Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

So of course I have to review Harry Potter. But it is hard, a lot harder than I thought it would be and if I'm honest I'm really not sure where to start. I just don't know if I will be able to sum up just how amazing these books are. Can my simple words do justice to a story that changed the lives of millions. That may be a little far fetched some will think but the reality is it is true, Harry Potter changed peoples lives, a lot of peoples lives. Kids grew up reading Harry Potter, I remember taking my niece Erica to see the first movie and I remember her freaking out at the scary parts... and yet when the last movie came out.... Erica wasn't that little kid hiding any more, she was a young adult, she too had grown up as had the characters of Harry Potter. I think this is the first time since starting my Book Blog that I have been truly scared, I keep thinking wow if I stuff up the Harry Potter review then I will have ruined this whole thing, why I feel so much is riding on Harry Potter I do not know, maybe, it's a sign of just how truly amazing I believe this story to be. We all know the story, having read the books or not you will  know the story, the story of a young boy who lost both parents as a baby, who starts the journey living in a cupboard under some stairs yet ends up becoming a remarkable wizard. You don't have to like the story but you should respect the fact that J.K. Rowling has done an amazing job, these books are so well written that every reader is instantly transported to Hogwarts. I absolutely adore these books and I have promised myself that my son will read the books rather than just watching the movies, don't get me wrong, I own all the movies because they too are brilliant but nothing will ever replace the amazing feeling when reading this wonderful story.
This is a story not to be missed and if you have children then please buy these books, don't just rely on the movies. I so look forward to the nights I can sit and read these books to my son.
9/10
