Customer Reviews

No dust cover

I would not have bought it if I knew it would come without dust cover and the corners and in bad shape. Some of the pages were bent. I’m sad about the condition.

Lack of quality control

No where does it say that very good condition shouldn't have dust jacket. Out of the seven harry potter books I bought only 2 were in good condition and with jackets. This one the binding was coming apart and it was supposed to be very good condition. I've bought close to 40 books from this site and this is the first time I have been at all disappointed. And I am very disappointed

Not as described

HORRIBLE it said this book was "like new" but maybe they meant new 10 years ago. The book spine is totally ripped in half and pages are falling out. Very disappointed.

Hardback book

I ordered the hardback good condition book and it didn't have the dust jacket and doesn't not state it on here that it is missing. Please update the status.

Good is not good

This book is HORRIBLE. it’s chewed on it’s corners and falling apart. Do better! What the heck!!

No cover

I ordered the hardcover version and the cover was not sent with the book :/

Uh...missing pages

So I got to chapter six and then realized pages were cut out! Someone cut out the pages to the book! I'm not even sure how to react lol! They cut out the middle of the pages so I can not read anything lol

What I ordered.

I got exactly what was purchased.

Wrong cover

Right book But different cover

My favorite childhood book, in perfect condition.

I bought a hardcover copy in very good condition, and it arrived looking amazing!

I got my moneys worth

I ordered a hardcover in good condition. It came without a dust jacket and the corners are a bit beaten up, but the pages and binding seem to be intact. Considering I only spent about five dollars on it, I would say it is worth my money.

Love the book but BEWARE if you are buying from here for collections or gifts!!

I hate to be this way but I used this site to get these books for my daughters birthday. Maybe it states somewhere that you are not guaranteed what is pictured but I believed the book would at least have the dust jacket! It was the WHOLE point of buying it here. Just made me sad because I couldn't give her the full set like I hoped and now will most likely donate this book because it isn't what I wanted, so I'm out that money.

Love the Harry Potter books

Very disappointed that the book was missing the book jacket . This was never disclosed when ordering. Two other books from the series were ordered the at same time and they arrived in perfect condition

good condition

good condition for an ‘acceptable’ book

No Book Sleeve

It was supposed to be a “good quality” and it came with no book sleeve which it did NOT indicate that it will come with no book sleeve, had to repurchase through eBay which came out better price and condition.

Condition of book as described by seller!!

This book was bought for my grandson who has just discovered Harry Potter. Third generation J.K. Rowling reader!! The older generations are selfish and not willing to pass down their original books, lol. We are currently building his collection.

Not acceptable.

I don't believe that this is in acceptable condition, I wouldn't have included it in inventory for purchasing. I ordered The Deathly Hallows in acceptable and it was in okay condition, this one was torn, the cover is torn and it's in horrible condition, I regret ordering this one due to the condition. There wasn't a good condition available at the time of ordering and I don't consider this as acceptable.

Not a huge HP fan

I don’t really want to write a review but for some reason it’s making me.

No dust jacket

Despite the lack of information regarding dust jackets and the dust jacket the book came without, the book itself was in great condition. I would be hesitant about buying the hardcover version.

Satisfied

Smells funny but otherwise just as i expected for a hard cover in good condition

Missing Pages

I didn’t get to read because it was missing the first 162 pages

would give 5 stars but i hate harry

i really hate harry potter so much (character not series). i literally want him so much, Hermione is a real cutie. Ronald Measles is a real #playa and i want to see more of him in the future particularly. Cant wait for book 5!

Quality Lacking

Just received this book and was pretty disappointed by the quality. I ordered it as "like new" but the book was missing its dust covered and had some ware which if I new I probably would not have purchased this copy unfortunately.

Was only okay as a gift

I bought this book as a gift for a little girl on my churches angel tree, so her guardian had gifts to give her for Christmas. She requested the last 6 of the Harry Potter series. This one was in the roughest shape of the 6, which was sort of anticipated as I ordered an acceptable version. The over and pages were very torn and bent and was much harder to pass off as new, unlike the other books

Bad copy

The copy I received starts on chapter 20. It looks like a poor copy of the original, even has another language on the inside cover.

Book was in ok condition but was very disappointed that it did not come with the dust jacket. Now go

Great book. Have all the Harry Potter books and enjoy all of them.

I little stressed

I paid 4.69 and it had a tag on it for 3.49 so I could have got it cheaper I ordered this book in good condition and it is except there is writing on the first page I need to look throw it to make sure there is not more writing in it

No dust jacket

The quality listed exceeded the book. Sadly it didn't come with a dust jacket in good condition but for the price I don't feel like I got a bad deal

Great condition

Great book!!

Not in good condition

Ordered a hardcover in “Good” condition but it didn’t even come with the dust jacket and the corners of the book are in terrible condition. I would have never ordered it if it said it was missing and it shouldn’t have ever been listed as good condition.

*

Rec'd this book that was listed as "acceptable" but wouldn't have been acceptable (to me) if I had seen the condition before ordering. It's dirty & stained & the cover is torn & in general poor condition. Rating is based on the condition not the content.

Beware: condition of hardbacks

We purchased a copy in "Good" condition. It arrived with a separated, broken spine. Quite disappointed as ThiftBooks has always been very meticulous about the book conditions we receive.

Good condition

Ordered hardcover in 'Good Condition and received it with dirt and spider webs on it...not sure if cleaning this off would have cost extra...not impressed, but you get what you pay for.

WOW. JK is like an awesome writer!

I can't wait to read the sixth book! I want to know who the half blood prince is! I pre-ordered a book to come in July some time, and I'm looking forward to reading it! The 5th book was sooo good! I've read it like five times now! I can't wait for more! I was kind of sad when my favorite character died though! But there was whispering behind the veil, so hopefully he's still alive! I have a feeling Dumbledore is going to die in the next book, probably to save Harry or something...

Harry Potter in Spanish!

As soon as I got my copy of this book I was thrill.The translation is great and it retained the original enthuciams that the english version has.I recommed this book to anyone that knows spanish or is learning,this will be the ideal gift.

Another dose of magic from the world of Harry Potter

We should all now be familiar with the story of Harry Potter (especially if you are reading The Order of the Phoenix), so there isn't much of a reason for a backstory. Harry's adventures have already kept us entertained over the span of four books and now, in the fifth chapter, the most intricate story is given. In "Order" Harry emerges as a very angry youth, he expresses rage towards the Dursleys, his friends, teachers, and the adults he holds in high regard. An event occurring in the Muggle world causes Harry to become involved in the Wizarding government who soon decides to put their hands into Hogwarts business. Knowing Harry, much adventure and mystery does await his next year at Hogwarts and Order of the Phoenix doesn't let you down. You're given the romance, action, mystery, and tragedy. But this doesn't mean the novel isn't filled with fun (the Weasley brothers Fred and George take care of that). The most heinous of all characters (possibly even worse than Voldemort) comes from one of the new additions to the Hogwarts staff. All of this isn't helped because Harry and his fellow fifth years also have to deal with their exhausting O.W.L.s. But don't let the 800+ pages get you down, you will become so involved you won't notice how fast the pages turn. All leading up to an amazing climax that will definitly leave you begging for more. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix follows the usual Rowling formula-each new book is better than the next-and you will find yourself dazzled. So when does the sixth one come out?
