's like, then why aren't you in a bookstore? You won't be disappointed! READ IT!


Dan
This has to be the best book by this author and, one of the best books I have ever read.


Maegan
I think that this is one of the best Harry Potter books yet. Though I know that she will make better ones than this one. I can't wait to read it again and to read her next books.

My ten year old daughter, Katrina, has all three Harry Potter books. She's starting on the third now, and recently twisted my arm to begin the Sorcerer's Stone. It's great escapist fun and the characters are easy to relate to, with strong personalities. Rowling has a wonderfully creative imagination. The nature of the story reminds me a little of one of my favorite books, Something Wicked This Way Comes, by Ray Bradbury. At 45, I may be one of the oldest Harry Potter fans! (Some kids just don't grow up.)


Ellen Pelkin
I am 46 years old, and one of the best gifts I received this Christmas was Prisoner of Azkaban. I am pleased to give this book an enthusiastic A++++! Parents...if you haven't yet discovered the fantastic world of Harry Potter, don't delay. What an opportunity to share something delightful with your children! It is with joy that I place these books in my "favorites" collection along with J.R. Tolkien and Brian Jacques. Read... and Enjoy!
