I was really liking the book when I first started reading it, but after awhile it got really repetitive. However, the book was interesting for the fact to see how much of an impact Harry Potter had on people.It was a nice read and I'm sure any fan of Harry Potter would enjoy this.

I didn't really see the point in this book. Perphaps if it had any organization whatsoever it would be somewhat readable, like maybe if the letters were put into categories. Basically it got really boring. Why do I want to read the same interview over and over. I was hoping the presentation of the letters would be something a little bit more creative and that the letters would be matched with some stories or facts or something to make this worth reading.

Supongo que hay mil quinientas versiones de este libro, pero esta no me gustó taaaaaanto porque las cartas se hacen increíblemente repetitivas y no hay ninguna que yo diga como "¡No voy a olvidar nunca esta carta!". Además, lo venden como "cartas de niños de todas partes del mundo a Harry Potter", pero el 90% son de USA, el 5% de Australia, el 2% de Filipinas, el 2% de Inglaterra y el 1% de Nueva Zelanda. Y... no sé, en este libro restringieron la edad de los que participaban hasta máximo los 16...

Es simple y sencillamente la recopilación de escritos/cartas de potterheads alrededor del mundo. Aunque es tierno ver a diferentes personas escribir con ilusión a determinados personajes de la saga (como si estos existieran en realidad) o a la misma autora, llega un punto en el que todas las cartas dicen casi lo mismo, y es una desventaja. No obstante, recopila de forma bonita la ilusión y el anhelo de cientos que niños que, sin proponérselo, estaban paeticipando de un fenómeno cultural como nin...

I really like it in the beginning but then it gets really boring, and all the letter is so similar that I don't see the point in reading all of them.

This is a very cute book, and a quick read. Although the letters from the kids were sometimes adorable, the "interview" sections with some of the kids who wrote letters were all identical which was really tiresome. Surely the person who compiled all these letters could have thought of a few different questions for each kid.The letters were cute though... kids say the craziest things =)

Oh my goodness! These was such a cute idea! It was a fast paced fun book.I love how Harry Potter has impact so many kids all over the world! This makes me so happy.#Hufflepuff

... I'm published in this, from when I wrote a letter when I was 12. lollercoaster.

Okay, this book was an impulse grab at the library. While it is a great idea in theory, the book actually just creeped me out. Especially since a number of them were from teenagers who one would think definitely know that HP is not a real person. The last letter in the book REALLY freaked me out -- from a 23-year-old male. Some of the questions were cute, though -- the younger kids always managed to have the best questions.

The title of Kids' Letters to Harry Potter is pretty self-explanatory, but it doesn't mention the fervor with which some of these letters were written; their authors clearly loved and idolized Harry. This book is a cute, quick read and suitable for any age - it serves as a reminder that long before Pottermania became commonplace, the series impacted many people. The only downside is the (somewhat) repetitive nature of the letters.

I got about 50% through this book, and of that 50% I probably only actually read 50%. I started skipping the interviews with the kids, because they all started to sound the same. Eventually, I didn't even want to read the letters anymore, as they all started to sound the same.This book was done after the fourth book in the HP series. I will say that a lot of the letter writers were very astute in some of their predictions for the series!

Bought this book for cheap at a clearance sale. Yay! I think the the letters were written around the time of the fourth Harry Potter book. One of the letters wished for Harry to ditch the Dusleys so he could go live with his godfather. Poor baby.Update: stopped reading at page 20. Will continue another time.

When I picked this book up, I thought I would read a lot of letters from kids to Harry Potter. I found that, sure. But what I didn't expect was the general theme of the interviews and some of the personal details included in the letters. Not only did these kids write to Harry Potter, but they wrote to their hero. He inspired them and cultivated a life long love of reading. He taught him it's okay not to be perfect and what family really means. It taught them that the line between good and evil h...

Okay, this is SUPER cute. The younger the kids, the cuter the letters. The interviews with the children all follow the same question format, meaning my eyes glazed over them, but the real joy is reading these letters. They are addressed directly to Harry himself (though one is to Hermione, and one is for Hagrid), and they ask some of the most adorable questions ever.I do not believe JK Rowling wasn't influenced by the letters. I can't. These kids are scarily prescient. One of them recommended Gi...

Abandoned about 1/2 way through. For those of you who know me, I NEVER abandon a book. I am a huge Harry Potter Fan! I have read every book 3 times, once to myself, once out loud to my son, then my daughter. Maybe I was expecting way too much from this little book, as I was really craving some good old Harry Potter. This is a collection of letters from children after the 4th book came out, but before any of the movies. Suffice to say, the letters are very repetitive after about the first 40 page...

Really quick, super wholesome read. I appreciate how Adler doesn't add too many asides or too much commentary and lets the kids speak for themselves. I feel like the collection itself could have been compiled better; there's long stretches of repetitive, somewhat mundane letters in between kids-saying-the-darndest-things and the works of future creative writers, and while they're all cute, there's only so many times you can read a kid say that they want to fly on a broom before it gets tedious.

No voy a otorgar un rating a este libro, porque simplemente no creo que sea uno que yo pueda... clasificar.No entra en el género epistolar tampoco. Pero si quiero dar una pequeña opinión de él.Querido Harry Potter me gustó porque a través de él podemos encontras varias (muchas) cartas de fans que le escriben y relatan como Harry Potter los ha hecho y los hace sentir. Por supuesto, hay cartas que resaltan más que otras, y la que más me gustó es la última, que al contrario de todas las demás, es e...

It was neat reading letters by kids from all over the world. With some of the letters, I couldn't help but marvel at the kids' vivid imaginations. Other letters got emotionally personal, which attests to the fact that Harry Potter has become somewhat of a best friend to millions of children. There were some letters that perfectly predicted the end of the series, which sometimes made me wonder if these eleven-year-olds really were magical! My only critique concerns the author's post-letter interv...

Este libro está lleno de cartas hermosas, que me emocionaron muchísimo, es increíble la imaginación que tienen los niños, me pregunto si a esa edad yo también tenía esos pensamientos.AMÉ TODAS Y CADA UNA DE LAS CARTAS, había momentos en los que los niños escribían comentarios sobre sus personajes favoritos y es triste pensar que esos pensamientos que tenían no se harán realidad.

This book was super cute. The idea for a book like this was genious. A wonderful way for kids to practice writing and see their hard work published. I would have been estatic for something like this to fall in my lap when I was a kid. I was so glad to see all these children excited about reading. I loved that most of the kids said that the Harry Potter books ignited their love for reading. This is quite the contrary to popular belief that the Harry Potter books will start children on the path do...
