Thank You... Ms. J.K Rowling. You've finished the great works, and you deserve to get "congratulation" from the Muggle. Your Harry Potter is really bring me into the world outside of Us. I Hope in the some next year, I can see the Quidditch competition as Soccer Competion in FA Premier League. I wish Hogwarts Premier League is coming true. Cheers....!

I thought 'Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone was a brilliantly built book with excellent language. I would like to encourage Ms Rowling to continue writing with all heart and to 'never doubt your work'.

I'm desperate to get the next series, I've read the first two series, because the other series haven't been translated to Indonesian (I'm from Indonesia). I hope Ms Rowling won't stop writing after the 7th series. Long Live to J K Rowling and her Harry Potter Series, I wish some place like Hogwarth really exist

I started reading Harry Potter when all my schoolmates started to do so. I am a type of person who doesn't like reading books. When I read Harry Potter, I couldn't stop! Every part in this story is not boring. You find out things you never thought would have something to do with what will happen. I wouldn't want to mention who has something to do with the excitement of this book. I want all of you to find out yourself. Experience it! Harry Potter lives a life like any 11-year-old. He is so amazing! The book is great -there is comedy, fantasy, action, suspense and a feeling of great excitement and the feeling you're part of the book. Try it! I'm sure you'll love it!

I think that all the Harry Potter books are absolutely great!! Everyone keeps telling me that I'm reading children's books but I think that that is an understatement of the creativity that this books hold within it's pages. All four are great stories and an easy way to relax.

The book was great! Everyone loved it! We couldn't wait for the second, third, and fourth. Now we're eagerly anticipating the arrival of the fifth book. But, don't worry Rowling, your books are worth waiting for, even if it means waiting another eight months! You're an extremely talented writer; keep up the good work! A very loyal book club.

Hello, if you are here then you are either a fan or a "Harry Hater." This is to you, all you people who visit these sights looking for something or someone to make fun of, because they read Harry Potter books. For you, I will bet 100 dollars that you haven't read it. If you have, I will bet 1000 dollars that you are lying to your friends who haven't read it, telling them that it is a kids novel. Kids novel or no, it fills the number 1, 3, and 3 of the bestseller list. Obviously, you are in the minority. It is obviously not all kids who read the books, simply because it is nearly 300 pages long. It is obviously not all adults reading the book, because they are often made fun of by people like you. Still it fill the top three places. Provocative.
