Quidditch Through The Ages

I bought the collection of books for comic relief that were in the Harry Potter series. The first one i read was Quidditch Through The Ages. This book tells you all about how quiddich ( A wizarding broom sport) has deveolped through the years and what it is today, the positions and the balls used.



I thought the book was really interesting, written as though it had come straight out the wizarding world for use of muggles. I really enjoyed the foreword by Albus Dumbledore about how Madam Pomfrey was distraught when she heard this book was for use of muggles and how dumbledore felt about it, and also about comic reflief.  My favourite line was in the foreword where dumbledore says "widespread amusement is converted into large quantities of money (800 million pounds since they started- 158 million 1035 galleons, 8 sickles and 2 knuts)". My favourite chapter is the arrival of the golden snitch because it is quite interesting that it originated from the bird, the sniget.

I would rate this book 5 stars  because i thought it was very clever how J.k.Rowling was able to create this book straight out of the Harry Potter series. I would highly recommend this book and hope you enjoy it as much as i have.

Harry Potter and the philosophers stone

I decided to read the collection of harry potter books again because I liked them so much so I have already finished Harry Potter and the philosophers stone. In this book Harry first finds out that he's a wizard after all his time with the Dursley's and thinking his parents died in a car crash. He goes to Hogwarts new to everything in the wizarding world and becomes best friends with Ron and Hermione. He meets Voldemort, who is hunting for immortality, for the first time. Knowing all his wizarding history of how he became so famous and ready to defeat bad with good.



I thought this book was really good and an amazing start to all harry potter books. I really enjoyed the part  when Harry, Ron and Hermione first become friends because of the heroic thing that Ron and Harry did for Hermione. I thought the line they all say when they meet after this is very sweet because they say it all together and instantly become friends. The line is " Thanks" which is simple but nice. My favourite character is Hagrid because he is really nice towards Harry especially since he is new to the wizarding world.

I would rate this book 5 stars  because it was a brilliant start to the harry potter collection that are so imaginative and adventurous. I hope you read this book and enjoy is as much as I do!

Harry Potter and the deathly hallows

I read the last book in the harry potter series, harry potter and the deathly hallows. In this book Harry, Ron and Hermione are forced into hiding when Voldemort is trying to take over the ministry in order to take over the wizarding world. Whilst in hiding the 3 friends hunt down horcruxes to weaken Voldemort before the epic battle between good and bad.


I thought this book was a brilliant end to the world famous harry potter books. I especially enjoyed the end because it had a really interesting finish of the battle between good and bad but also a bit extra! my favourite part is when Harry, Ron and Hermione go into hiding because they have great fun together. My favourite character is Hermione because she is prepared for anything that happens to them and plans all they need to do.

I would rate this book 5 stars because its a brilliant finale to the harry potter book that people know so well. I hope you read this book and enjoy it as much as I have!
