 Harry Potter Boxset Books 1-7 January 6, 2009
I purchased this box set as a Christmas present. I was concerned about it arriving on time. The worry was needless, as this order came lightening fast!!!! It was just as described. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend purchasing from this seller. I was 100% satisfied.
Great series!!! December 28, 2008
This series is a very intriguing story about a boy called Harry Potter who finds out he is a wizard. Harry is challenged by many obstacles, but always seems to overcome them. This series is good for 5th graders to all adults. It is science fiction/fantasy, not hard to comprehend. This series has nothing to do with the devil/atheism. If you read this series, you won't stop until the end.
 Good books, bad shipping and "chest" December 28, 2008
The picture is misleading... It looks like a sturdy box with metal corners and such. All of it is a printed mess on laminated plastic-cardboard like material. Excellent books inside mind you - just crappy presentation and packaging. The imagery of the product are there to mislead you into thinking that a quality chest was created in order to store your books. Obviously the prototype was used and may have been made out of a decent material.
The actual shipment of the object wasn't given much thought. The corners were crushed rather nicely - further detracting from the display.
Packaging and binding don't do the books justice December 26, 2008
Scholastic did a great job designing the U.S. editions of the Harry Potter books. The illustrations are outstanding, far better than in the British edition. Unfortunately, the quality of the binding is terrible. I've had to tape the spines of three of my books, some after just a couple of readings.
If you would like to buy an heirloom set, try the Special Edition set still available at amazon.co.uk. (Sorry, but I can't insert a link.) It's significantly more expensive and you have to pay overseas shipping, but the books have genuine cloth bindings with place marker ribbons and come in a nice, cloth-covered case. By all appearances, they should last a few decades. I'm very pleased with my set and plan to buy at least one more set to pass on to my children. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Everything arrived on time from seller December 23, 2008

Everything arrived on time. Like everyone stated the case is cardboard and will rip apart in no time. Don't get it wet.
