This book was great, it had comedy, fantasy, action, and so much adventure to keep your nose in the book. If you liked the first one, you'll love this, it's even better. Great imaginative story, J.K. Rowling!

I found the Harry Potter books to be very good reads. Every book was fascinating. There is no reason anybody who reads these books will not enjoy them. I, personally, read #1 five times, #2 six, #3 three, and a read #4 a wopping ten times. I never get tired of them. I anxiosly await the arrival of #5. The Harry Potter books recieve a 5, for being suspensful, fantastic, all-around good reads.
Bridie Thompson (06/19/02)

I found this both interesting and boring JK Rowling has a talent, but in the begining of all her books she takes too long to get to the real exciting bits. I must say the best book out of the collection is prisoner of Azkaban. It was like a mystery you were not sure which person was the real murderer. I'm not saying Rowling is bad, but I believe at the end of every chapter, there should be more suspense.
Keep writting.
