Amazon.com Review:
Young wizard-in-training Harry Potter has had his hands full during his first four years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As if studying spells and pleasing professors isn’t enough, Harry has heard evil voices in the walls, rescued petrified students, fended off convicts escaped from wizards’ prison, and played elaborate and grueling games of Quidditch. Between school sessions, he summers with the horrendous Dursleys, who seem to want nothing more than to crush our hero’s spirit. Only time will tell how Harry will manage the certain dangers and escapades in store for him over the next few years.
The first four titles of J.K. Rowling’s phenomenally popular series are now available–in paperback–in a handy boxed set, perfect for the legions of children whose big brothers and sisters have made off with their copies. These adventures are surely on the road to becoming classics; don’t wait to collect them! The set includes Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. (Ages 9 and older)

Great Set of Books by Janis N
I wanted to have the hard copies of these books to pass on to my kids and this is an excellent collection.
Worth reading, overall, by
I read these books when I was about nine or ten. And I was totally, utterly, and completely in love.
And then I reread them now as twelve year old, and they have degraded. The plot and the characters are ultimately lovable, though it becomes a bit too repetitive in the fifth and sixth book. But I’m actually quite proud of how the characters have developed from the first one; they are 3D, dimensional, lovable, and almost believable. (though I find Draco Malfoy is just too…cliche-bad-boy-unbelievable)
It’s mostly J.K. Rowling’s writing style. I like fresh, appealing descriptions, not so much the “and there was a chair in the room and a small boy and another boy and…” (Okay, I just made that sentence up. But still. I find that to sorta be her style… lists and not descriptions.)
Still, if not just for the characters - I’d read it.
Don’t you dare put it down! by Christine
WOW- I absolutly FELL IN LOVE with these books, and all because of how good the first one was. Some people may say that if you read the first couple of pages of a book, and it doesn’t really “light your fire” then don’t bother with the rest. I BEG to differ! The first chapter of Harry Potter #1 might make little sense to one, until you have read farther along into it. I know I didn’t really “get it” at first, but I kept reading. So don’t listen to those people who say don’t bother!
Because this is one of the best series of books ever written. Right up there with “The Hobbit”- that’s something big. And for those who are worried about their children learning bad lessons from Harry, about sneaking around, keeping secrets, witchcraft?!?!, ; people, just relax. Don’t over anyalse it, (it’s a BOOK! not some devil worshipping cult, I still can’t get over how some people are so prejeduced against it and won’t even read it because they think it will “corrupt their children” and think that Harry Potter will lead them down the not-so-primrosed path. Qualities of loyalty, honour, love, friendship, and good against evil are very prominent, and clear to see in these books.
I think everyone will enjoy these books entirely! They’re not just children’s books, they’re books that everyone can read and benefit from.
If I could rate this book ( and it’s series ) as 10 stars, I would!
simply the best… by cindyLYRA
cant help but to give two thumbs up…it’s nice to read a story about a mother’s love, great friendship, story with a twist and humor and most especially with a plot and setting that definitely would take your imaginations to the highest level in one package…so hold on to your seats and be ready for the stories that this extraordinaire would leave you spellbound!!!
