Now I have been a Harry Potter fan my whole life, so i suppose this review is biased because i love everything Harry Potter related. From the books, to games, to the actors even. Harry Potter is a wonderful adventure that takes you to a magical place where there are things beyond your wildest imagination. J.k Rowling effectively designs a dream for children that is not only fun, heart-warming and different but teaches them certain values. Our hero and protagonist Harry is a complex but lovable boy with a good heart. Just a normal teenage boy going through puberty with the exception that he is a wizard. We grow to love him as we read and follow his ...  Read the complete review

JK Rowling has given children and adults alike something mind blowing to think about. this magical series of books and films, the attention to detail in the films is amazing from specks of dust on shelves to books in the shops in diagon alley the films have transformed the actors lives forever after a ten year spell the film franchise has finished but they are have now opened the studio tour (in London) and the theme park in America is so popular you have to queue for at least 45 minutes and the new pottermore website will let people sign up in early April. The films have definitely done the books justice. JK Rowling has sold over four hundred and fifty million copies ..  Read the complete review

Although these books are aimed at children - they truly are so great and exciting that I think many more adults would read them if it wasn't for the stigma that they are children's books !!  Which is a shame because they have impacted my life alot - they have such a variety of morals behind each story, and each book is so original and different from the last. J.K Rowlings ease of writting makes it thoroughly enjoyable to read, and Ron Hermione and Harry are depicted as such different characters and my favorite parts of any book are when the three of them are together..... They often have me in hysterics with Rowlings witty writting. The first two books - The ...  Read the complete review

As I grew up with Harry Potter I would say that the series became more than a book for me - each character containing their own personality and becoming even more 'fleshed out' with the films that were released. My favourite book was the Goblet of Fire as it contained such vivid imagery - from the fire breathing lions to the death of Cedric Diggory. I would also say that the books were targeted towards a child growing up with the books and as a result each book is more mature (and longer than the last). For this reason I would not recommend the later books for children, unless they have followed it avidly from the beginning. The initial novel is ...  Read the complete review

I am very lucky in that the whole Harry Potter adventure has been in my time and was an extremely influential part of my childhood, the first book 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' was first published in 1997, when I was 3 years old, when I was introduced to the story by my Mum. This may sound pathetic, but I can honestly not even remember a time when Harry Potter wasn't a part of my life and I have to admit that I have religiously followed all of the books, and then all of the movies. Part 2 of the 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' movie was released a little over a week ago now, and I feel as though a part of my childhood has gone forever. As ...  Read the complete review
