Harry Potter is probably the best book I've read in a long time. I'm a 22 year old college student and once I read the first book I just kept reading them and now I'm almost through the fifth book. Any child would love this book and should read it with their parents. It's a wonderful book to talk about and laugh at together!

THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS! IM DOING A REPORT ON J.K. ROWLING NOW!
Jeanine Rose-Marie

I'm 12. This book is AWESOME! It made ME want to be a wizard! I mean, I was totally engrossed. I wish that I could play Quidditch and fly on brooms. I sometimes practice some of the spells on my little brother! I couldn't put it down! I got all of the merchandise, too. I have Harry Potter sheets, toys, everything!!! If I was compelled to buy all of those things, than wowzers! You'll probably like it, too! I'm a very tough book credic, and I rarely think that most books are worth reading. You should also check out the book The View from Saturday by E.L. Konigsburg. It's really exciting, too! Once again, Harry Potter is part of my life! That's how good the book is!
