Cory
I thought that Harry Potter #1 was the best because then you met Harry and everything you needed to follow the rest of the story. And for all of the fantastic people. I have heard that she is coming out with a movie about Harry in the summer of either 2001 or 2002


Rei
The Harry Potter series are definitely on my list of books to read to my children which already includes Laurence Yep's Dragon of the Lost Sea series, The Chronicles of Narnia, and the Wrinkle in Time Series. Harry Potter is going down in history as a classic!


Jennica
I've read all the Harry Potter books, and I think they are great! At the end the most unexpected always happens! I can always relate with how the characters (Hermoine, Ron,and Harry) are feeling. Harry Potter is a wonderful series for readers of all ages.-Jennica


John
It was the second best book I have ever read. Spectacular. If anyone who hasn't read it should because it is packed with adventure, drama, surprises, and MAGIC. I recommend for anyone who has never sat down to read it, they should.


Allison
I loved the Harry Potter books, all three. Since reading the third one, I have been edging to get the 4th! Ms. Rowling is truly a wonderful author with a captivating imagination! I LOVE to read about Harry and his adventures, and hopefully someday I will be able to piece together a brilliant and delightful story like Ms. Rowling has done. I'm looking forward to reading the next 4 books in the series. From my perspective, Ms. Rowling is the greatest author :)


Eleanore
I think that this book was awesome ! I never wanted to put it down. This author is very creative and funny. I loved this book and the other ones, too. I can't wait till a fourth one comes out !


Frank
I think the books were awesome it makes you feel like your really there.


Kess
I have read all three books and loved them. They transported me to a magical place filled with adventure, comedy, and friendship. These are, by far, my favorite books of all time. If you haven't read them yet, do. I guarantee, you will love them.
