1. A Box Set of the Harry Potter Books:

A Potterhead through and through, I will admit that nothing has immersed me more than the magical world that J.K.Rowling has spun in her eight-book series “Harry Potter”. Your child will love to follow Harry as he goes from being a normal orphaned boy to the “Boy Who Lived” (the boy who destroyed the darkest evil wizard of their age). The best part about this book is the way that Rowling has vividly set the landscape of Hogwarts with the high turreted castle, the rolling fields, the Forbidden Forest with magical creatures nobody has seen and other places. Then, of course, you will fall in love with the characters – the witty and loyal Muggle-born Hermione Granger, the goofy sidekick Ron Weasley, the epitome of a child grown into a man Neville Longbottom and so many diverse characters. I can bet you that once your child has started the first book, he won’t be able to stop until he has finished the last page of the last book.
