I am 16 years old and I find Harry Potter books absolutely amazing. As a child I have loved to read, however, over the past 4 years I almost 'grew out' of reading, until I read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I would like to thank J.K. Rowling for re-introducing me to the world of reading. Harry's adventures and live are easy to relate to which makes it a great read for any age group. He deals with the same every day problems that people experience. I have also read the Philosopher's Stone and the Goblet of Fire. I did however, find that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was not as well written as the other books. Recent generations are surrounded by the media and this is the first 'trend' to come along in years that is not media based. I hope the J.K Rowling continues to write Harry Potter books and that the story lines don't wind their way into a television program. I also recommend the short books written for charity that Rowling has published. Happy reading to all!

Harry Potter books are one of the best books. It is full of Wizardry, magic, and Witchcraft. J.K. Rowling is one of the most talented writer. The four books are for all ages. If you haven't read this book, I recommend you to. I heard of it because my friends have been reading it. I keep finding it in a store. I first find it boring, but when I started to read it, I couldn't put it down. I haven't finish it yet. After I do, I'll read the 1st, 3rd and 4th. I want my whole family to know about it. There's the book "Who's the Worst Witch of Them All?" It's for Harry Potter fans. I'll like to read it after I finish all the Harry Potter. Although I haven't finish all the book, I'm writing a story about the girl and the similar things happened to her.

I thought all of the Harry Potter books were great. I still have yet to read the third book. I have already read a chapter of it and I already want to read it so much. I also want to say to Jenni that we are entitled to our own opinions so here is mine. If you didn't like the Harry Potter books at all then don't write reviews about them. Let other people find out for themselves. Anyway I hope that I get to read the third book of Harry Potter's series soon.

Few writers have the ability to make up fictional people in magical worlds and still be able to make you believe that if you just did what the characters did, you too, could get to this wonderful place. Before I only knew of Ronald Dahl. Now I have been lucky enough to read works by J.K Rowling, who, as so many people, has had me believing that with a simple swish of a wand, magical stuff can happen. Thank you.

Well, what can I say I don't really read many books at all but as soon as I picked up the book I was amazed I really got into it, I don't think I put it down for more than 15 minutes until I finished it, for a 17 year old boy there isn't much time for books but for me all I can say is "bring em all to me" cant wait till I see the film.

Jasmine
I love to read Harry potter books because it seems like everything that happens to Harry happens to us. When ever I read any Harry Potter books I always want to read on and on and see what happens to Harry. There's always something magical happening to Harry. I hope I get all the Harry Potter books so I can read them over and over again.

I'm 13 years old I don't like to read very much. I heard about Harry Potter and that is was very good so started reading and couldn't stop. It is a great book about magic and mystery. I love how the book is written. I would recommend this book to all ages.
