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 is part of my favourite series of books. It's best when it is read to-that's how I read it... But then I read it to myself Tip- don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't 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!!!!
The Harry Potter books are just perfect. In every single possible way. I would never ever change a single thing about them. There's not really much to say. It's just a wonderfully magical adventure.
I've read this book before but I'm so excited to read it again. This book is so cool. I love when they fight a troll. if you like magic, mean relatives, orphans and awesomeness then you should totally read this book.
This book was amazing! It is about a world of magic and wonder and a boy caught in the middle of it. Harry Potter doesnt know anything about wizards or magic until one day a letter arrives adressed to his room, the cupboard under the stairs. Hogwarts was a school of witchcraft and wizardry and this letter was his admission. He is soon caught up in a magical world and finds out he is one of the most famous wizards in it. I Loved this book and would recommend it to anybody.
This book was very exciting to read and i really like the harry potter series!
