I bought the set as a gift - it took a few months to get it to the intended - and when she got to THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, more than 50 pages were missing!! And Amazon won't exchange or return because it's past the 30 days....FOR SHAME AMAZON!!

My grown daughter and I are both big Harry Potter fans. We had looked forward, for months, to the complete hardback set coming out, only to be sadly disappointed when it did, because of packaging that is an insult to the quality of the stories. Because so many people feel the same, I'm very surprised that a second set hasn't been released.

Collectible sets should not be marketed for affordability alone, nor for children alone; those interested in merely affordability can buy the individual paperbacks, or probably already have them. The collectible sets should be of a high enough quality to LAST. If there were a complete set of leather-bound Harry Potter books in a leather case (or even leather-LIKE... anything but cardboard and paper covers!), I have NO doubt that there would be a large market for them. Might I also suggest a better, less cartoony, more inspiring illustrator for the more expensive set, perhaps one of the Hildebrandt brothers?

There is a lot of money to be made here, Mr. Publisher.

Well i like it and it is great my books are safe and they won't get damaged at all. I would tell more then a friend about it. I am gonna order from here again.

Perfect condition and one of the few sets that came with the decorative trunk to hold the books. Great transaction.

So maybe I was the only person on earth that had not a single one of the Harry Potter books on my shelves, but now thanks to this wonderful set I have all seven, and in hardback!

The quality of the books is a given. All seven volumes in original hardback with original cover art. What's not to love.

It showed up in the box that it was shipped from at the manufacturer and inside is the collector's chest. Not really much more than a Point of Sale container in my opinion, but a decent effort was put into the art work to make the experience of recieving and opening it fun. I keep my books in the case just for kicks, but it should certainly not be the reason you decide to make this purchase, especially if you already have all the books.

Each book was individually shrink wrapped inside the chest and it also included a fun sticker book that any kid under age 7 is gonna love.

great value, great product, amazing stories (I am only half way through the 1st book, but already in love with the characters)
