A Consolidated Review of All the Harry Potter Books

This review concerns all 9 books J.K. Rowling has written concerning the Harry Potter series. Yes, 9 not seven as most people think. There are two books J.K.R. wrote for Comic Relief. These books are mentioned in the Harry Potter series, "Quidditch Trough the Ages", and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."

"Quidditch Through the Ages" is a complete history of the wizarding world's greatest game, Quidditch. The book also describes the most common fouls players make and a list of moves players make with a little emphasis on the Keeper's moves.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is the Care of Magical Creatures class book. It lists magical creatures, where they live, how dangerous they are, and how to defend yourself if you come across them.

If you pay close attention to some of the descriptions, you may figure out just what Hermione's cat, Crookshanks, is!

These two books really helped me to understand the creatures in the series better.

It's also really cool for children to hold one of Harry's schoolbooks in the kid's hands! I wonder if J.K.R. will ever write "Hogwarts: A History"?

The forward by Albus Dumbledore had me cracking up!

These two books are sold on Amazon for $5 each, with $4 going to charity.

~Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (a.k.a. the Sorcerer's Stone in the U.S. and in the film)~

The first book in the Harry Potter series.

This is the book in which J.K. Rowling introduced us to Harry James Potter, and his friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger.

We were also introduced- unfortunately- to the Dursleys, Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape, and You- Know- Who, Lord Voldemort.

This book begins in celebration- mixed with mourning, turns quickly into fear, wondering, and in the case of Vernon Dursley, paranoia. From there it turns to joy, them back to fear again. This is just the main example of the emotional roller- coaster this book can take a person on.

This is the story of how Harry Potter came to be what he is, lived his early years, and (with the help of a half- giant) discovered who he was!

~Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets~

The second book in the Harry Potter series.
