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 book was great. I liked the funny stuff mixed in with all the suspence

i think this book is awesome.I have read the whole series

This is my favorite book of all in the Harry Potter series. It's full of adventure, comedy and drama. (SPOILER ALERT) I always wanted to know what Snape was doing, stealing the Sorcerer's Stone, BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY PROFESSOR QUIRRELL!!!! I learned to not judge someone by the way they act this book. It is seriously the best book ever!

This book is so awesome because a mistreated boy descovers that he is a very special wisard, and he goes on many adventures through this book and the next six.

This book was great loved the adventures Harry Potter has and the people he meets.

Harry Potter is an ordinary boy........or so he thinks, but he seems to have a knack for trouble. They go to the zoo, the glass on a snake case disappears. It turns out that.......HE IS A FAMOUS WIZARD!:) With his new way of life....school keeps him away from his aunt and uncle. What kind of adventures will he face at school? Find out when you read HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE.

Harry Potter is a wizard who gets submitted to Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry. He didn't know he was a wizard, but he's apparently quite famous! He makes a lot of friends (and some enemies) he also finds the sorcerers stone a powerful stone that will make you live forever.
