Harry Potter Ravenclaw House Editions Paperback Box Set: J.K. Rowling - Paperback Box Set

Product Information

Different Characters, all well-written, realistic & believable, also easy to hear them talking; with different tunes & words of choices. with different emotions; sadness, enthusiasm, gladness, willing, evilness, coldness.... there's no shame in loving all-potterhead's least favourite book, because it made the best times for me; the most excitements & feelz. I am proud :) I am an avid reader and years ago, when the Harry Potter books first came to the U.S. and caused such a sensation, I resisted reading them. I'm not a big fan of fantasy lit, so I thought that reading about wizards and such was not for me. It was as a mother of two cranky children that I ended up trying the books, and I am SO glad that I did not end up missing out on this brilliant and wonderful series.

year, we got to know a whole new world with Harry, we received our letters, we went to Hogwarts, we learnt magic, we had many adventures, many riddles. We cheered during Quidditch. We saved the Stone. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: Where it all begins! I still just love the insane amount of letters from Hogwarts that Harry was getting, Hagrid is too cute for words. Love the Mirror of Erised and how it is utilized too. This one has its flaws, but overall it’s a really great start to the series. This story preys upon every child's dream to be something more than ordinary. And for all humans, it preys on our subconscious desire for there to be a little magic in life. Explain the curious and give us all something to hope for in a universe we can escape to where the rules of own do not apply.

Create Your Own Trunk is currently unavailable.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about why the Harry Potter series is so damn good. I love it. And it’s had an incredible amount of success. Why? What makes it so damn special? Well for me, the answer is simple. It’s so great because J.K Rowling knows exactly how to speak to her reader.

year, 17 at last, to find a way to fight Voldemort, to defeat him. I was proud of his bravery. We defended the world & we mastered the Hallows. the castle itself & the wizarding education; surely, we all want to eat in the Great Hall, explore this mysterious castle, walk in those spectacular corridors, , wander on the grounds, & learn all those interesting magical lessons. Awesome book where the magical world just got bigger and better. You get to know that not only at UK there are wizards and witches but also in other countries. Also, you realize that while the characters have faced dangerous situations before, well, they will have to realize that things are not a game anymore and there will be consequences and dealing with events that they can't be undone. Secondly,another element is that the writer has an incredible knowledge of the chlidren's and teen's nature (well, i must admit she knows how adults tend to think as well). She represents accurately the development of the characters, their mood swings, how they grow-up and become almost adults, and all these feelings like love, friendship, jealousy, the feeling of failure and abandonment, thoughts about right and wrong and all the contradictions that may arise even in the strongest friendship. El primer tomo de la saga fue, si no recuerdo mal, el segundo libro que llegué a leer en mi vida (a los 7 u 8 años de edad). El segundo, tercero y cuarto tomos de este universo literario, los siguientes volúmenes que llegaron a conformar parte de aquella lista no escrita en papel que se corresponde con la sección «leídos» en mi perfil de Goodreads.Rowling prose is agile, fluent, easy to read yet beautiful and detailed enough. I've never read any other author who can balance both aspects so well without finishing with a bunch of flat characters and a too foreseeable plot. The history becomes darker and more dramatic with each book. Harry Potter would have not appealed to me so much to if there were seven Philosopher's Stone-like books. The characters matured, changed; the readers also did. It's the Harry Potter generation: kids who grew up with him. by each book, the world expanded; in first book we knew the magical world & Hogwarts, in 2nd we saw a wizard family. in 3rd we dealt with the wizard prison, Azkaban. in 4th we had a Quidditch world cup, other magic schools & dark side followers. in 5th we've been in the Ministry of Magic, politics & another pureblood family. in 6 we knew more about Hogwarts past, the world is cold & darker. in 7 we traveled around & you know what happened. Personally, I don't have a fixed opinion on the “separating the art from the artist” debate. Sometimes I do that and sometimes I don't. For the Harry Potter books, I think the books, the fandom, the universe, everything goes beyond the author herself, and I don't feel the need for Rowling's views to align with mine to keep loving the books. The books are what they are and the author can't add to them or take away from them anymore.

No books have influenced me the way the Harry Potter series has. It shaped me as a child, as a teenager, as a young adult. It shaped me as an individual.One of the best series I've ever read. made my childhood MAGICAL! thank you Queen Rowling! *put my hands in the air* Chapters name were chosen Fantastic! (I love the novels with names for their chapters) they were brilliant, funny & sometimes magical. They made you curious what would happen in the chapter & after you read chapter, you see why the chapter name was that but before, it doesn't give it away! also HP was the only series which I didn't forget the chapters name. & I can guess which chapter is in which book. (or tell them by the events happening) I know I am no writer that could convince everyone of how amazing the harry potter books are, in the end it still is up to the reader. But let me tell you this, give it a chance, and I promise you it'll give more than what you're expecting. By the end of those 7 books, I didn't feel like I've finished another story, it felt like a chapter of my life has also ended and that I had to say goodbye to a new-found special friend. I've experienced a whole lot more than a "book and movie hangover". I literally cried after reading the last book and watching the final movie. Yes, I was that kind of shattered. So thank goodness JK Rowling's left us with words that I hold dear in my heart and I know I would remember whenever I miss Harry Potter... Seguro que a muchos no les pasará desapercibido que Joan es nombre de mujer en EEUU y su versión británica es Joanne. No, no soy mujer. Y aunque podrían haberme llamado John o Juan, mi nombre es lo de menos. Pero sí, retomo lo dicho: mi lectura anual de esta historia es casi una promesa de amor ―que llevo al menos tres años sin cumplir, pues la última re-lectura fue en el 2011―.
