Jenny, I read the lot a few weeks ago.  I have to say, that it was 
one set of children's books that I did not particularly enjoy.  I can 
imagine that they are great for a child, and from a teacher's POV, as 
they are very good vocabulary builders, but for me they were really 
annoying to read, becausse of the the "---- which in this instance 
means----" lines.  That, and the babyspeak of the youngest child, 
which really got on my nerves really spoiled my enjoyment of what I 
thought was quite an entertaining and original series.  Apart from 
that, I thought that they were lovely books - particularly the 
illustrations and the uncut pages.  One other thing though, did you 
think that the boy (sorry, can't remember his name off the top of my 
head) is supposed to resemble our Harry?  On several of the cover 
illustrations, his black hair and black glasses are very prominent...
