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 1#
Harry is my hero he hermione and Ron are all freinds to me and those are freinds that I will never lose my hope or faith in. The Harry potter series (by the way I'm on book 6) is making me want to become an actress if they redo the movies exactly how j.k. Rowling wrote it. it is the best book in the world I hope you read it beacouse if you do you will gain dozens of friends. The only thing bad about this book that at the end of most books there is scary moments . So if you are not over age 7 this May not be a good book (p.s. Read it anyway) for you. I've always loved the books and make sure that you read them in order(if you don't you won't get it.) also the movies are way diffrent than the books so make sure to read the books to 😃. This is like a intro to the series. Please promise me to read them. Please.hope you like it!!!!!!
My classmates where reading this series of books so I wanted to read it too. So far so good sense I started it in December. I've been soooo busy I still haven't Finished # one.
i totally love harry potter but i thoung jk rowling could do a better job writting this book and i thought it would be really intresting to read but when i read it it was a total waste of time i now hate harry potter. at frist i as dying for the next harry potter series to come out but when i read it it is a total waste of time
There are MANY books in the same genre as Harry Potter.. I would recommend.. well, anything by Rick Riordan.. and also the Septimus Heap series, that's a good one.. Wrinkle in Time series.. and all the ones that Miss Bibliophile said :) Have a fun time reading!
This is the beginning of the enchanting world of Harry Potter. I will not be a spoiler for those of you who have not read it, but will tell you one or two things: it is a very good book, and it is when Harry discovers that he is a wizard.
This book was awesome, it was full of adventure and though it was pretty long it was worth reading, I also read the next book which is pretty cool too. The Harry Potter series is addicting and I always wish that I was a witch. Then I wouldn't have to clean my room the muggle way! :)
