Buy "The Goblet of Fire" instead.
I am a relatively experienced player, and I found that most of the music here does not translate well to piano solos. I would recommend buying the "Goblet of Fire" book instead. It, too, contains "Hedwig's Theme", as well as a lot of music that stands alone as a solo (lovely waltzes etc.)

Iffy...
The music is very boring, but much like the movie music. It was a good work-out but not worth the money! I recommend it for beginners. "Pirates of the Caribbean" is much more exciting.

Love Harry Potter...And The Music!
This book was no where nears as difficult as I was expecting. For serious pianists, I recommend the book as a good sight-reading practice. Even still, it's great to be able to sit down and play my favorite Harry Potter songs. A must have for piano playing Harry Potter fans!

!VERY GOOD BOOK!
This is a great book. I love how when I get done watching the movie and I get right up to the piano and start playing. Sometimes I even pause the movie and play the song that was just going. I especially like Hedwigs Theme (this song i recomend) it is fairly difficult but once you learn it it is sooooo fun.

Excellent
I really enjoy this book if I am looking for a fun piece of music to play. I especially like Hedwig's Theme - I have all of it memorized. Besides a few challenging sections, all of these pieces of music are so much fun to play.

Excellent
The H. Potter + the PHILOSOPHER'S stone's music is great, and sounds very much like the film. There are a couple of difficult pieces like Diagon Alley, but once learnt, it's a pleasure to play them.

John Williams is Awesome!
I've loved John Willliams since I could understand what great music is! John Williams brought Harry Potter to life when he created this rich score. I've read all of the books many times and I couldn't imagine the movies without the music! There are a lot of accidentals in the sheet music but it's enjoyable to the end!

Brilliant!
I purchased this book expecting it to have a couple mildly good songs, and so was extremely surprised by how true this book is to the original score. It is a must, MUST have for any Harry Potter lover! I highly recomend it.

Fascinating!
I absoloutely love Harry Potter, and I was so excited when the films came out. I was fascinated by John Williams's work, so I went and bought the soundtracks and the piano books for both films. It helps to understand the mood if you have the soundtracks. The music is a way to escape into the realms of Harry Potter, and it's a must-have for any piano-playing Harry Potter fan. I absoloutely adore this book, and I'm going to keep it until it falls apart and even after that. I'm in grade three piano but it's about a grade four, early grade five peice, for some of the more complicated songs like Harry's Wondrous World. Happy Playing!

Harry Potter
This is full of good music which I will always enjoy. It wasn't as difficult as I was expecting although it still sounds wonderful.

Very Nice
I would recomend pianists who fall in the Intermediate/Adanced levels. Fun to play if you are advanced. A fun challenge if you are intermediate. It was worth the money. Great for any HP fan who wants to play the music. Sounds like the music from the movie, even if everything is shortened.

Faithful translation!
Wonderful-sounding translation from the original score. Although some parts of the music have been shortened from the original version, every bar is faithful to the magical-sounding score, right down to the phrasing descriptions! Caution for beginner and beginner/intermediate piano players: there are LOTS of accidentals and fast passages in some of the pieces , especially in "Fluffy's Harp" (sixteenth & 32nd notes!). Otherwise, HP fans, have LOTS of fun learning the score!!
