Set of 7 Hardback Harry Potter Books March 8, 2010
When I received the books, I was a bit worried only due to the fact the box they were shipped in was falling apart. But that didn't affect the books any at all. They were all in good shape and I was very happy with the way they were intact. I had bought them for a birthday gift and also as a replacement to the person's books that had gotten water damaged, and these were beyond his expectations. Thank you again for selling them to me.
one of the best book series out there March 5, 2010
Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-7) i bought this set about a month and a half ago and i loved it i have read it 6 times already since i bought it. granted i have read them before but now i can read them anytime i want because i own them lol. i feel J.K. Rowling is one of the best authors out i feel she compares with Stephen King and Stephine Meyer and James Patterson some of my all time favorite writers i am hoping now that she finished the harry potter series that maybe she will go on to write other things of that sort but if she does i will defiantly go out and by it.
 Great stories, set not so good March 3, 2010
I had purchased all the Harry Potter books for my daughter as she was growing up. When she moved out, she took her books with her so I was looking for a quick replacement for my own shelves. I saw this set and thought it would be good.
The case is okay, I guess, as it is just cardboard but it will work for my purposes. The stories seem to be a shortened version of the stories in the original books but they have all the important information and are good reads. The books, however, are not so good. The first 3 books were fine, but in reading the Goblet of Fire, I am finding several pages were the printing must have run out of ink. At the top of the page the printing is fine but it fades out to nothing by the bottom. I have run into about 5 pages of this in the book so far. I have not finished the book or started the rest of the series so I do not know if it is limited to just this book. If I did not know the story by heart, by reading the other books and having the DVDs, the missing pages would be a problem.

This review is intended to help those who have not read many of the HP books, and want to know if the series as a whole is worth it, or for those who enjoy a little stats in their reading :)
Ok, right off the bat, I bought all of these books separately, not as the box set. However, the price for all 7 paperbacks in this set is well worth it, so I'm not going to worry about the cardboard packaging that some are complaining about. The entire series for 50 bucks is a steal. Secondly, I have not personally read all 7 books, only the first 3, yet are completely enthralled with them already. And you don't need me to tell you how fun the books are, there's thousands of reviews for each book to peruse. What I'd like to do with this review is give a little glimpse into how other readers from forums across the internet rate the HP books from Best to Least Best ;) I was pleasantly surprised to find that readers enjoy the series as a whole, it doesn't peter out or lose it's steam after the first couple books. Quite the opposite, actually!
I tabulated ratings from readers who listed the books in order of preference, giving their favorite 7 points, their second favorite 6 points, etc., with the last getting one point. I then counted up the points for each book to come up with an average rating for each.
Here are the ratings that I averaged from worst to best:
7. Sorcerer's Stone Yr. 1 (2.84)
6. Chamber of Secrets Yr. 2 (3.15)
5. Goblet of Fire Yr. 4 (3.74)
4. Half-Blood Prince Yr. 6 (4.00)
3. Prisoner of Azkaban Yr. 3 (4.35)
2. Order of the Phoenix Yr. 5 (4.39)
1. Deathly Hallows Yr. 7 (5.52)
Notes: All books were listed as someone's LEAST favorite at least once.
All books EXCEPT Sorcerer's Stone (7) were listed as someone's MOST favorite at least once.
Prisoner of Azkaban (3) and Order of the Phoenix (2) are practically tied for 2nd place, differing by only one point in a hundred!
Sorcerer's Stone (7) was picked LEAST favorite by more voters than any other book.
Deathly Hallows (1) and Prisoner of Azkaban (3) tied as MOST favorite by the same number of voters.
Deathly Hallows (1) and Order of the Phoenix (2) tied as 2nd MOST favorite by the same number of voters.
The consensus seems to be that the first 2 books, while good, are the weakest of the series, with books 3-6 all being a general step up in quality, while the clear favorite of the series is book 7, the largest and concluding volume. Statistically, this series only gets better as it goes (in a general sense), and is NOT a series that fails to live up to expectations. I can vouch myself for the fun, if light, introduction to the series in the first 2 books, and the beginning of darker undertones in book 3. I can personally say that I am hooked on this series and look forward to finishing the last 4 volumes in the near future.
I hope this review has been helpful, or at the very least interesting in it's approach to reviewing a series that's already been praised more than any other in recent memory that I can think of. Highly recommended!!
Harry Potter Product Review March 2, 2010
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If there ever was a book series that can be read, and reread over and over again, it is the Harry Potter series. I, like many others, have fell in love with this wonderful series and have reread each of the seven magnificent books countless times. At first glance, many people may be skeptical about reading this book because the covers do look like they are directed at a younger reading group. However, this series is enjoyable for anyone who takes pleasure in reading. Harry Potters and his entertaining adventures with his friends will grab any reader's attention and keep them wanting more.
Many people seem to be leery about reading a book about magic and fantasy, but that is only a portion of what this book presents. There are themes in this book that children and adults alike can relate to. Themes such as good versus evil, right and wrong, the power of love, death, the importance of friendship, loyalty and courage are just a small list of ideas that are taught in this magical series. These are themes that the everyday person can relate to because everybody has to make choices between right and wrong or loyalty. Everyone goes through the death of a loved one and this series helps readers see how the characters deal with death and the readers can relate to this. This series provides readers with many lessons and themes that are beneficial to the readers and allows them to relate to this series.
Also, the reader is able to see all the characters grow up and mature. Anyone who has went through puberty or who is going through this change can relate to how Harry, Hermione and Ron feel and act at times. There is jealousy, secret crushes and mood swings that make this series seem real, despite all the magic. I have grown up with these characters and have grown to love them. They have made it easier for me to get through my teen years because I knew that I was not the only one going through the changes that I went through and I was able to relate to the character of this series.
And, of course, there is the magic and fantasy. This aspect is the icing on the cake. The magic is what gives the series its uniqueness. There are so many creative and fun ways in which magic is incorporated into this series that the reader will be waiting hopefully for their letter to Hogwarts to arrive.
I would strongly encourage anyone, even those who are skeptical, to read this series. Once you start to read the first book, you won't be able to stop reading until you finish the series. This series is full of adventure, magic, fantasy, friendship, love, evil, and so much more. There are so many lessons to be learned, and adventures to take with Harry and his friends. I do not want to give away any of the finer details of this series because I would hate to give away spoilers, but take my word that you will not regret reading this series.
