Item Reviewed: Harry Potter Complete Paperback Box Set (books 1-7)
Item Given Away: Harry Potter Complete Paperback Box Set (books 1-7) 2 WINNERS!!
Start Date: April 16
End Date: May 1
Harry Potter was one of the best reading experiences in my life and one I recommend everyone reading through the series at least once. I am now on my fourth read through and this time I get the added bonus of reading them aloud to my daughters. Yes, I know that they are movies too, but that really takes away from your imagination and the actual reading, something that I as a parent and teacher to my children find extremely important. I have received a fantastic opportunity through Scholastic and I am so excited to share it with my readers. But first let me share some Harry Potter news with you all. Whoopi Goldberg shares my love of reading (or maybe I share hers 
)…
An exciting Sweepstakes is going on right now too.
With two amazing theme parks, non-stop nightlife, and world-class on-site hotels, Universal Orlando® Resort is an entire universe of action and thrills for every member of the family. Now prepare to join Harry Potter™ and his friends as you step into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™. Explore the mysteries of Hogwarts™ castle, visit the shops of Hogsmeade™ and experience pulse-pounding rides that transport you into a world of magical thrills and excitement, only at Universal Orlando Resort.
Four Grand Prize trips for 4 include:
- Roundtrip airfare
- Ground transfers to/from airport in Orlando
- 3 nights at an on-site hotel
- 3-day/2-park admission to both Universal Orlando theme parks

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! I loved the Harry Potter books in general more than anything that I have ever read, but Half Blood Prince in particular grabbed me.
My favorite book is probably The Poisionwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. The way she writes makes you feel as if you are really there with the characters.

I have a few favorites, but the only series that I have ever re-read are Harry Potter and Twilight. My favorite HP book was The Half Blood Prince. I didn’t talk to anyone for the entire day that it took me to read it. Thank goodness I have an understanding (and helpful) husband!

My favorite book ever, I really have a hard time picking just one. I have read so many books that I really enjoyed. I will tell you that my favorite Harry Potter Book was the Sorcerers Stone. That was the beginning of a great journey with Harry. I hated to see it end.

my teens LOVE the Harry Potter books! Their copies have become a bit… shall we say… ragged. (they do take very good care of books in general, but this series has been read and re-read over and over… well, you get the idea…) The favorite by popular vote would be the 4th book in the series.

It’s so tricky to pick my favorite all-time book, but I think I’d have to go with The Lord of the Rings. I read it as a youngster, and it not only helped instill a real love of reading in me… but it also gave me a sense of adventure.
Would love to win these books – thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite book ever…would probably be the first Harry Potter. i have read a lot of books, and loved them…but none have really stuck with me as much as Harry Potter. i have read them over and over, read them to my kids…and now my kids are reading them. There is just something about them that really catches your attention and draws you in. i would love to win this set for my son.
thanks for the chance!
