Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling


SYNOPSIS:  Harry Potter discovers that he is a wizard, and that he is a famous one, when he is invited to attend school at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

AUNT SHARON'S TAKE:  The writing and the story in these books is really unparalleled.  Great for boys or girls, adults and young people.  However, as Harry grows up, his readers do also.  I would recommend the first two books for Children, the third for Pre-teens, and the rest for Teens and Young Adults, because there are some violent scenes, especially in the last book, and also some language.  However, this is probably my favorite series ever, and is very entertaining.

RATING:  Books 1-3 PG, Books 4-7 PG13 for Violence and Language, as well as scary sequences

AUDIENCE:  Books 1-3 Children/Pre-teens, Books 4-7 Teens and Young Adults

STARS:  5
