This book was fabulous. I'm 15 years old and when I first started to read the series I was in grade seven. I loved the philosophers stone and I continued to read the rest of the series. Now I am on the fourth book.....on my third time reading them! I reccomend this book to anyone. My whole family reads it.

I think this book was really cool, and it's great for people around 9 and up,because if you'r bellow this age you will probaly get confused .But the movie is great for almost all ages,and I can't wait till the movie comes out.

I thought this book was really cute, and I recommend it to everyone. It's easy to read and easy to understand.

This is a great book for adults and kids alike. It has made a lot of children start reading and I think that is great. Any story that helps tear children and students away from the television screen is good in my book.
