If you have already read the first two books you will be no doubt hooked and read on. Let me assure you it is the best in the series yet. Harry has grown up a little perhaps and there are some terrific surprises that have been hiding away since the first two books! I am 36 years old and I have to say that you need to concentrate at the end of the book otherwise you may get lost! Read it - can't wait for the next one.

I really enjoyed all three of the Harry Potter books. It has been the best story I have read in a long time. I think they should come out with a movie series. I would definitely enjoy watching them.

At first when I read this story I thought it was going to be one of those books that are really boring. But after I started understanding the book and what was happening I found myself not wanting to stop reading this book. I was like mom stop interrupting, for me I was always myself interesting part and I just had to know what was going to happen next. I really loved the book. Thank You for entertaining me with such a fantastic book!

I think the author has a vivid imagination and did a great job transferring them onto paper. These books are one of the best books I have ever read.

Harry Potter is the most amazing book we've ever read. Miss Rowling's books have us dreaming about Harry and Hogwarts. We simply devour the Harry Potter books and can't get enough! But why are there only 4 more books? Oh well, the magic of Harry Potter will forever be remembered by us! Congratulations to Joanne K. Rowling! Please PLEASE keep up the good work! Bye now!

I teach 4th grade and read this book aloud to my students. They absolutely loved it! They were begging me to read the next book, but some parents in our school district complained about the content so now we are not allowed to read them aloud any more. My own son read the first book and was so engrossed in it. He loved it also and couldn't wait to read the next one!

The three Harry Potter books are excellent I stay awake all night just to finish them them. Am disappointed that the book is over. They are very popular as well there is a 2 month waiting list at our local Library. And I am the type of person that reads to go to sleep and when ever I pick up an HP book I stay up all night and sleep in school. When I broke my leg in football practice is when I read my first one and haven't been able to stop since I beg the author to write a fourth one so this can continue The simple sentence structure makes it so I understand the whole book and the attention to detail is magnificent. I am on my fifth pot of coffee trying to finish Prisoner of Azkaban so see ya all and read them if you haven't all ready
