Wonderful Birthday Gift! September 3, 2010 Louise Dibble (Port Jefferson, NY United States) This is a handsome collection of the hardback books -- packed in a Treasure Chest complete with handles, a latch, and a label for you to fill out with the giftee's name. Very elegant and fun!
Harry Potter complete collection September 1, 2010 Big guy in Texas (Dallas) Great boxed set, I have read the whole series however they were my children's set and I wanted a set of my own. Great price on Amazon.
love the voices August 31, 2010 Avidreader We have been listening to the set and are now in our second last book - can't put it down. We love the narrator and his use of different voices for each character - we can't wait for a new character to be introduced so that we can hear what he or she will sound like!
Goob books, fair packaging August 30, 2010 Cristian Egio Tejel (Spain) Nothing new to say about the quality of the books or its edition, which have quite good appearance, with beautiful covers and "illustrations".
About this box, the "bad" thing is that is made of folded cardboard which means that it has some bad edges an can even be unfolded. It also seems risky to lift it by the handles, because it is a lot of weight for that not-so-thick cardboard. The locker is both quite a good idea, but slightly hard to close when the box is full.
EXTRAS. If you already have the books, DON'T buy this, because it has no extras, except for a few stickers for the box, nothing interesting.
My piece of advise: Don't buy this for the box but for the books
Amazing series, slightly disappointing box August 30, 2010 Trek Bec (QLD, Australia) As an Aussie Harry Potter fan, it was great to find the American (Scholastic) editions in a reasonably-priced boxed set...if a little weird to see book one titled "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". The box itself was slightly disappointing - though the artwork is fabulous, the box's construction is definitely not as sturdy as those for the British (Bloomsbury) editions we get here in Australia - which I also own. The books themselves have very cool cover art as well - the main reason for my collecting yet another version of the series.
For those who might be interested, Amazon's UK website has the Bloomsbury boxed sets available to order...
Bloomsbury children's covers boxed set: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Harry-Potter-Paperback-Boxed-Set/dp/0747595852/ref=sr_1_12?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1283174950&sr=1-12
Bloomsbury adults' covers boxed set: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Harry-Potter-Adult-Paperback-Boxed/dp/0747595844/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1283174950&sr=1-3 ).
In November this year, there'll also be Bloomsbury's new Signature Editions boxed set: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Harry-Potter-Boxed-Set-Philosophers/dp/1408812525/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1283175386&sr=1-3
If what you're really after is the books to read, then absolutely, buy this set! If you're after a collector's item, and the less-sturdy cardboard doesn't worry you, then you too should buy this set. If you're after a sturdier box and don't mind paying the extra for postage, get one of the British sets published by Bloomsbury.
