It's a great book
Sal

Harry Potter is great for the youh of today, I have read many off the reveiws posted and feel very sorry for the children who's parents thought Harry Potter is not appropriate reading, Stating that ''Children will think the only way to get their way is to break rules and use magic''. What rubbish! Harry potter has underlying messages of comradary, friendship loyalty and struggle to do the rigt thing.

I have also read the term ''Literary Filth'' posted on this reveiw board, what on earth is this guy talking about? He states he has read al 4 Potter book and struggled to keep them up, whers as on the contary millions of adults and children all over the world can barley put it down including me! If they are that bad then why on earth did he read all 4 books?

I think he is just jelous that he didn't think of it first!

Any way Harry potter inspired me to read and I haven,t stopped since! Can't wait for order of the Phenix it is going to be the best yet.

Happy reading!TextText
