Review:
This is a great series of books to get kids reading. I recommend they wait until they are in the double digits before tackling them on their own but if you want to read them to a younger child that would be awesome! The stories are well thought out and Rowling's writing keeps getting better as the novels progress. All of the characters are strongly written and the imagery is great! The first novel is written to an earlier reading level than the last which makes it a great series for the progressing reader. These stories are sure to light the fires of any imagination, I recommend everyone read them but especially kids.
