This special edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone has a gorgeous new cover illustration by Kazu Kibuishi. Inside is the full text of the original novel, with decorations by Mary GrandPré.
Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility.
All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley — a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry’s room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn’t had a birthday party in eleven years.
But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry — and anyone who reads about him — will find unforgettable.
For it’s there that he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that’s been waiting for him… if Harry can survive the encounter.

I give this book a ***** because it is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Something I know about this book: Harry Potter's mom and dad were pretty nice people. Some evil wizard named Voldemort killed Harry's parents. But Harry survived, do you know why? His mom loved him so much, Voldemort couldn't hurt him. But soon, after about 12 years living like a slave, he goes to Hogwarts. He makes friends, gets a better room, and also gets his favorite food(bacon, sausage, pork chops.) Soon, he finds out that the magical sorcerer's stone is about to be stolen. Harry must find out who is behind this. There are many activities at Hogwarts. You might want to pick your school house, I would go to Hufflepuff. (In 3 years) You can also do Quittich and most importantly, to have fun! Join Harry and find out who is stealing the Sorcerer's stone. Please go read this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
