The Harry Potter Collection (Harry Potter, #1-6) Reviews

Re-reading Harry Potter for the first time this christmas, and I´m so excited!
-
I do not own this spiffy box set of Harry Potter books, but no way was I going to sit down and input all 6 of them!! When we were in the UK on our honeymoon in the spring of 2000, Harry Potter fever was just hitting its stride there. Not long after that the books found their way to Canada and I fell in love with this series right from the first book. Again (I'm a broken record) great characters and time-old literary themes, as well as just being a very enjoyable read. I haven't gone to see the movies, because I don't want the characters in my mind replaced with British teen actors and Gary Oldman. (can't stand Gary Oldman.)
Fantastic read for any age. Some of my all-time favourite literary characters are from this series, like Dumbledore and Sirius Black. The books get heavier (literally and metaphorically) as the series progresses. The first book is the most child-like, shorter and lighter fare. The last book is downright philosophical and practically qualifies as a doorstop it's so weighty. The HP series is kind of like literary comfort food around here, if there's nothing else to read we'll just grab one and dive in. A definite must-read! -
Absolutely loved this story and these characters. My favorite was Goblet of Fire.

Check out my reviews on the main page of each individual book!
-
Great books-(and number 7!) I would only say that the plot is very similar to The Lord of the Rings( the ring has to be destroyed, so do the horcruxes ), as are some of the characters:
Gimli ----> hagrid
Dumbledore ----> gandalf
Anyway, they are excellent books, very inspirational. A new world has been created! -
I listened to all them as audiobooks! I was sorry I had waited so long to "read" them at all.
-
One of the stories from my childhood, it still thrills me when I re-read the book. Truly magical.
-
I have read all the books. What always fun about this was that after I read each book I went into the movie so I can spot the differences.
-
The world of Harry Potter is filled with things that just don't add up, at some point this floating pile just starts degrading the creative merits and prevents any further enhancement of the reader's world perception.
I'm not talking about credibility, obviously, but the painfully failing synergy between the fantastic elements. The force that keeps together the discworld or the forgotten realms... is simply absent here. It's apparent that the base premises struggle to support the scale to which this story has grown. And THEN come the legion of fans who step up and try to fix this profoundly feable work. Pathetic.
I enjoyed the book for its worth but this "phenomenon" drives me up the wall. I only hope these people's new-found enthusiasm for the genre spills quickly from this shallow cup into goblets of truer fire. -
I think I'm finally at the age where I feel a bit weird about Harry Potter, but aren't we all? It's hard to write a 7-book series of gigantic epics about a teenage wizard and keep your fanbase at the same age.
But whatever. I doubt anyone who's read the first six books is going to ignore the last one and let some dickwad on the 6 o'clock news tell them how it ends. Will Harry die? I dunno. Is Snape really evil? I doubt it. Is Dumbledore really, truly dead? Shit no. But maybe now that all the characters are 17 or whatever, we can get some spicier (read: softcore porn) romance scenes. Can all those descriptions of Hermione as "bushy haired" really not have some deeper, more lustful meaning? Let's not kid ourselves.
sorry, that was really nasty. -
Though it's become quite a "scene" thing to read, or to not read, it's beautifully written and original. I cannot wait for the last installment.

Harry potter is hero, he have a brain and self confident every thing that he done.I also go to the Movie for Harry Potter.
-
This book is god's gift to readers !!! i dont need to write a review about this book for ppl to know about its greatness ....
CLOSING STATEMENT :HARRY POTTER ROX !!!! -
Classics, everyone, of all ages, should read these books
-
I have read and re-read the Harry Potter series more times than I can remember. The fun increased when I listened to the Audiobook read by Stephen Fry... that was something else entirely. Just epic.
-
How I love these collection of my childhood 💖
-
Better than movie 🫶🏻🫰🏻

Love harry potter lol

Thanks to Sarah I now know what all the hype is about. I too understand Harry's struggles, his joys, his fears, his fits of courage and his moments of angst. What I still don't get is who the hell cares? But I would like some credit for giving this a second shot (1st attempt only got me about 1/8 of the way through the audio version, 2nd attempt got me through, what... like 6 books? - true it was only being condensed and re-told for the purposes of understanding the movie but still I feel as though I got the jest).
And I have to admit after seeing the movie (ok seeing about 1/3 of the movie...thanks for letting me drive your car home Sarah) I too am curious: Will the smeglmorfes kill the neecomblobs? Will marfugaloz fall in love and marry whickensob? Can Valkuzelibs good be enough to over come Bagentoo's evil? So many questions left unanswered - I'm practically wetting myself thinking about how all this comes together in volume 9042! -
i dont own this set of HP series i have a pdf in my phone which i happen to get from my friend one day i don't know what happened out of nowhere he took my phone send all 7 pdfs in my phone.
And the very next day i started reading...tho i wasnt gonna read it before coz i thought whats the point in reading if you already seen the MOVIE but then again i thought i have done the same with ANGELS and DEMONS and THE VINCI CODE i meant i read these after watching movies and i was quite enjoyed reading them.
SO I started reading and here i am done with six books and about to start a 7th one . I didn't expect to read all the books when i started but reading HP is like reliving potter magical world. Really very very enjoying
m glad that my frnd send me those pdfs even though i didn't ask.
i will read cursed child ofcourse... not in the pdf format but in the original book
P.S.i got very emotional at end of sixth book ....when dumboldore dies😭😭😭 -
I think all the Harry Potter books are wonderful. The love between friends, adopted family. The strength, yet weaknesses of the characters are believable. I love them all so much. I wish I were part of the Weasley family. I have read each one at least twice if not more. I learned about good vs evil, which I already knew about but you know what I mean. Standing up for what you believe in no matter what. Just because someone is different than you doesn't mean that they aren't special too. That people can make a difference, no matter how small. For anyone who says these books are not good, due to the characters being wizards and witches makes me so sad. They are good people. In all societys there are good and bad. LOVE HARRY POTTER BOOKS!

OK...probably almost pointless to put a review of the Harry Potter books out here...but nonetheless.
If you haven't read these books yet, you should. I would say these are going to be one of the biggest pop culture icons of this part of the century. What Star Wars was to those of us growing up in the 80s - Harry Potter is to those growing up in the 2000s.
The books are quite cleverly written. The writing is surprisingly good, with lots of little puns within professor names and such. They're long - but very fast reads.
The books do get a bit darker as the series moves along...but you'll be so hooked after the first book you won't be able to put them down. -
I remained skeptical & snobbish about this series for quite awhile, until my son wanted me to read the first book to him. It hooked me, & I am now quite sad that the series is done. But I'm glad the author went out on a high note. Highlights: The Sorcerer's Stone, The Prisoner of Azkaban, & the Deathly Hallows were the best; 5 stars for those. I probably enjoyed the Order of the Phoenix the least. All, by the way, far outstrip their respective movies, but I must admit that when I read the books I see the characters as they appear in the flicks.

i love all of these books, my favorite is #4. i love the character development in each book, especially how rowling pin points the emotions of a child moving from childhood into their teenage years. i first read them because my students LOVED them and i wanted to use the literature in my teaching, but now i'm on my second time throught the series. i love them more this time around than the first.
