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.

Harry Potter is so adventurous and brave! Ron and Hermonie are so funny. In the movies I love to watch intense quittich match with lee Jordan commentating!
Harry Potter is adventurous and brave.
This book is AWESOME!!!! It is fun-packed, full of suspense, and there is a lot of action and adventure.This is really a page-turning book. You will not want to stop reading.Read the rest of the series...you will LOVE it:)
This is the book that lead me into a figurative world I never knew existed. Harry Potter, an orphan living with his aunt, uncle, and mean cousin, finds out that he is a wizard. As he is led through the wizarding world, Harry finds out more about himself and what being a wizard means. He also finds out that he's sort of a celebrity among witches and wizards all over. Of course, he's got haters too. Or at least, those who seem like haters. Potter doesn't take long to realize who his friends are. He and Ron click from the start, but it takes a few mistakes and a bit of drama to befriend Heromine Granger. This is one of the best books I've read. Ever. Rowling, I must say, is one of the best authors alive. If you haven't read Harry Potter yet, I urge you to pick up a copy of this as soon as possible. You are missing out on too much. Aren't the fantasy type? Not to worry - Rowling's bestselling series has something for everyone.
I definitely agree, J. K. Rowling is an amazing writer, but is also a wonderful person too. If I remember correctly, she was a single mother and a lawyer before this series! And also, just a slight mistake, you spelled Hermione wrong.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was a GREAT book! I enjoy books about magic. It is great how even though his family was mean, Harry never gave up hope.
I love this book! I like how an ordinary person like Harry can just become special-in just two seconds. This book shows how magic can come into the heart of a lonely person and change their lives.
