Harry Potter Adult Hardback Boxed Set - J.K. Rowling

I grew up with the Harry Potter novels, reading the first one when I was ten in my year 5 classes and then every year from then on when another was released! I must say they are some of the greatest stories I've ever read, chronicling the adventures, love, life, and loss of a truly legendary set of characters.
The first few books are short enough (and no less enjoyable) to read in a few sittings, perfect for younger children to get to grips ...
...for all time is probably as good as Harry Potter can get!
On the whole, unbelievable, for children and adults alike. Just watch the disappointment on the kids' faces when they don't get a letter from Hogwarts on their 11th birthday.

I grew up with the Harry Potter novels, reading the first one when I was ten in my year 5 classes and then every year from then on when another was released! I must say they are some of the greatest stories I've ever read, chronicling the adventures, love, life, and loss of a truly legendary set of characters.
The first few books are short enough (and no less enjoyable) to read in a few sittings, perfect for younger children to get to grips with harder literature and to evoke their interest for reading. As for books 4-7, the only word is epic. Yet it never feels like it, as you enjoyed it so much reading it it's gone before you know it!
The world of Hogwarts and the surrounding areas is described so beautifully you almost think you're there. If only an owl would go past the window...
I wish I could think of something bad to say but I can't. These books are a big part of a lot of people (me included), and to have them in a box set for all time is probably as good as Harry Potter can get!
On the whole, unbelievable, for children and adults alike. Just watch the disappointment on the kids' faces when they don't get a letter from Hogwarts on their 11th birthday.
