About this deal

Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'. The Goblet of Fire: Hogwarts hosts the conveniently-reinstated Junior Wizard Death Olympics, and the laws of the universe are once again suspended so Harry Potter can be awesome. Second, let's look at the content and style. Even though Potter and Twilight are fairly different in some ways, they also have many strong similarities. Above all, they are extremely easy to read, at every level. The vocabulary is unchallenging; the sentences are short and simple; most characters are one-dimensional stereotypes; the story is uncomplicatedly plot-driven; there are few references to other works of literature. You can read these books if you're tired, if you're sleepy, if you have poor reading skills, if you've never read anything else. They consequently have a very large potential audience. many other characters each thought me an aspect of life, an aspect of being a better self, a better human. The finale was superb, the contradiction between Snape (such a special character...) and Dumbledor, made the reader think a lot about good and evil. I know that many readers wanted a death, so that the story could appear more convincing, but i think that would be too "easy". Personally, i felt rather strange about Dumbledor.

Another reason for the phenomenon was its broad appeal--kids, teens, adults, fantasy-lovers and non fantasy-lovers. In contrast, the Wheel of Time series is also excellent and a long, momentum-building series, but its appeal is significantly narrower. There will be three tasks, spaced throughout the school year, and they will test the champions in many different ways... their magical prowess - their daring - their powers of deduction - and, of course, their ability to cope with danger.'I got into an argument the other day with an articulate 17 year old Harry Potter fan - let's call him D - who wanted to know why I was being so nasty in my review of Deathly Hallows. What was wrong with it? I offered various structural criticisms: the ending is abrupt and unconvincing, the subplot with the Horcruxes has not been adequately foreshadowed in the earlier volumes, and the book as a whole is overlong and boring. D expressed surprise that I could call Deathly Hallows boring, when I'd given five stars to Madame Bovary and Animal Farm, both of which he considered far duller. The discussion continued for some time. In the end, I said I would write a review summarising my objections to the series as a whole. Here it is.

I was in the generation who looked forward every HP books & movies to come. & in the gaps, I re-read them. XD I love how this series is at first more middle grade, then slowly turned into YA when the characters are older & the world is darker. I had already watched four films of Harry Potter when finally I decided to read the novels. I have to thank a friend that he insisted in lending me the first book. Odd enough, he had it on English language while he didn't read English (at least at that time), so he told me that he was glad that somebody was actually reading the book. (He already had read the first 4 books but in Spanish language). I am not a fan of borrowing books and also I don't like that people lend me books, basically for not being in situation where I may feel obliged to borrow some of my books returning the favor. However, since he insisted so much and I knew that he won't ask me for any of my books, finally I accepted.Applicability of cancellation rights: Legal rights of cancellation under the Distance Selling Regulations available for UK or EU consumers do not apply to certain products and services.

I would like to offer my apologies to these unfortunate people, who had every right to expect better service from Goodreads. first read; I was 9. I remember every details from what I wore & who gave it to me as my late bday present (I owe her!) to which parts I read fast. When I'm in Harry Potter mode, I bring my wand, waving it just to have some magic. sometimes my parents get on with it & it is actually a total fun.

feelz (sad or happy) which is necessary for a Great story. & one of the best thing about this series is that Romance is Not the MAIN part! like the life, people had crush on each other, breakup, jokes, peaces, love. but not in much detailed. People don't Always think about their crush/love, not devouring in affection, not always paralyzed, unable to think straight. the story is not romance-centric. it is realistic, like real life.Give me Harry Potter,' said Voldemort's voice, 'and none shall be harmed. Give me Harry Potter, and I shall leave the school untouched. Give me Harry Potter, and you will be rewarded.' 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. J.K.Rowling reached the child's inner world without being didactic and on the same time she managed to show that there is always a light in every hadrship. year, again, Harry’s birthday ruined, sympathy for him rising, he broke the rules, again. then he started to fight for his problem, to be strong. At the end, we face the Prisoner. /We rescued the Prisoner

No matter how other "cool" people would say that I am a geek and even too old for those books, who cares, I'm even proud of it! The Half-Blood Prince: We break from the usual magical fiascos for some Gossip Girl-esque romantic drama, and Harry and Ginny decide to hook up - four years later, and I am still not okay with this. I don't know, but I think that I was so stressed on the fifth book that that reading the sixth book was a truly joyful experience. Really, I think that it can be the book in the saga that I enjoyed the most to read. Love is in the air on the book. Wasted characters so far, they are able to shine in their own way each. You get to know the tragic but truly interesting past of Lord Voldemort that certainly it didn't justify his actions but indeed they give a lot of depth to the character. There is a plot, Harry Potter. A plot to make most terrible things happen at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year.'

If you've never read them, I feel sorry for you. I really do. My heart actually sinks in my chest a little every time I hear that because... you're missing out on so many great things, and goddammit, just exactly what are you waiting for? What are you possibly doing with your life that could justify postponing for so many years the best reading experience you could ever possibly have!? They are the best series of the century, it's not like they're a secret! EVERYONE knows! There's a reason its impact was so phenomenal on the world!...
