Book Description

Amazon.com Review
Young wizard-in-training Harry Potter has had his hands full during his first three 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 magicians' 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 three titles--in paperback--of J.K. Rowling's phenomenally popular series are now available 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, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter

Fantasy is not reality,
By A Customer
This review is from: Harry Potter Hardcover Boxed Set (Books 1-3) (Hardcover)
JK Rowling has exquisite talent using the English language to weave a fabulous tale within the genre of fantasy. As a parent, former elementary teacher and current professor, I recommend this book to all with the reminder that it is not reality - it is fantasy! Take joy and fly on the imaginary flight Rowling offers us as Harry soars above evil characters unwilling to look within themselves. Our hero strives to keep happiness, joy, and unconditional acceptance of others as the norm for his life. My 9 year old son, who is thoroughly bored with the basal reading of one story per week in class, had given up on reading. He said he hated it! Then, I brought home Harry Potter, began reading it aloud and stopped at a particularly climactic point. What happened next? Well, hours later on my way to bed, my son was nose deep in the book! Several nearly sleepless nights later, he finished the first and begged for more. Do I think these books are evil? Absolutely not. And, yes, we are church goers; my husband is in ministry! We are all anxiously awaiting book four. Just hope it comes out after I've graded all of my papers! I predict generations of fame for JK Rowling in these neo classics akin to CS Lewis.

Thank You J.K. Rowling,

This review is from: Harry Potter Hardcover Boxed Set (Books 1-3) (Hardcover)
I haven't sat down and read a book for quite a while. It used to be romance, then horror/suspense. It got to the point that I could figure out the ending before finishing the first chapter. Then, my eight year old daughter came home from school and said that her teacher was reading a book to them in class. I asked which one and she replied, "Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone." I said that was nice and asked her if she liked it. "Yes", she said, "Can you get it for my birthday"? Well, to make it short, I did get it for her but I read it first because of the few reports that I've heard about it. I had that book read in less than 12 hours and I wished that I had had "The Chamber of Secrets" on my bookshelf. I was so impressed with this story that I am reading it again, only this time, aloud with my daughter. The funny thing about this is that I bought this paperback version for her birthday and my mother who was at her party told me that I shouldn't have bought it because she had bought the entire hardcover set for us as a Christmas present. She went on to say that she had to find out what all the fuss was about and read the first one which led to the second one and then the third. She can't wait until the fourth one and so forth. She and I believe that these books will go down in history as one of the best all time favorites for children and adults alike. One last note, my father who hasn't sat down and read a book in over 25 years has read all three books and is also awaiting the fourth. Thank you J.K. Rowlings for putting the reading back into our family.

Incredible Books!,

This review is from: Harry Potter Hardcover Boxed Set (Books 1-3) (Hardcover)
I'm 19 years old, and yet I find myself captivated by these tales of a young wizard! Harry is an incredible hero, and he's kept me enthralled for weeks. I've been neglecting my schoolwork in order to read about Harry, but it's worth it! Only 4 more books...they can only get better!
