 The Harry Potter Boxset Books 1-7 August 17, 2008
This set is a fun way to get to know/read all of the Harry Potter books. All of the books are hardcover so they are keepsakes that will last many years. The heavy cardboard "trunk" they come in helps keep them organized and is meant to remind you of Harry's trunk that he takes with him each year he attends, "The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry". Various stickers having to do with Harry and "Hogwarts" come with the set, allowing you to decorate the "trunk", which I found to be lots of fun. The books when you read them speak for themselves, of course. This book set is perfect for Harry Potter memorabilia collectors.
 Happy but disappointed August 3, 2008
I was very happy about receiving all the books in one case, but i was disappointed that the case is made from cardboard. i was under the impression this would be a sturdy box made from some other materials. aside from that disappointment, this is an excellent product.
If your a Harry Potter fan then this is a perfect item!!!!!!! August 2, 2008
Ok so i read the first book before i got this boxset but i'm so glad i did, these books are amazing and the box it comes with is NOT as bad as people make it sound it is cardboard but so what its pretty cool actully and people say it will brake easy blah blah blah well so long as you dont play with it it should be fine and it looks cool so dont listen to those people with bad ratings because of some box and BUY THIS ITEM you won't regret it...... (i got this for my birthday in april but i was to lazy to post a review lol)
hope this help't
Great books, ok box July 29, 2008
This was a great set of hardcovered books I was very plesed with them. The box could have been better but you really pay for just the books.
I'm soooo sad it's over! July 22, 2008

This review is for the books, not necessarily the packaging this particular set is sold with.
When the Harry Potter hype first started, I was a little annoyed. I just couldn't understand the big deal. But, of course, I hadn't read any of the books yet. In fact, it wasn't until book five came out that I finally started reading them. I became interested after having seen a portion of the first movie while channel surfing.
It's so obvious it shouldn't be necessary, but as a practicing witch I feel compelled to mention that the "magic" practiced in Harry Potter is not real... obviously. True magick is far more subtle and much less reliant on wands and special ingredients. But make not mistake: The enchantment Harry places on the reader is quite real. It is impossible not to fall in love with Harry, Dumbledore, Hagrid.... all of whom feel so real to me.
Rowling's extensive knowledge of mythology is formidable and the moral lessons woven within the plot make this epic tale a definite read for children and adults of all faiths. It is all about the classic struggle between good and evil, right and wrong. Now we Christians who rail against the books haven't read them. The architects of the bible dictates that all witchcraft is evil only because they didn't want any competition. How is a priest walking through a congregation waving a censor filled with burning incense and reciting verses in latin any different than a Pagan burning incense and reciting a spell? There's no difference. Just that the Christians believe it is their divine right to practice magic and anyone else who does is evil.
I'm still in mourning after reading the last of the series. These books were a big part of our lives (mine and my children's) for several years. If you haven't read Harry Potter yet, please do. If you're a parent, please don't deny your children this experience. As time moves on, Harry Potter will be counted among the other classics in literature.
