I thought that this was by far the best book I have ever read. I thought that it was really amazing when they found out that Professor Snape was just trying to protect Harry all along. I never expected that to happen. I also like the way the book is written. It …more

I read the hobbit a while ago, and my twenty two year old cousin gave me the first two Potter books to read. At first I thought the book was going to be boring, and about the second chapter I just couldn't put it down. I gave it to my mother to read, and now …more

I think it is very interesting book, because there are adventures, surprise and magic. I read this book translated into Polish (I'm from Poland) and I know this is why there are many differences. On my opinion it's wonderful book!

I thought the book was the best I ever read. It was smart, funny, and imaginative When I first saw this book in the school book fair, I decided I would read it because I couldn't find anything else. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down!

I think that J.K. Rowling is one of the most talented writers out there. She has an extraordinary imagination and knows what children likes to read. One of the things that I like most about her books, is that you'll never know what's going to happen next because a …more

I loved this book, and all the Harry Potter book is how Rowling uses the element of surprise. We learn in this first book in the series their style of writing: keep you confused until the end and shock the pants off you. The concept for the Harry Potter book is very …more

My favorite book out of all the Harry Potter books is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. When first started the book I thought it was very confusing and even a little boring because of all the events that were going on. But, after the first few chapters I was …more

When I heard that my friends were reading 'Harry Potter' books, I was amazed because they looked childish and boring. My friends assured me, however, that the books were excellent, though I remained rather skeptical. It wasn't until I received three 'Harry …more

I love Harry Potter but I found that this book was the least intriguing out of all of them. It didn't grab me as much as the others. It was way to much like book one Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone. I would give it a 3.5 out of five

I am 16 years old and I find Harry Potter books absolutely amazing. As a child I have loved to read, however, over the past 4 years I almost 'grew out' of reading, until I read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I would like to thank J.K. Rowling for re-introducing …more

Few writers have the ability to make up fictional people in magical worlds and still be able to make you believe that if you just did what the characters did, you too, could get to this wonderful place. Before I only knew of Ronald Dahl. Now I have been lucky enough …more
