Brittany and Hailey
We thought that this book was the best. When I read the Harry Potter books it seems like I am one of the characters and I'm swiped up in the book. I can never put it down. I want so much for it to be real because Harry seems like someone I'd like], but I know it's not real.

I would like to say that all of the Harry Potter books are great. I love how J.K. Rowling makes all the books so descriptive. My first thought of Harry Potter was, yuk. I had always thought that the books were babyish, but I soon saw it differently. My boy-friend had told me that the Harry Potter books were excellent. He said that I should read them. So, when school started this year, I took out the first book. I was automatically attached to them. I got the 4th book for Christmas and finished it in 3 weeks. I loved it. I can't wait to find out if Voldemort finds Harry again. I already know what the fifth book is . Harry Potter and the Order of the Phenoix. Keep up the good work . Keep writing good Harry Potter books!

First I want to say al 4 books were very well writhen. Maybe the first and 4:th book were the best ones. I particularly like how you mix the fantasy (magic, wizards) and the reality (muggles, telephones in our reality). In other books they have tried to mix this but I have to say it didn't work out so well (lousy)). You bring to life excellent environments. I have never managed to figure out who the evil person was (in any of the books), but after 3-4 books you recognize your plot, how you built your story. I can't wait fore the fifth book.


Jon
I think that the book was very well written, like all the Harry Potter books. The fourth book was different from all the others in the way that it did not have a happy ending. He escaped Voldemort, but now he is back in power and threatening people again. I liked the part about Quidditch, because it is sort like soccer and I am a huge soccer fan. I think that football is very stupid next to the best sport in the world, soccer. I like Dean because he is one of the only people in Hogwarts to like soccer. I think that the magic in the Harry Potter books appeals to all people, that is why they are so popular.


Cindy Lanus
I think that the books J.K. Rowling writes are very good. I won't say I'm a very loyal fan but I have read all the books and the fourth is the best. I really like her talent for inspiring young and adult readers. and the suspense all the books have. all I can say is I'm waiting for the fifth book.


Joshua
Here is my rating on the Harry Potter Books.
Sorcerer's Stone: Excellent
Chamber of Secrets: One of the best books I read
Prisoner of Azkaban:Totally Awesome
Goblet of Fire: The best so far.
But sad at what happens at the end. J.K. Rowling should not have done what she did. Other then that it was good.


Lihao
I think that Harry Potter is a really great book. I have never been so attracted to a story book like this before. Once I started reading the first book , I could not control myself but to borrow the second book from my friends . I'm really looking forward to reading the third and forth book . Hopefully by the time I finished reading these two books , the fifth book would be out.


Ricardo
I read the second book and I loved it!!! I loved the part when every time Dobby would almost tell Harry Potter something too important he would hit himself, it was HILARIOUS!!! Thank you for making the Harry Potter books J.K.Rowling. P.S. YOU ARE SO COOL.
