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.

one of my favorite series of all time with wizards and witches and evil and good and mysteries all tied into one.
I love books with a lot of mystery, the Harry Potter series is one of my all time favorite series.
Best book ever.I can't wait to read the next book.J.k Rowling really made a good series. hagrid is super funny and it is cool to see dudely get a pigs tail and harry is pretty awesome.
The Harry Potter series is normally looked down upon as a childrens book. This is simply not true. Harry Potter is a suspenseful and riveting masterpiece that J.K. Rowling has created. The outstanding series contains seven books, and each is better than the last. The Sorcerer's Stone is a wonderful begining to the series. It's Harry's first year at Hogwarts, and he has alot on his mind. Between making friends and doing school work, Harry is determined to figure out what is hidden in the school. I would recommend this book to anyone.
