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

Product Information

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. 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. The journey begins with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, where readers are introduced to Harry Potter, an ordinary boy who discovers he is a wizard on his eleventh birthday. Joining him on this extraordinary adventure are his loyal friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, as they navigate the wonders and challenges of Hogwarts. Rowling's masterful storytelling transports readers into a world brimming with magical creatures, enchanted artefacts, and spellbinding encounters. Maybe I am not fair with my rating on the second book, since the story is quite awesome indeed. I have to admit that my main reason of taking away a star is something involved with Ron Weasley, I can't detail to avoid a spoiler, but I can say that well, I am not much fan of Ron, sorry, what can I say? So, since he got a prominent role at some point here, well, I miss the one that isn't there at that moment.

If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

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―. 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.

I can mention being Sassy as Harry & funny as twins too. but they're not exactly lessons of life, are they? XD) Rowling's sister Dianne was born at their home when Rowling was 23 months old. The family moved to the nearby village Winterbourne when Rowling was four. She attended St Michael's Primary School, a school founded by abolitionist William Wilberforce and education reformer Hannah More. Her headmaster at St Michael's, Alfred Dunn, has been suggested as the inspiration for the Harry Potter headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Easily the strongest book of the whole bunch. Not only it has a truly well crafted mystery but also, you will amaze to realize how a lot of elements presented in the previous books are explained the reason of existing here in this novel and all is turning around of a character.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 Lastly, we should never forget that J.K.Rowling introduced many children into the magical world of books and that is the greatest achievement for a writer! There's bound to be a character you relate to: the emotionally neglected boy who wants to be anything in life, that funny guy who isn't the smartest or the best looking but he knows how to make life happy, the self-motivated brain who craves acceptance through brilliance, even the kid with overbearing parents who expect much. And even the ones you don't relate to become real people as you watch them grow up, mature, and find their places in life. It amazes me that Rowling can write each character progressively from an 11-year-old child to a 17-year-old one, keeping all their personalities straight and yet evolving. Harry receives an invitation to a school of magic, a world of wonder, and to quote Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonker, “a world of pure imagination.” Despite his rough upbringing, nasty experience with several bullies, his awful tutelage in potions class, and living in constant fear of an evil sorcerer who wishes to murder Harry and all his friends, he actually has a brilliant time at Hogwarts. He makes wonderful friends and learns much about life along the way. By the end he understands the power of love, the true meaning of sacrifice, and the follies of judging someone on face value.

Jim Dale's narration of the series is truly magical. He changes his voice in hundreds of different ways to convey the various characters and their personalities. He brought an excitement to the stories that was just plain addictive. 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. So when people hail this series as "The story that got America's youth to start reading again," I don't protest.

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. But you've read the first book, maybe even the second, and cannot comprehend how someone would label these books as their favorite books, especially an adult? That is because the amazement, the depth, the attachment is gradual. The power of this series unfolds in books 5-7, mostly in 6. 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 miss them very often; the characters, Hogwarts, magic, the excitement, the fun & the admiration of how Perfect this world is & how magnificent it is written. the Nostalgic feeling it gives me. I just feel like to re-read them once in a while, & I still can't read from the middle, I just want to experience it all over again, since the beginning, again going through all those character developments & events I perfectly know would happen.

It's time for a disclaimer. It's 2020, and many Harry Potter fans are disappointed with Ms. Rowling, so much so that they're starting to resent the books themselves.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!
