Harry Potter Et L'Ordre Du Phenix = Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Folio Junior) (French Edition) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Harry est décevant. Pas l'histoire. Le personnage. Inévitable effet de l'explosion de l'adolescence chez lui et du renversement des appréciations qui l'accompagne. Effet dramatique d'une réalité humaine habilement et lucidement présentée par l'auteur. Celle-ci demeure cependant fidèle et lucide envers...

On the Trail of Harry Potter Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Lee writes a good book, very readable & informative. For the most part. There are two places where this book doesn't quite come up to snuff. First, it bills itself as the first literary analysis of the Harry Potter series. I suppose it is if you ignore everything John Granger & Travis Prinzi...

The Gospel According to Harry Potter: The Spiritual Journey of the World's Greatest Seeker (Gospel According to) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have read Connie Neal's other book's dating from 2002 and always found her points interesting. In the past, she was more "let's all get along" between Harry Potter fans and foes. Now, her latest work is nicely updated and makes stronger Christian comparisons than before since Rowling's series is complete.Along...

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Piano Solos) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this music book a few years ago, and it is (so far) the only Harry Potter music book that I have. While some of the songs are a bit difficult to play, actually hearing what the pieces sound like when a really advanced person plays them is really beautiful. The book has some difficult parts in...

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: A Deluxe Pop-up Book Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)My 3 year old "loves" all things Harry Potter, especially since big brother does. Have been looking foward to something that was more on his level for him to enjoy. The book is very nice. He enjoys the pop up and action tabs. The artwork is nice. I was very disappointed that it has no words at all! A...

From Homer to Harry Potter: A Handbook on Myth and Fantasy Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Perhaps I am just new to this type of analytical writing, but I found this book absolutely fascinating. True, the first part was deep, but it was worth wading through. I picked it up because I am tired of Harry-bashing and wanted to see what these guys thought. I kept reading it because I liked what...
