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.

This is such a good book. One of my favorites! I absolutely love Hermione. The whole Harry Potter series is good. There is a movie version series of the Harry Potter books, too. Check it out. If you like Harry Potter but have finished the series, I recommend the Percy Jackson series.

MY FAVERATE BOOK!!!!!!!

Cool! Love harry potter! I am on the Chamber of Secrets. So far too good. First, I couldn't understand harry potter, but then I did from the middle of the first book ( Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone ). J.K. Rowling is making a 8th book called, "The Cursed Boy" or something like that. Good series and books.

the cursed child, and she didn't make it. 2 other people made it for her. It's not really that good in my opinion

Jim Kay's illustrations really light up the Harry Potter world for those who have read the book, such as myself. Although, I do not find all of the illustrations to be what I imagined, but i'm quite sure others will agree. But, then again, everybody pictures different things.

It (and the entire series) is awesome!!! Best. Books. Ever.

I love the Harry Potter series. Ron Weasly is super funny, and Hermione Granger is very serious.
