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.

The book was amazing!J.K. Rowling was very creative and I couldn't stop reading until I finished! Nicholas Flamel is the creator of the sorcerers stone and many are after what the stone is capable of.The stone can turn things int gold and create the elixir of life which,if you drink enough,gives immortality.Characters may not seem as they look,and you can't trust many people.There are rotton people and many funny parts.My favorite part was when Dumbledore was eating Bertie Bots and thought that the jelly bean that he had was toffee when it was actually ear wax!If you have never read the book,I recommend it!5 STARS!!!

The book Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone is the first book in the Harry Potter series written by J.K Rowling. This story talks about the a boy name Harry and his life in a magical school called Hogwarts. Read as you learn about more about the magical world of Harry Potter and as he try to stop the return of "you know who". I would recommend this book to anyone who like fantasy, adventure and fairy tale stories.
