More About This Book

Overview

No book series in recent memory has swept across America around the world quite like Harry Potter. For readeres of all ages everywhere, the Sorcerer's Stone, the Chamber of Secrets, the Prisoner of Azkaban, and the Goblet of Fire have become passwords to magic and adventure. These days everybody is loving Harry Potter -- especially kids. Now, for the first time in this very special edition of warm and amusing letters, kids from all over the country express in their own ingenuous words their admiration and affection for the imaginative, resourceful Harry. In addition to a generous sampling of children's enthusiastic, candid, often humorous messages that illuminate the wizardry in America's love affair with Harry Potter, this winning book also offers interviews with a number of the letter-writers themselves. In them, Harry's fans and newfound companions explore their personal enchantment with the young wizard as they consider the effect of the magical Harry on their lives -- what wonders he has done for them and what they would happily do for him. For with Harry Potter they discover the sorcery that lies in friendship. Here, then, is a charmer of a book, a volume for everyone who has ever read and loved a Harry Potter book, as well as anyone who has simply heard of Harry's marvels.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In the opening of Kids' Letters to Harry Potter from Around the World, editor Bill Adler says, "Kids from all over the world sent us letters. Some came via e-mail, some by conventional mail. Some were collected by teachers and librarians and sent to us in a bundle." Adler does not explain how the letters were solicited or whether Potter author J.K. Rowling ever saw this "unauthorized collection." Interviews with the children break the monotony, but the absence of any organizing principle makes this book a thick read. (Aug.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
School Library Journal
Gr 4-6-The letters in this compilation were collected by Adler with the help of booksellers around the world. The authors hail from New Zealand, Ireland, Germany, and the U.S., among other places. Some write about their own lives and hometowns, while others imagine wizard existences for themselves and write to Harry Potter as peers. Their excitement for and love of the novels are apparent. Many of the letters are accompanied by follow-up interviews with the youngsters, and here is where the collection runs into problems. The interviews are so similar that they quickly become monotonous, and the answers to the interview questions often repeat what the letters say. In addition, the black-and-white illustrations are somewhat bizarre animation drawings and, after the first two or three, have nothing to do with any character in the series. Most fans would probably prefer that libraries save their money and buy extra copies of volume five when it comes out. Sharon Moore's We Love Harry Potter! (St. Martin's, 2001), which includes recipes, games, and letters, offers more variety and fun.-Timothy Capehart, Dayton & Montgomery County Public Library, Dayton, OH Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
