This is a fun product for students of the recorder. The music is easy to play and gives a nice review at the beginning. Our recorder is red which my son loves! There are also pictures from the movies inside the book. He is currently taking recorder in school and this is a fun way for him to practice!

It is great for the preteen obsessed with Harry Potter. My DD, dear daughter, was taught how to play ther recorder in fourth grade as required by the state of VA. She loved the gift because she already knew how to play so she did not have to learn the notes at the same time. I would not recommend the item unless the child already knows how to play or you were willing to teach the recorder to them.

My only issue is that the recorder is a $1.00 store brand one, the book is nice though but is not worth the price its listed for since the cheap recorder drives the price up.

Try to buy just the book and just get a cheap ole recorder, separate, from the $1.00 store or Wal-Mart.

My 8 year old son is a huge Harry Potter fan. So I thought it would be a great way for him to learn to read music with a theme that he liked. When it came in the mail, we got the royal blue recorder (colors vary). The book is great. In the front of the book it shows the finger positions of the notes, and also tells the child what note they are playing--so that they can learn. The rest of the book has Harry Potter sheet music. In a few days he has learned some notes, and pretty soon he may be able to work on the sheet music. I am glad we purchased this, and it is definately a good purchase for a child for a first instrument or experience with music.

The music and the recorder are fun gifts--I actually purchased it for my husband. We are going to surprise our grandson over the phone with some of the tunes. The recorder is a decent quality for the money. It's just fun.

This is a recorder, similar to a flute. Being a huge Harry Potter fan I plan to sit on my porch and play my flute like Hagrid this summer. This was fairly easy to learn to play if you have studied music earlier in life, otherwise it would be a little difficult to play, but with a little effort and concentration you can do it.The music that comes with it is good too.

I bought one for my 9 year old son, just be careful because the color shown is not the color you get! I got a transparent red one. I also bought a recorder for my 3 year old nephew because he wanted a wind instrument. It is a fun gift because it is not difficult to make noise and they can learn to play it later. It is good for all ages.

The included recorder has pretty good sound for a plastic toy: way better than the several other cheap plastic recorders we have owned. The book has a great note chart that shows you how to play any note the recorder is capable of making--that has been really useful. There are a couple of very easy songs (non-Harry Potter) at the beginning. The songs are a little bit challenging. This is not a book that teaches you how to play; there is no progression of the songs, just a selection from the movies. Great fun.

This is a wonderful bargin, however it falls short just of that final note even if you know some things about music you will never want to play the Hogwarts Theme Music again after you buy this book. Learn the recorder and drive up the vollume and blast out your eardrums while you do so. That is what music is all about practice makes perfect, however this book is so presise that it makes you feel like an idiot. Its great for children who can afford to chuck the recorder at Mommy or Daddy, however its really bad for adults.
