 Harry Potter Boxset-Great!
I bought this boxset "from Santa" for my grandson that loves Harry Potter! Although it hasn't been opened yet, I was very pleased with the packeging & presentation as well as to how fast I received the shipment! Stay tuned for my grandson's review after Dec. 25th!!

 Not bad ( beckybarron )
My son received these as a Christmas present last year and was thrilled to get them.
It's his first "set" of books and he likes that they have their own box. I, personally, would have preferred something a little sturdier, but at least the kid is happy.

 Crafty Grandfather?
I am going to purchase this set despite the shoddy packaging. My grandfather is quite the craftsman and I will have him replicate this "chest" using real wood and metal hinges and clasps. This may be a fun project even for those who are not crafty you may also find a wooden chest or crate that comes close to this that is already assembled at a site like this [...]

 Disappointing ( annest )
Although I had given the first HP book to a nephew the year it was published, I waited to purchase and read the books until (1) my son was old enough and (2) the series was finished and I could get matching hard copies. A friend ordered this for me through her library connections. It took ages to arrive; forunately for me, I had no idea the box was supposed to be wooden, so I was not initially disappointed by that. However, now that we've begun reading them (my son could easily read them himself but I still read to him at bedtime, and it's really fun to discover Harry's world along with him), I was stunned and insulted to discover that the prose had been tampered with, dumbed down and 'Americanized' for stupid Yanks. I am an American but I know what a packet of crisps is, and when 'chips' has been substituted for 'crisps,' among other things. So now, having spent over $100 for this set, I am going to have to spend more to get the REAL thing. How disappointing. What on earth were the people at Scholastic thinking?! Moreover, why did JK Rowling allow them to do this? I cannot fathom any reason why perfectly ordinary English should have to be changed. Or is it that we really are that stupid, insular, and arrogant that we cannot even read English from other English speaking countries anymore? I am truly sorry that my son will have to read a watered down, adulterated version of these classic stories. What a letdown.

Harry Potter Boxset
I was very excited and pleased to be able to purchase this set, as I am a new Harry Potter fan. The "suitcase" the books came in was not up to the quality I expected. The books, however, being the most important , will last a lifetime and I will be able to pass them on to my grandchildren.
