Lucy
I thought this book was fantastic! When I first hear of the Harry Potter books I though what is the big deal? Then I read the first and I slapped myself. The first book was great. All the Harry Potter books are great. I just recently finished read Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire and loved it! The ending was very surprising like when Lord Voldemort had risen again and Cedric Diggory died. I think that Ms. Rowling is one of the best children's author and she needs to keep up the great work.

I think that this is the best of all four HP books. It is very suspenseful and exciting. I think that everyone should read the HP books. The characters really come alive. I hope you find these books as wonderful as I did.

I have never read this type of books, what makes Harry potter so special is that its so different from the others. I really loved the first three books of Harry potter, my best one is "the chamber of secrets" the third one is great too but the ending is not that good, it didn't had that much suspense as the first too had. Anyways miss J.K Rowling, I really love your books and I can't wait to read the next one. Keep writing. Bye.

I think that this book is awesome! It keeps you on your feet the whole time, and you don't want to put it down! I thought that the end had a very nice twist and it left enough things to put into the seal! I hope that the rest of the books are this good!

This is by far the best Harry Potter book (of the four available to American readers). It is touching, and the story of Sirius Black and the Potter family is one of the most unexpected endings. With every turn of the page, and dart around a corner, there's something new and surprising. Just when you thought you had it planned out, Rowling deals out something absolutely different. This is one of my most favorite books. Go ROWLING!


Alison
The book let's you enter the magical world of Harry Potter. Forget your Thursday night television when you can't afford to do anything else. Harry's story is inexpensive and keep and keeps you entertained for hours. Don't miss it. Will Sirius Black conquer Harry?
You'll just have to read it to find out!

This was an awesome book, in the fun tradition of the other two, but with some other special element. I was most touched by the character of Sirius Black. He is just the father figure and link to the past that Harry needs.


Tara
I am 13 years old and I don't get a lot of time to sit down and relax but I always find time to read the Harry Potter series. I am on book three and I cant wait to read the 4th book. The series is great so keep on making 'em!!!
