Roaz
First year university student and hooked! Takes me back to my love of reading authors like Dahl and Tolkien--the imagination in the Potter series is fantastic. It's been said many a time--but can't wait until the fourth is out! Keep on inspiring us, Ms. Rowling :)


Donald Duck
I think that the Harry Potter series is great. It is really helping my friend get through life. My friends name is John Hughes, he gets beat by his mom, ouch. I loved the book , bye.


M.R.Kraus
All three of Harry Potter's books have been delightful. Both my husband and myself are in our sixties and are looking forward to more Harry Potter books.


Judith
The first three Harry Potter books are pretty good, but I wonder if Ms. Rowling will be writing as well by the end of the series. I don't know what I'll do if one turns out to be dull and boring. And someone please tell WB not to ruin the movie of the books!!!

When my mom bought me this book I thought it was going to be boring, but once I read this book I couldn't stop. Of all the books I have ever read this is the best. now I always bug my mom for one. I give all of my thanks to MS.ROWLING for these great Harry Potter books! p.b.rogers '''' #1 fan! [. .] * [..] P.S.MY family loved it!


Sharon Haas
Harry Potter is a wonderful character! His loving nature really appealed to me and my child.Even though he has led a hard and uncertain life his willingness to believe in magic and his belief in himself shine through. When we heard that this was to be part of a 7 book series, my daughter moaned "Only 7?!" I feel exactly the same!


Thomas (Hipmonoli)
This is one of the most fantastic books in the history of the world. Its plot is so immensely complicated- it is so hard to put down. It is also quite scary, so beware.



Phil
HP and the chamber of secrets is a great read. When I read it I could hardly make myself put it down. It is suitable for all ages. This book is exciting, funny and full of mysteries. If you read it, I hope you enjoy it. Phil
