Harry Potter Children's Collection: The Complete Collection (Children's Paperback)

We bought this set of books as a birthday gift for our daughter, and I specifically searched for a beautiful, gift-worthy edition where all the books were together. This set did not disappoint!Honestly, I would have loved if there were illustrations, but I haven’t come across any editions like that so far. The box, however, looks truly festive and elegant, making it perfect for a special occasion!Additionally, buying this set is more cost-effective than purchasing the books separately. Both the birthday girl and we are very happy with the gift! Our daughter has already started reading them, and she loves it!

Beautiful quality books in a protective case.

Love it

The books arrived in a very good quality and at a good price too. I'm very pleased.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for someone. Brilliant box set. Fantastic stories.

Bought as a birthday gift so not unwrapped yet . All the books come in a very nice box with the hogwarts castle on the back and if you opened it up fully it would make a cool picture.

My daughter loves the books

It is inconceivable that anyone is not familiar with J K Rowling's Harry Potter books - the short description is that they are magical for both children and adults. There are many different Harry Potter box sets on the market - this review relates to the children's hardcover version of the seven books, published by Bloomsbury (United Kingdom) in 2014 with ISBN 9781408856789. The fact it is called the "children's version" is slightly inaccurate - it simply means it is a "different" design from the "adult" version. To say one box set is for adults and another for children is not correct.The outer box is a bright red colour with an eye-catching gold dragon design all over. Entry to the seven books is gained by opening a double flap kept secured at the front of the box by a magnet. Although the box is made of a reinforced cardboard, it appears very durable and should not break or be damaged easily.The books themselves have differently coloured and designed covers, with a gold "Harry Potter" logo on the front of each. The books are 20.5cm in height and 13.5 cm in width and are very strongly bound - even if they are read regularly they should stand the test of time. They are made with relatively light paper and are particularly comfortable to hold when reading - even the larger volumes.The only reason to consider other alternatives is if you prefer larger text. The United States hardcover box set has larger books, measuring 23.5 cm in height and 16.5 cm in width. However, the American version is significantly heavier to hold, and volumes four, five and seven of the series are particularly heavy, especially for children.Overall, the United Kingdom hardcover box set looks visually appealing and is very well made. It is very practical and user-friendly due to the relative light weight of the books. Anyone who owns this magical item will enjoy it for many, many years to come.
