The Books of Harry Potter

How you may now, the book serie Harry Potter consists on seven books. But there aren't books of 50 pages or 100 pages. They are books with at least 250 pages and a maximum of 750! If you don't like so much the book serie or if you don't like so much to read, sorry but I think to you keep watching the films instead of reading. Obviously I hope that the Potterians (or Potter Maniacs, you decide) had already read or plan to read.

The books written by JK Rowling, check her official site clicking here.

  The books are:




Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (England's edition)


Review (synopsis) of the book:
"Harry Potter is a common boy that lives on a closet under the stairs in his uncle's house. His live changes when redeemed by a bunch of owls and his taken to the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry of Hogwarts. There he discovers everything about the weird death of his parents, learns how to play Quiddditch and faces, on a duel, the cruel Voldemort."


With intelligence and creativity, JK Rowling created a classic of our times (but for me are the best books of all times). A work that combines fantasy and suspense is a original universe attractive to everyone (or at least most).

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
 Review (synopsis) of the book:
"We are in midsummer, but there's a strange fog that compresses the windows. Harry Potter waits, restless, on his room, on his uncle's house, Dumbledore's visit. Never on the other times that he saw the head-master, he treated a duel hand-to-hand with Voldemort. Harry don't understand very well what will be the reason to Dumbledore visit him on his uncle's house. Why couldn't he wait his return to Hogwarts, that is in a couple of weeks? The sixth year of Harry starts with a peculiar way, and the world of the wizards and the muggles, no doubts, appear to intertwine...


JK Rowling presents the adventures of Harry Potter in his sixth year with the ability of always and with a breathtaking rhythm."
