The Harry Potter books are quick, easy and fun read for all ages. I just started reading these books and they get you wrapped up in the story from book to book. Great for young and old.

I haven't read it yet, but I loved the movie so I decide to buy the books. I love Harry Potter and I want to collect all the books for my little ones to read someday. That's why I decided to buy them.

My daughter loves all the Harry Potter books. And everything that can sit hear down to read, for at least one hour in a row is an excellent opportunity for me.
The way that the author explains in detail, makes my daughter imagination, blow away.... SO I recommend this book and all the series to everydad who has at least kids over 10 years of age. So they can better understand the difference between fact and fiction.

This was an excellent continuation of the first novel. Harry Potter books truly are amazing. I recommend everyone read the book even if one has already seen the movie.

I bought it because I borrowed the book from a friend and enjoyed it, thought I would probably want to read it again, and found it here for $0.75. It came quickly through the mail and was exactly as described.

I bought this book as a Christmas present for my sister. After hating reading for most of her life she is now a "reader" partially due to my vigilance in finding reading materials she likes. She really likes the Harry Potter series.

  Great book
Review created: 10/06/07

I thought when I was buying this book it was in hardcover. I started collecting this series for my son for when he gets older. So I figured it was an good decision to start with the first book in the series.

The book was as described... in perfect condition. I was very happy with my purchase. I had never read any of the Harry Potter books and plan to read the whole series. I read it as soon as I received it. It was very entertaining.

  Imagination and Fun Awaits Readers in These Pages
Review created: 10/01/07
by:

"Chamber" is an imaginative world created Ms. Rowling that will keep you waiting for the next turn and twist. I first became interested in the books from the movies, but I have found the books to be more stimulating. I would recommend this book to young readers, but don't continue the whole series until the reader has some maturity behind them. The series starts a deeper and darker path.

Finally decided to read the books. E-bay is a great way to get the things you want and pay less. I didn't mind that it was used. It reads just as well and actually it was in great condition. A good buy--fun to read.

  Do you believe in magic
Review created: 09/04/07
by:

J. K. Rowling is a woman with a tremendous imagination. If you are a teen or tween or perhaps even child (though the imagination of a certain age may not take well to the story) you will enjoy this story of the young age set. It is the classic theme of good versus evil. Love against hate. It is by no mistake that this series has garnered the attention that it has. Most would agree that these stories are well laid out and presented. Some say Rowling's writing has improved with each successive novel she produced. I wouldn't deny that. It would further stand to reason that this novel is early in the adventure and early in development of her writing style. I would insist that this is still a terrific read. If by any chance you are on the fence regarding reading this series, get off the fence and start reading. I'm willing to wager you won't be disappointed.
This story occurs in the second year of Harry's education at the wizarding school of Hogwarts. It tells the tail of Harry and his two friends', Ron Weasly and Hermione Granger, mishaps and adventures as they learn to wield magic. They do so in order to guard against evil in general and Lord Voldemort in particular who makes his attempts to regain power and more importantly a physical manifestation. All of Harry's acquaintances make further appearance in the novel and their stories are expounded upon.
Oh, please note that these novels are not only for the young but are equally enjoyable to the adult mindset as well.

  Great price and shipped in good time.
Review created: 09/02/07

I really appriciated the low price. I liked the fact that the shipper was willing to mail to an APO address. I am in Iraq and it was important to me to be able to get the item shipped to my address. Most will not ship because the think that an APO is an overseas address when it is not. I really liked the price, it made the entire transaction worth while. While it sucks that the shipping and handling is more than the actual product the over all price was not bad in the end.

  Voldemort Strikes Again
Review created: 08/22/07

In the second book of the series, Harry eagerly returns to Hogwarts and his friends. But the school is shocked as cats, students and ghosts become petrified. Teachers nervously explain to their students how similar attacks happened years ago. The attacks back then ended when Hagrid was forced to part with his familiar, a giant spider, and was forbidden to ever use magic again. Unfortunately, a student died before Hagrid was brought to "justice". If a student dies this time, the school will certainly close.

When Jinny, Ron's sister, comes up missing, the Ministry finally acts and takes Hagrid to Azkaban Prison. Ron, Hermione and Harry don't believe it is him, and they set off to clear his name and rescue Jinny before it is too late.

I believe anyone who enjoyed The Sorcerer's Stone will also enjoy Chamber of Secrets and for the same reasons. The only thing that changed is the mystery that has to be solved. It is otherwise the same people doing the same things in the same setting. I don't fault Rowling for this. Hogwarts is an overwhelming place, there are lots of secrets that are yet to be revealed even now that the seventh book is complete. To leave the school grounds during the second book would have certainly given the reader a sense of missing something. The same could be said for the characters. They were so charming and fresh that the reader won't grow tired of them after only two books. The time for them to grow up comes all too quickly.

This is the first time JK really begins to prepare the reader for the mega plot that is the whole series. She introduces items and themes that will grow in importance later on. Some of them include learning to rely on themselves instead of adults (thanks to the vain Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher), the introduction of a horcrux (the diary of Tom Riddle), the Womping Willow, Aragog the Giant Spider and the Ministry's habit of trying to look like they are doing something instead of actually doing anything (arresting Hagrid on circumstantial evidence). All these and more will have special meaning in later books, but for right now they do just fine as part of the stand alone story.

The Chamber of Secrets is a true stand-alone story. A reader can enjoy it without reading any other book in the series. I think JK Rowling's greatest genius is shown by being able to introduce items that are interesting enough in their original context, yet have even greater significance later on.
