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.

Amazing ,but not as good as Rick Riordan.
Wow a great start to the Harry Potter series. It is about a boy named harry potter and he is an orphan since his parents died in a " car crash" but harrypotter does not think so... Anyway now he lives with his quick-temper uncle vermin and his aunt and his cosin Dudley. But when Harry revives a letters that his uncle is quick to burn he meets hagrid a half giant and escape with him to the school hog warts a school for magic ...and that's whe the adventer starts... This book is part of my favourite series of books. It's best when it is read to you -that's how I read it... But then I read it to myself Tip- don't don't don't don't watch the movie before the book it really really really really BADLY spoils the book. I Hope you like this book and review it. Thank you for reading this book report. By!!!!
It is a very nice book and it is about a 11 years boy Harry who lives with his tiresome uncle, aunt and his fat cousin Dudley.Then he meets Rubeus Hagrid a giant who takes him to a magical world and he goes to a school of magic Hogwarts where he finds new friends and enemies and comes to know about Voldemort who killed his parents
This wasn't the best book in the series ( I've read all the books) but it's okay
This book is a mix of real life and scifi. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat while you ride with Hagrid in the Gringotts mine carts or dueling with Voldemort. I highly recommend this book!
