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.

So amazing. I'm on the third book, I just finished this one.
This was an awsome book and it was very intresting. You should read it.
its interesting, and its different then most wizard books. Most of them are about sweet stuff and candy and other things like that. it looks deeper into it, and makes you think its real!
This is a good book. Read it. And then the whole series. I will make sure you do. READ IT!!
I LOVE HARRY POTTER IM ON THE 5TH BOOK
good
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
i read the whole series, fantastic beasts and where to find them, a journey through a history of magic, and the cursed child the only one i haven't read is quidditch through the ages
As the first book in the series, I personally think it is the best. The whole series is great, and if you have not read any of them yet, a great place to start in any series it the beginning. I wont spoil anything, but I think it is the best book series I have ever read!!!! You should definitely read this series if you have not already!!!
