Harry Potter Paperback Collection

Came in very fast with Amazon's same day shipping. For the price, it is a heck of a deal. The only issue I found was that book 7 had a small tear at the top of the binding, but that could be just me being nit picky. Over all its a great buy. I would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for the Harry Potter set!

The book was in excellent condition. I can't wait to read the entire series. I am collecting first editions, as much as possible, but ordered a paperback collection for actual reading purposes.

I grew up with Harry Potter and I really want any children I might have to one day grow up with Harry too.  That's why I made the investment to purchase this book set.  Having not only a copy of every book in hardcover but a box that serves as a display, a carrying case and a means in which to protect the books also is a great way to ensure that one day my future generations can fall in love with Harry just like I did.

the trade paperback is much larger than regular paperbacks. it is easier to hold. and i enjoyed the first 2 books in the series on the dunsworthy brides. it is nice to have the whole set to read in order.

This is a used set of books which arrived just as they were described. I've wanted this set for years and when I saw the price, I couldn't put it off any longer. They are in good condition and I am very happy with this purchase.

I bought this collection slightly used and the books were in fairly good condition.  I also noticed some notes made in the margins but not enough to interfere with reading the books.  Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

Great collection and I would love to complete the set IN PRINT as I will NOT be purchasing the digital version.  Some of us (quite a few of us, actually, judging by the sales rank) prefer our books in the traditional form.

A really nice set. My daughter is in love with this series.. she was super excited to get it. In excellent condition and nice quality paperbacks!

All 7 books are there, with links to each book at the very beginning, links to each chapter within books, and everything accessible from the Go To function. And it has every appearance of being legitimate (with a great price - perhaps introductory? - it was a question in the back of my mind).

The purchase was handled entirely within the Amazon website. I have not purchased any of the separate ebooks, and had read somewhere that those purchases went through the Pottermore website. I don't know whether that is currently the case or not, but it was not necessary for this complete collection.

I assume that the books themselves need no review. I have read through the series at least twice, and enjoyed them, though I may have a few quibbles with some of the plots. But I see no reason for the quibbles or the format of this collection to require a rating less than 5 stars. Enjoy!

Great price for this collection. Books were as described, some had a little more wear than usual but most were in better condition than described. Appears to be no torn pages and all books are still intact. Overall great buy for the price

The mass market paperback set is exactly what I was looking for.  Lovely little paperbacks with the classic pictures and illustrations.  Finally I have a complete set!

Finally! I got my Harry Potter paperback box set. ^_^ I was waiting eagerly for this!
Okay, first of all I think I must say what's most important. It's that; it is really good to buy this book set from Amazon.com as they sell it for a satisfying price and also they are reliable. The real price of the set is 86.23 USD but they still sell it for 50.85 USD here, which is really cheap. With shipping charges and all, I had to pay 68.83 USD but still it didn't reach the real price of the set. So I highly recommend you to buy this Harry Potter Paperback Box Set from Amazon.com because their price is satisfying and also reliable. I have seen this same Paperback Box Set in some other online shopping sites as well and what's so frustrating is the price. I think buying from here would be the best. :)
Okay, So, about the box set, it is all new and was well packed. I love the stunning covers of book 5 and 6. They're all blue and green and look so beautiful. ^_^ There are no tears, folds or damages in any of the books. Only in the final one, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, there was a little damage in a corner, which is not so much obvious; I think it was something with handling. The covers of Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire are not so much dazzling as in the pictures, but still look good. The thing is it's like the cover has faded color. But it doesn't look old or anything, just not dazzling. (No Bright print I mean)
The only big disappointment is that I expected the pages to be in good condition. I mean I expected that they would be printed in high quality papers. But they aren't. Wish they were high quality white papers. These papers are easily crumpled and not white; kinda like ash color. :( and what I love is the high quality paper print. :(
I can't wait till reading the books, I expect to start reading 'em right away.
So, Good Luck with Buying! :)

I had purchased the 5 volume set of these books in 1976 and loaned volume 2 out to a friend, the book was never returned and I have looked for years to find volume 2, without having to purchase the entire set again.  The set is readily available in paperback, but not hardback and not single volumes.  Thank you Amazon for making it possible for me to complete my set!

I've held off on purchasing Harry Potter in hard back until now,WAITING TO GET ALL 7 VOLUMES WITH THE BRITISH COVER ART-- and I had to go to the UK Amazon site to get mine, but they were well worth the price--even with the extra shipping and the several weeks wait.

The UK cover art is just prettier than the American, and what I really appreciated was that the same art is reproduced on the actual book covers and not just the book jackets.

The covers themselves have a nice powdery soft feeling when you hold them, and the books have a nice legible font. The new book smell is a bit much at first, but that soon clears up.

Not sure I care to keep the box they came in, but it's a nice way to package them-it kept the covers from damage during shipping, even though the blue box itself had a few dings.

Thanks Bloomsbury, for a gorgeous set of Harry Potter books--these are fun to look at and to hold, and they will certainly look colorful on the book shelf.

If you are a Harry Potter fan, or have someone on your gift list who is, these books will be read over and over. You've probably already read them a few times, and if you have children or grandchildren, you will be reading to them--so why not get a quality set that will last.

Well, I don't know about the "last" part. I have since read my HP collection and I treat my books like holy relics and the spine/papers creased right away. Yes the books have jackets, but I was a little bummed out by this.

LOL Now maybe I need to get the American issues for repeated readings and just let the British versions be decorative.

Hope this was helpful.

I received the book set within just a few days after placing my order. I love the box the books came in! Yes, its just a cardboard box but it's still quite sturdy. The price for the whole series of Harry Potter book was great!  I don't understand all the bad reviews on the box. That's just a bonus!

Each of these books in the Harry Potter series is a 'cover to cover read', as soon as I can buy them. Each is a gift to world literature.

I just wanted the Harry Potter collection to read & I absolutely love my books! Sure the box is cardboard but books are new and in excellent condition! I was not looking for something fancy (no hardcover books), I just want to finish reading this series! I am half-way through the first book and I am sure within the next two weeks I will be done with all 7 books! Couldn't be happier with these books! For the price it is worth it.
