Product Description
No book series in recent memory has swept across America around the world quite like Harry Potter. For readeres of all ages everywhere, the Sorcerer's Stone, the Chamber of Secrets, the Prisoner of Azkaban, and the Goblet of Fire have become passwords to magic and adventure. These days everybody is loving Harry Potter -- especially kids. Now, for the first time in this very special edition of warm and amusing letters, kids from all over the country express in their own ingenuous words their admiration and affection for the imaginative, resourceful Harry. In addition to a generous sampling of children's enthusiastic, candid, often humorous messages that illuminate the wizardry in America's love affair with Harry Potter, this winning book also offers interviews with a number of the letter-writers themselves. In them, Harry's fans and newfound companions explore their personal enchantment with the young wizard as they consider the effect of the magical Harry on their lives -- what wonders he has done for them and what they would happily do for him. For with Harry Potter they discover the sorcery that lies in friendship. Here, then, is a charmer of a book, a volume for everyone who has ever read and loved a Harry Potter book, as well as anyone who has simply heard of Harry's marvels.

2 out of 5 stars Kids' Letters to Harry Potter   January 6, 2009
Kids' Letters to Harry Potter was another one of those books that had a lot of potential but flopped when it came to delivery. Some of the letters were cute, but for the most part, it was a bunch of older kids almost roleplaying their ways into Harry Potter's world, pretending they had magical powers and owls of their own. I read this book thinking it would be similar to Children's Letters to God, in which younger children wrote very abstract letters "to God". There were some where children brought real world elements into Harry Potter (mostly along the lines of "can you use magic to do my homework/clean my room?"), but again, mostly flat and repetitive. I feel like these are letters that should have been sent to Jo Rowling herself as opposed to being published, so she could see how much of an impact they had on kids' lives. The pictures were really corny as well, and had nothing to do with Harry Potter itself. The few positive things I have to say are about the relatability of the book. Earlier, I'd posted about Harry, A History, which I mentioned showed only the lives of the Big Name Fans. Here, we do actually see how the Harry Potter books impacted regular children around the world.

Rating: 2/5


5 out of 5 stars Harry at his best   October 3, 2001
 7 out of 15 found this review helpful

The stories of enjoyment and excitment people have written about really struck my fancy. When the Harry Potter series first came out i thought 'Its just another kids book' but when my class was forced to read the first book Harry Potter and the philosephers stone i just had to get the rest of the series. I rate this book 100 out of 100.

harry potter has enchanted millions of readers from around the world and pulled the the children away from their television and showed them that reading is fun. read this if you want to see how far a child's imagination can carry him.

It's great that people are finally listening to the kids point of views. Its the kids who made this series popular in the first place and then it spread to the parents and to other adults. Without these loyal fans, this series would not have been so popular and its about time that they get some credit for it.
