5 Minutes for Books — The Harry Potter Collection
Are you wild about Harry?
It seems like everyone has an opinion. Some have avoided the series due to the themes of magic and sorcery. I posted yesterday on 5 Minutes for Books about why I decided to give it a try, and how that led to my daughter and I both being wild about Harry. This week, I also posted our impressions of the first movie, which we just watched this month.
Even though I just recently read the series, it’s been ten years since the first book was released. That means that a whole new generation of kids (like my daughter) is enjoying this series. I have no doubt that these stories will endure and become favorites for children as they grow old enough to read them.
In honor of the tenth anniversary, Scholastic books has released a tenth anniversary special edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Like most new products in the Harry Potter franchise, it’s currently under lock and key until its release date of September 23, so I can’t offer any thoughts or opinions on this edition. However, I’m sure that it will appeal to Harry fans and those new to the franchise as well. However, once I receive my copy, I will give my thoughts of the special features on our sister site 5 Minutes for Books.
In the meantime, you can enter to win your own copy (U.S. shipping addresses only please).
One grand prize winner will receive
- A complete boxed set of books 1 – 7, hardcover editions, in a trunk-like box

I’m a major Harry Potter fan. I have read each books too mant times to count.
Harry Potter is great and it has gotten children to start reading again.
Thank you for such a great giveaway. I got hooked on Harry Potter while in basic trainging and hot my husband hooked shortly thereafter.
I have not read these yet,but would love to win these gor my kids&I
I’m a longtime fan, and all of my books are worn out from reading them so many times, so this would be awesome to win!
This would be my first time reading them
I love Harry Potter! I started reading them almost 10 years ago and I haven’t found books that I have liked as much as these since.
I know I’ve missed out on the whole Harry Potter Fantasy ride and this will be the opportunity to read one book right after the other! Great prize offering! Thanks……….
I have read all seven of the Harry Potter books and I loved them all!! Unfortunately, we had to move to a new home and we had to sell all those wonderful books. I cannot tell you how much I am in love with J.K Rowling. Please visit the Harry Potter fan club site http://www.muggles.net If you are a true fan, you will absolutely LOVE this site. I cannot wait for the following movies to come out!!
New fan. Want to see what all the hype is about. Would love to win. Thanks
What a beautiful set of books. My grandson just loves the Harry Potter books, so he would love these. Thanks for having the contest!
Longtime Harry Potter fan!
My future Daughter-in-Law would go nuts for this as a Christmas Present.
Huge fan! Love every book in the series! Waited in the midnite lines for the next book to be released. Yep. Huge fan!
We are long time fans.
I am not a huge fan (I have only read the first book), but my wife is a huge fan. She stayed up 16 hours long to read the 7th and final book. We would love to win this prize! Thanks for the opportunity.
We have seen all the movies and my daughter and I have read most of the books. They are engaging even for the parents (unlike many books kids read) and keep all entertained. If one takes them for what they are “pure entertainment” and nothing else then they will be thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Long time fan. But still late to the movement nonetheless!
This will be my first experience with the Harry Potter books.
My grandchildren are long time fans from the beginning. They grew up with Harry.
Children are long time fans.
am big fan of the movies but haven’t read any of the books yet – am looking forward to winning – thanks
My 15 year old grandson is longtime fan and the younger ones are just beginning to be.
I am a long time fan as well as my nieces and nephews with ages ranging from 4 to 44. Of course the little ones have only seen Harry in the movies they can’t wait till they can read about him and his friends.
long time
Me and my kids from the start.
My son received the first three Harry Potter books as a birthday gift years ago, right before he moved out. I was told to read the books before seeing the movies; accordingly, I have not seen any of the movies, either. We have three more children who could benefit from family reading of the Harry Potter books.
I AM A LONG TIME FAN.
My grandson devours each Harry Potter book within a day or two and would love to win the set to give him as a christmas present this year from gramps. Something he would always remember.
My 4 daughters and I love Harry! What a fabulous Christmas present this would make!
