Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

This is written by J.K Rowling. This is the last book in the series. Harry and his friends need to find a way to destroy all the Horcruxes. Hogwarts,The Ministry of Magic and Voldemort's army battle it out. Some will die. Some will survive and clutch the glory. Who will survive?

I like this book because it basically closes the series up and ends it clearly.There are some sad moments in here.

I recommend this book to those who have followed the series because this is it! It is the last book and it is truly amazing! It seals the whole series up!

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

This book is written by J.K Rowling. Harry Potter goes to Hogwarts(a wizarding school). Voldermort has resurfaced again. So Dumbledore has re-activated the Order of the Phoenix. It is a secret protection program to protect Voldemort's victims especially Harry. A new teacher comes to the school her name is Dolores Umbridge she is Fudge's assistance. She refuses to let the children study Defense Against the Dark Arts. Harry becomes furious and he starts a new secret group called "Dumbledore's army" Harry takes them to a secret hideout where he teaches then spells to protect themselves. Voldemort attacks them.

I like this this story because there is not a single paragraph in the book which is boring.

I would recommend this book to people who would like really active books. These types of books are energetic.

NICKED!

"Would it be about a crime?" was the first question when i first saw this book. It is written by David Belbin - an interesting daydreamer who creates amazing stories in his head while he's doing something else.
But my curiousness led me to the first page of this book. And since when i fell for the adventure. That probably shows how good it is.

"NICKED!" is a story about a thief, who stole Smith School's video equipment but always got away. Dectective Inspector Dudden was the person who would catch the thief (and other policemen) It was late, the school was closed. There were 3 kids blocked in a room on that day. But when Inspector Dudden asked, two of them said their names were "Nick Hopper". One of them didn't say anything. Is it just a random thing or someone faked to be someone else? Inspector Dudden did everything to find out the real Nick and the real thief. But it was still unknown. The real Nick is trying to find out who stole the video equipment from his school. But his efforts backfire when the police suspected he was the culprit. How could Nick convince them he was not the criminal?

I couldn't stop reading it until Mr. Pollicutt told me to (to do this thing). Because it's AWESOMEEE. I've read this book before but i didn't finish it. This might be one of the first fiction books i've ever finished. Because IT IS good. You should try it sometimes. It's not too long so it will not get you bored. :)

Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince

This is written by J.K Rowling. A boy named Harry Potter is a wizard and goes to a special wizarding school ( Hogwarts). This is his fifth year in this school so he pretty much knows the place. He was going to Potions class and there was only 2 books left in the cupboard. Ronald Weasley quickly grabbed the " Simple potions making" book so Harry is forced to grab the " Advanced potion making"book. They all started to make their potions. While everyone failed to achieve to make the potion Harry's potion experiment when swiftly. Harry finds the book interesting so he takes it to his room and keeps it. He learns a spell called "Septumsempra". He was going to the bathroom then Draco Malfoy(his enemy) starts to tease him so Harry uses the spell. Draco started to bleed alot. I finds out that Severus Snape wrote that book.

I like this book because it is interesting. The plot is amazing. I seriously can't believe how people can think of things like this.

I recommend this book to people who like to read thick books which takes a long to get the plot. For those people who like cliff hangers this is the book for you.

Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings

Horse racing is the sports of kings, perhaps because racehorses are very expensive animals. But when they win races, they can make a lot of money too- money for the owners, for the trainers and the people who put bets on them to win.
Silver Blaze is a young horse, but already the winner of many races. One night he dissapears from his stables, and someone kills his trainer. The police want the killer, and the owner wants his horse, but they can't find them. So what do they do?
They write to 221B Baker Street, London, of coarse to ask for help of the greatest detective Sherlock Holmes

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

This book is written by J.K Rowling. It is about this boy named Harry Potter he attends to Hogwarts ( a wizarding school). This is his fourth year at Hogwarts. He decides to join the Triwizards contest. A Triwizards contest is when 3 different wizarding schools choose one student to compete against the other students. Albus Dumbledore(Headmaster) sets up a goblet where people write their name on a piece of paper and put it into the goblet. But the thing is that you can only come near the goblet and put in your name if you are over 17 years old. When the time comes the Goblet of Fire will shoot out 3 people's names and they will participate in the tournament.In the tournament, you have to win 3 very dangerous challenges. To Dumbledore's surprise Harry's name shot out of the goblet. Harry couldn't have put it in because he could not come close tot he goblet this means that someone else did it for him. Dumbledore is furious but lets Harry participate. With the help of Mad-eye Moody, Harry is prepared. Harry soon learns that there is someone is going to try and sabotage him and even kill him.

I think this book is fun to read because it is addicting and you always wished there were infinite books.

I recommend this to people who like action and adventure. By the way, the books get thicker as they go on.
This book is about a boy who finds out he is a wizard and he attends a school named Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry. He goes there and meets Ron Weasly and Hermioni Granger. During the cource of the book they become best friends. Later in the story he finds out about a thing called the Sorcerers Stone. Harry soon suspects that one of the teachers Snape is trying to steal the stone so he goes to investigate........I like this story because it is interesting and it shows the ups and downs of an average middle school e.g. Enemys , lovers and the little bit of magic in everyones life. I also like this story because of the adventure and the little bit of mystery.I recomend this book to enyone that love a little adventure.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

This is written by J.K Rowling. This book is about how a boy discovers his godfather. A boy named Harry Potter is a wizard.A need teacher has come to Hogwarts( a wizarding school) to teach Defense Against The Dark Arts class( Remus Lupin).

Harry soon realizes that the prisoner is his misunderstood godfather,Sirius Black, he tells Harry that Peter Pettigrew betrayed his dad and gave him to Lord Voldemort.

I love Harry Potter books because they are fiction but when you read it you still think it is true! When I read the Harry Potter series I was 11 years old. From that day I kept on waiting for the letter of acceptance from Hogwarts! ( Yes, that is stupid)

I recommend this book to readers who love a plot with a twist because this exactly what it is.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

This is written by J.K Rowling. It is about a boy named Harry Potter and he is a wizard which attends to Hogwarts ( a wizarding school). He and his best friends , Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, discover a hidden chamber in the school. the teachers told them the legend about the Chamber of Secrets. The legend goes like this: When the four founders of Hogwarts , Godric Griffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin, decided to start a school they allowed pure blood wizards and muggle borns( humans) to learn together. Salazar Slytherin selfishly thought that the school should only be for pure bloods only. The rest disagreed with him. Salazar left the school but before he did he built a hidden chamber in the school. There lies a deadly monster which only the heir of Slytherin can command. But the teachers told the students that the legend wasn't true and that the teachers has searched the school and no such chamber was found. Harry started to hear whispers which only he could hear. He learned that he knew how to speak Parseltongue ( snake language). The monster is loose and students are found petrified int he middle of corridors. Hermione was one of them. Ron and Harry decide to put a stop to this and find the monster in the Chamber of Secrets.

I LOVE this book because it is one of my favorite books in the whole Harry Potter series(actually that isn't true I LOVE all Harry Potter books...) I love how I keep trying to read on.

I recommend this book to people who like thick books and action. This book has a little bit of funny parts it in so you can read it if you have humor.

Harry wonders if Snape is Voldemort's apprentice. He and his friends soon find out about a stone. They go search for it and go past tons of danger. Using their spells they venture for the Philosopher stone.

I LOVE these types of books because they have adventure and magic in them. The Harry Potter series is my most favorite series ever! I love the plot and the cliff hangers at the end of each paragraph.

I would recommend this book to people who like thick books and have a passion for the genre of magic and adventure. Reading this takes concentration and patience. If you don't concentrate then you will get confused about the plot and exciting parts will mean nothing to you. I PROMISE YOU THAT AFTER READING THIS WHOLE SERIES OF THICK BOOKS YOU WILL FEEL MOST DEFINITELY PROUD OF YOURSELF!

Amanda despises Tracy because she keeps on feeling sorry for Tracy.Amanda realizes she is gifted and she isn't the only one. Amanda soon starts to join the gifted class with other students. Some in the school is planning on using the gifted children for their own needs possibly hurting them too.


I think this book is very exciting because it has a lot of action. Every paragraph makes me want to read on to the next one because this book's plot is very mysterious. I like this book because the author really understands how each character will be feeling after every event. By reading the first few paragraphs you can clearly tell the personality of each character and their background. One of my favorite genres is magic. And this book is clearly mostly about magic.

I would recommend this book to those who like magic books like Harry Potter. If you like books which have a cliff hanger then this is the book for you.Reading this book needs patience because the action doesn't just jump in all of a sudden.
