Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-7)

Love these books and I love the price even more. The whole set came in immaculate condition considering they are paperback. Definitely recommend.

Pros: • All 7 books included • Sturdy hardcover binding • Looks great on a bookshelf Cons: • None The books arrived in great condition and the set is well packaged. This boxed set is absolutely beautiful. The hardcovers feel sturdy, the artwork looks great on display, and it’s so nice having the entire series together. Perfect for re-reading or collecting. I’m really happy with this purchase.

For my reviews of the individual books, check out Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1) , Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2) , Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban , Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire , Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix , Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6) , and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . Happy reading. While I got into this book series a bit late in the game (I wasn't even aware of its existence until after the release of the fourth book...shame on me) I quickly caught up and I've been hooked ever since. I don't think any book series has been this solid from beginning to end. J. K. Rowling spent an extraordinary amount of time even just developing the setting and plot and it shows. The world us Muggles aren't aware of isn't just squeezed into this little space where there happens to be room for it. No, its woven right into our own world so seamlessly that we'd never notice where one world ends and the other begins...it all works flawlessly. The characters are all great except one (check out my above-mentioned reviews to see who.) They are funny, brave, smart, wonderfully annoying, perfectly psychopathic, and so much more. Everyone has their own specific favorites and that's just fine...there are so many to choose from. My favorite throughout this series is absolutely Hermione Granger. She is smart but doesn't always have all the answers. She's resourceful but doesn't always have exactly what is needed. She's friendly but has her limits. She's tough but can get scared. In my opinion, she is the most flushed-out and most interesting character in these books. I have a whole pool of characters who make second place on the list after Hermione, including Sirius Black, Albus Dumbledore, Mad-Eye Moody, Remus Lupin, Ron Weasley and pretty much his entire family, and more. Lord Voldemort also makes this list as he is one of the creepiest, evil, and finest villains in literary fiction that I've seen far and wide. Harry Potter does make that list, but it's a close call. He's interesting because of his background and the role he plays, but as for personality and similar qualities, he's pretty bland. I wasn't always wondering how'd he get out of some mess he was in...I was wondering what twists and turns would come next in the story. I didn't want Harry to die, but there were characters who I'd have probably fought for more vigorously. Ultimately, he was a decent protagonist throughout these seven books, but I feel he could have been more. In the United States, these audio books are read by Jim Dale, who does an amazing job. While some of the many different voices he does do indicate that he's behind all of them, so many more don't. Like J. K. Rowling, Jim Dale is able to take us into this world and make us truly believe. Things come alive and magic is real when Mr. Dale begins narrating. A job well done! I will depart from my normal methodology for reviews on Amazon and comment on the price for the whole series of audio books. It's high, no doubt about that. But, when you break it down, it comes out to about $40, which is the average price for the individual audio books on Amazon. The question remaining is simply whether to buy this set all at once or buy the individual books over time? Either way, it's worth it. J. K. Rowling gave us an amazing series of books. Jim Dale brought that series to life on these audio books. Pick them up and follow Harry across this seven-year saga. While my opinion about the epilogue from Deathly Hallows remains as I've described in my review for that book, I will definitely listen to these great books over and over again. These are so much more than just kids' books. Enjoy. P.S.: So, which Hogwarts House would you be sorted into? My Order of Preference: 1. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 3. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 4. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 5. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 6. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 7. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Please keep your hate mail to a minimum. Thanks.

Very happy. Great gift.

All books came in good condition and with all the pages, I bought this set, they are paperback and in a good price, however I always cover my books for more protection. It’s been 3 years since I purchased them, if you like paperback books, I highly recommend this set.

This is the full set of the original Harry Potter novels in a paperback version. It is much more than just a mass-market paperback, however. The books are just a bit smaller in size than the hardcover versions, and they have the same kind of quality illustrations and look great. They also come in a collector box that you can either store them in on a shelf, or the box can be displayed separately if you are one of those who goes all in decking out a bookshelf. Harry Potter is, of course, the massive series that consisted of these 7 books, which were ultimately adapted into 8 movies, and then spun off the Fantastic Beasts franchise that is currently still going strong. The books are set in the 1990s at a time when a ten-year-old Harry learns that he is a wizard, and starts attending school at Hogwarts school for witchcraft and wizardry. The theme throughout the series of books is the looming threat of the dark wizard Voldemort who tried and failed to kill Harry as an infant. The author JK Rowling, wrote the books with the intention that kids about Harry's age could start reading them and then age with the characters in the books. So, they do get progressively darker and more "adult" as the series goes on. The first couple of books are easily appropriate for 10-11 year-olds, but the later books are probably more appropriate for those in the 13-15-year-old (on up) age range. Even though they are technically kids' books, they can easily be enjoyed by adults. The books also get longer as the series goes on, so if you have seen the movies, there is a lot that happens in the books, especially books 3-6 that get cut out of the movies. I do think, on the whole, the books are better than the movies, but I think there are some things that the movies tweaked from the books that worked better. Overall, it is a great book series. The story is unique in that, as opposed to a lot of other books in the sci-fi/fantasy genre that set their stories on made-up worlds that have little in common with our reality, it sets the world of magic in the "real" world in contemporary times, just making it clear that people without the magical ability (called muggles) are largely unaware of the existence of magic. If you are one of the few who have yet to read the books, I highly recommend them.

One of my very first buys from Amazon in 2014. It was delivered to my home at Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The quality of the books was amazing. I am totally satisfied and happy with the HP books received.

Minor spelling errors but overall good read

Muy buen producto para los fans de Harry Potter que estén interesados en leer los libros en su versión original. Matizar que están escritos en inglés británico, pues hubo ediciones en ingles americano y esta fue un gran duda que se me presentó a la hora de comprarlos ya que me apetecía leerlos tal cual los escribió JKRowling. Después de comprobar el producto en la web de la editorial quedó afirmado. La verdad el lote es un poco más pequeño de lo que me esperaba, pero el diseño es precioso, y sobre la calidad de las novelas sobran las palabras.
