When my then 9 year old daughter kept telling me about her all time favoured book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, I usually smiled at her beningly and said 'yes, honey, when I have the time', while remembering how enthusiastic I could get over books at this tender age. I did not even get suspicious that this book ...  Read the complete review

It makes me so angry that people can slam this book, or the whole series before reading it. And what make me even madder if people who wont give them a try.. I mean for goodness sake, a book does not sell over 100 million copies worldwide for a reason. And finally it is usually a fact that the book is ALWAYS better than the film. Dont get me ...  Read the complete review

JK Rowling tells a good story but wraps plot lines up too hastily; great imagination, so-so writing - Advantages: undeniably enjoyable - Disadvantages: but a wee bit overrated

I started reading the Harry Potter books after seeing the film. I must sat I enjoyed the film. It was much more detailed. U get a better understanding of Harry's background before he went to Hogwarts (The school of magic) as well as learning more about Hogwarts in general. I love the way that the book unravels slowly giving the story a ...  Read the complete review

I first hated Harry Potter. All that hype over a stupid little book about some wizard, I mean, who'd want to read abut that? Me, it turned out. I got my first read of a Harry Potter book on a dark skegness night. My cousin (whom was staying with me) had brought the latest addition to the series (...and the goblet of fire) and I ...  Read the complete review

I had several amazing gifts for my 21st birthday, but none kept me entertained so long as this little gem! I recieved the boxed set of the Harry Potter books from my friend, and although this review is technically about the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone, I have to recommend that you read them all! The Philosopher's ...  Read the complete review

I'm a primary school teacher and have therefore read a lot of children's books in the course of the job. Harry Potter is definitely my favourite! It has all the right elements for a great story, such as fantastic settings, interesting characters - both good and evil - and lots of adventure. The thing that sets it apart for me though, it ...  Read the complete review

I feel I have to be frank. This book is about a trainee wizard called Harry Potter, who discovers that he has a magical background, when sent letters from the head of Hogwarts (school of magic); Albus Dumbledore. The family with whom he lives, are the type of people obsessed with their neighbours possessions, and are led by a battleaxe called ...  Read the complete review

Wow! This is one of my favourite books. Centering on the story of Harry, a boy who discovers on his eleventh birhday that he is a wizard and has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I read this book to a eight year old and a five year old before all the hype arose, and it amazed me that this book was enjoyed by all three of us, ...  Read the complete review

Harry Potter has become a phenomenon. The story of a boy who discovers that he is anything but normal has gripped the world. Die hard fans want to know everything about Harry's magical world - they study every sentence thoroughly, hoping to find a hidden message or meaning. Parents are amazed that they, too, can be gripped by the exciting ...  Read the complete review

OK so I have finally given in to the temptation of reading the Harry Potter books. I had originally assumed that they were books written exclusively for children, but when my sister (35), aunt (70+) and mom (also70+) have all read them and enjoyed them I wanted to know what I was missing. I'm like that you see, I don't like to think ...  Read the complete review

For a start may I say that I am 21 years old and haven't read a book quite like this in Years! I must say congratulations to Ms. Rowling for opening my imagination again, like it was opened by Roald Dahl when I was younger! I had read all about the hype surrounding these series of books, I was amazed and delighted to hear that such a ...  Read the complete review

It took me a couple of years to pluck up enough courage in order to go down that much trodden road of the Potter series. When I finally did pack my wand, invisibility cloak and pet owl, I was somewhat guilty that it had taken me so long. This book is a gem of childrens literature, a feeling not uncommonly expressed by Potterites all over the ...  Read the complete review

Hey guys, I’m new here and I have not really had that much experience. Apart from my sister Partay she is so good at writing so I hope you enjoy mine as much as you enjoy hers. Jk Rolling is an author for both children and adult because in her books she is absolutely brilliant and could entertain anyone. Harry Potter and the ...  Read the complete review

Even if you haven't read one of JK Rowling's books, or have never even heard of her, you will be amazed at the effort and well thought out ideas that JK Rowling has sort of moulded together to form one spectacular book. This book is one of four books she has written and whom has sold many, many copies of. The quality and content of this ...  Read the complete review

Ok fresh off of the Pokemon craze I lunge into a new one and like the last craze the thing that started it all is a stroke of genius. Pokemon Red and Blue are amazing and out of this world but all the propaganda that followed it was a bunch of useless tat. Harry Potter is the same as the collection of books is outstanding especially the first. ...  Read the complete review

I do not want to bore you with a long winded and fluffy account of Harry Potter. Chances are that if you are reading this review you have already read the book and so why would I waste my time with writing a narrative? No, I am going to voice my opinion as the good people of dooyoo tell you to do. I am now 17. I read Harry Potter and the ...  Read the complete review

I am pretty sure that by now everyone is well acquainted with the phenomenon that is Harry Potter by J.K Rowling. There are several books and still yet more to come. There are currently four out in bookshops all over the place. They are: (i) "The Philosopher's Stone" (ii) "The Chamber Of Secrets" (iii) ...  Read the complete review

For months I somehow managed to escape the Harry Potter hype. I saw the books in the supermarket and heard some vague gossip about the struggling single mum who made her millions writing the first book in a dingy café, but although I’m an avid reader, I haven’t picked up a children’s book in at least ten years. It wasn’t ...  Read the complete review
