[Harry's] adventures are as funny as Roald Dahl's stories and as vivid as Narnia books - and adults seem to enjoy them as much as their children' Daily Mail

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Although this box set is for children I bought it for my sister's 65th birthday as she'd never read Harry Potter or seen the films and thought she was missing out and believe me she was not disappointed. The box set is packaged beautifully, making a great keepsake and my sister thoroughly loved the whole set, proving that Harry Potter is not just for children! Can thoroughly recommend this box set as a wonderful present for adults and children alike.

Format:Paperback
I spent a long time deciding which version of the paperback books to buy (the adult or children editions). Although the front cover art-work on the adult editions is more attractive (to me, as an adult), the print is terrible in comparison (tiny, blocky font on cheaper/rougher paper), and sadly makes the books feel very cheap. I went for the children's edition, and have not regretted it! The books in this edition are set on good quality paper, with a easy-on-the-eye font, and come in a sturdy flip-top cardboard case. Look no further!

I think most people considering purchasing this set have previously read some or all of the Harry Potter books. So we all like Harry. The question is do we like this set.
I read all the reviews here before I purchased. The comments about the quality of the paper, the binding, the small margins and font, the inconsistencies of the spines and the damage to the slipcase from shipping are all true.
That said, the set is fine.
This is not a set of a special edition or printing. These are the same editions that were recently sold separately to the mass market. The publisher has wrapped them in a slipcase and is selling them as a boxed set. Which is fine.
I would have been happy to pay extra for a boxed set with acid free paper, cloth bindings, etc. but it doesn't exist.
I would recommend purchasing the Bloomsbury Children Edition Boxed Set over this one. The paper and the bindings are the same but the margins and font are larger and there are illustrations (always a nice touch).
While I read and enjoyed the Scholastic editions, I would not recommend them. I was upset to find out they changed the author's language for the U.S. audience. Bad form.

Good, but they came slightly damaged.
I got this set earlier than expected but they were damaged slightly just on the box. But in all honesty I don't really care about the box! Read more

Simply GREAT
When I read the reviews, I got quite nervous: They said the box arrived all torn apart and that the pages of the books were falling out. I had no reason to worry. Read more

I like it.
The series: a pop cultural success. A classic. However, the writing could have been better (it was plodding in parts with "He walked across the room" and "said Hermione,... Read more
