While Christopher Paolini's second novel, Eldest
, may have knocked Harry Potter down a notch on Amazon.com's bestseller list, Scholastic is ramping up to offer a boxed set of all six Potter books to date.
A new image of the set is available at Amazon:
It will cost about $100 and include hardcover editions packaged in an artwork-covered case. Amazon says it will be available October 1, as we reported in June.
Thanks to HarryLatino.com for the tip.

I will probaly buy a set when they all come out since the books belong to my family and not be myself. But I would actually rather have the orignal copy that I read first ( it means more) But I'm going to want to had my own copy since I'm not going to be living at home forever.

I think it's nice that they are doing this, but wouldnt it be smarter to make it after the 7th book came out? then you have 13 books on your hands! you could sell 'em, yeah, but dont the first ones always have sentimental value? also, if anyone has a reply to this, if they could say my name [thirsty4hbp] in the beginning, that would be nice. also known as stalking. ; )

At this point, I don't need that set because I have a copy of all of the books (all but the 5th and 6th are paperback)...but eventually I want to own a hardback copy of all of the books.

My first Harry Potter books I bought in the last box set of books 1-5. I think it's great if you don't have the books yet! It would be nice to have a box for books 1-7... maybe they will make just a box for the rest of us?

I have the box set 1-5 in paper back, and hardcopies of 5 and 6. I would like a hard copy deluxe edition box set of all 7, so I will wait until then. I only bought 1-5 because I really wanted them, and at $20 it was a great deal.

I think it's very silly that they have released a set like this before book 7 comes out. Just kind of seems like a waste, as most hard core fans will probably wait. I'm sure that there's someone out there that will buy this set *and* the next set, but how many copies do most of us need?

It looks good and all but...why on earth would anyone buy the set now before the seventh book is out?! I mean, once the last book is out, where will you put it?

It looks really nice and all. I would love to buy it but I already have all the books except CoS. And it costs a hundred bucks. That's a lot.
I'll also wait for the seventh book so that I won't be wasting my money.

Extremely tempting. However, being that I am a student, I really can't afford such things. I will buy a box set, just not until all of the books are out. It's a great piece though for a collector who really has got the money!

I really want that. They look so pretty all together like that. haha. But I really don't want to shove out 100 bucks when I already own all of them in hardback.

I think i'll just have to buy the collector's edition after i get the sventh because i already have the first 6.
I can't wait for the movie and i guess this question would make JK Rowling really angry but.............
I WONDER WHEN BOOK SEVEN IS COMING OUT???????????????

I don't understand why people are getting the set right now.
I mean if you get it then when book 7 comes out you'll have to get a whole new set and then you'll have a bunch of copies.
It's pretty dumb to have several copies unless you donate copies to a public library. Or an orphanage whwre kids can't experience of reading Harry Potter.
That would suck for those kids cause they'd end up like Voldemort or something...ya know they might turn evil like he did.
Ya i've read the series too many times.

That's cool. I have 1-5 in paper back but when book 7 comes out I'll buy the boxed collector's set. Then maybe sell the others or donate them to the library.

Yesh.
I would probably wait to buy the set when the last comes out. As it is, I have the 4th, 5th and 6th. I would like to buy the first three but.. I'm still thinking about it.
