I must say that the Harry Potter books are some of the best I have ever read. They really let you use your imagination.

Here I am, a 40 year old working stiff. Now I am madly in love with the world of Hogwarts. The book makes you feel apart of Harry's unyeilding search for the truth, and his own identity. All he knows is that in the past he is resposible for something that people think is the greatest thing since sliced bread. You almost feel yourself walking the halls of Hogwarts, sitting beside him and his friends in the great hall and cheering in the stands as Harry wins an all important battle for the cup. I almost was brought to tears at the end when Harry realized he was not alone and finally had a connection to his parents, and that he now had a sense of just who James and Lily were. I finished the third book and could only wait a couple of hours, and guess what I was heading back to Hogwarts in next book, Bravo, for a truly wonderful adventure that a 4o year old father could dive into as easily as a 13 year old teenager has. She got me hooked on Potter and now my two other sons are reading the adventure.

This book is FANTASTIC! I cannot believe all the people that made such a fuss about these books. I had to wait in line after my son to read these books, but they've kept my interest so high, I didn't mind the wait. I enjoy ALL the Harry Potter books so much, my husband went out to Barnes and Noble and bought me the next volume in hard cover just because of the excitement I have when I give a brief outline of the books. I say PHOOEY to anyone who thinks that Harry Potter books are bad for kids...if 'I' enjoy them at age 38 and see NO reason not to like them, then know that they are fantistically written and great entertainment for all!!
