Toy Store - Harry Potter Hardcover Limited Edition Boxed Set: All 7 Books in Chest BRAND NEW - New Arrival

Love these books and I love the price even more. The whole set came in immaculate condition considering they are paperback. Definitely recommend.

Pros: • All 7 books included • Sturdy hardcover binding • Looks great on a bookshelf Cons: • None The books arrived in great condition and the set is well packaged. This boxed set is absolutely beautiful. The hardcovers feel sturdy, the artwork looks great on display, and it’s so nice having the entire series together. Perfect for re-reading or collecting. I’m really happy with this purchase.

Nice set for the price.

This is the full set of the original Harry Potter novels in a paperback version. It is much more than just a mass-market paperback, however. The books are just a bit smaller in size than the hardcover versions, and they have the same kind of quality illustrations and look great. They also come in a collector box that you can either store them in on a shelf, or the box can be displayed separately if you are one of those who goes all in decking out a bookshelf. Harry Potter is, of course, the massive series that consisted of these 7 books, which were ultimately adapted into 8 movies, and then spun off the Fantastic Beasts franchise that is currently still going strong. The books are set in the 1990s at a time when a ten-year-old Harry learns that he is a wizard, and starts attending school at Hogwarts school for witchcraft and wizardry. The theme throughout the series of books is the looming threat of the dark wizard Voldemort who tried and failed to kill Harry as an infant. The author JK Rowling, wrote the books with the intention that kids about Harry's age could start reading them and then age with the characters in the books. So, they do get progressively darker and more "adult" as the series goes on. The first couple of books are easily appropriate for 10-11 year-olds, but the later books are probably more appropriate for those in the 13-15-year-old (on up) age range. Even though they are technically kids' books, they can easily be enjoyed by adults. The books also get longer as the series goes on, so if you have seen the movies, there is a lot that happens in the books, especially books 3-6 that get cut out of the movies. I do think, on the whole, the books are better than the movies, but I think there are some things that the movies tweaked from the books that worked better. Overall, it is a great book series. The story is unique in that, as opposed to a lot of other books in the sci-fi/fantasy genre that set their stories on made-up worlds that have little in common with our reality, it sets the world of magic in the "real" world in contemporary times, just making it clear that people without the magical ability (called muggles) are largely unaware of the existence of magic. If you are one of the few who have yet to read the books, I highly recommend them.

This boxed set is everything! Harry Potter has been my favorite series since I was a kid, and rereading them years later, they still hold up beautifully. The magic, the characters, the world-building — it all feels just as powerful and emotional as the first time. The paperback editions are lightweight and easy to read, and the box keeps them neatly stored (and looks great on a shelf!). Whether you're reading for the first time or the tenth, this set is a must-have.

All books came in good condition and with all the pages, I bought this set, they are paperback and in a good price, however I always cover my books for more protection. It’s been 3 years since I purchased them, if you like paperback books, I highly recommend this set.

Note: This is a review of the set of paperback editions with illustrations by Kazu Kibuishi, not of Harry Potter itself. It goes without saying that I am a big fan of the series! I have all the hardbacks of the books, bought as they came out, but when I saw this set I knew I'd end up ordering it. And ultimately, I'm glad I did - it's worth it. First, a brief word - if you're buying these for collector's purposes, you may want to order offline. I purchased mine straight from Amazon and still have some bent and beaten corners. The illustrations are wonderfully done, taking inspiration from the books rather than just from the movies. The classic Mary GrandPre drawings are still present for the individual chapter images, but Kibuishi's art is on every other surface - the back and front cover of each book show memorable scenes (my favorite being the back of OotP - Harry and friends in front of the deserted doors of the Department of Mysteries, eerily lit). Then, of course, there is the image of Hogwarts spanning the spines of the books. The box itself has more illustration on all three sides, and peering at it, one can really see the care the artist held for these books. The trio, Dumbledore, Hagrid, and the Hogwarts Express are instantly recognizable figures, but in these scenes from Hogsmeade you can also spy a little Malfoy and cronies, Luna being, well, Luna, the storefront of Zonko's Joke Shop, and students from various houses (and yes, the Ravenclaw scarves are blue and bronze). Even the very top of the box isn't left plain, although there aren't any drawings on it. I think these illustrations will come to be just as treasured as GrandPre's. The quality of the set is, for the most part, good. The covers of the books are rather unique, coated in some velvety, matte material with a nice drag to it that feels durable. The embossed 'Harry Potter' on each book is shiny and stands out well. (I confess to just 'petting' the books at times.) The box is sturdy cardboard, not easily bent. However, there are two problems I have with the production. One, the paper is quite thin, and seems like it might be prone to warping, which is a shame. It's not thin enough to see other pages through, but it's just not sturdy, and feels even thinner than the generic paper I'd use in a home printer. To be honest, it reminds me of what you'd find in a mass market paperback, just less grainy and whiter. Second, getting the books in and out of the box can be a chore! I'd recommend storing them out of the box if you plan on picking them up and putting them back frequently. It's just a tad too small, and this, combined with the high friction from the cover material, means the books need to be forced and finagled in, which would not be kind to the corners over time. (A tip - slip them all in part of the way, then turn the box and let gravity take care of the rest all at once, rather than trying to put the last one in by itself.) I don't know why they made the box so small - when all the books are in, the sides bow out. It's just not practical. Overall, if you're a fan of the series and would like a beautiful set, I'd recommend picking this one up - at Amazon's pricing, it's a pretty good deal; less than $10 a book. Just be aware that the paper quality is lacking and that the box, while lovely, is not an ideal storage solution.

One of my very first buys from Amazon in 2014. It was delivered to my home at Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The quality of the books was amazing. I am totally satisfied and happy with the HP books received.

Minor spelling errors but overall good read

Muy buen producto para los fans de Harry Potter que estén interesados en leer los libros en su versión original. Matizar que están escritos en inglés británico, pues hubo ediciones en ingles americano y esta fue un gran duda que se me presentó a la hora de comprarlos ya que me apetecía leerlos tal cual los escribió JKRowling. Después de comprobar el producto en la web de la editorial quedó afirmado. La verdad el lote es un poco más pequeño de lo que me esperaba, pero el diseño es precioso, y sobre la calidad de las novelas sobran las palabras.
