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.

it was really good. harry potter gets some letters but his aunt and uncle won't tell him what there about. Every day there are more and more letters that they get. they left there house because they didn't want to recieve any more letters. on the night before Harry's birthday, he stays up and watches the clock for the last seconds until his birthday. when his watch turns 12:00 there is a loud bang on the door. then it opens and Hagrid ofers him to Hogwarts.
Well, im still on chapter one but that first chapter was good and cool
I LOVE this series! if you like this one, you should continue to read the WHOLE series!
i am reading the whole series, well I am on the 4th book.
This book is full of adventures. There was so many mysteries to solve in that book. <3
This. Book. Rocks. This is the best series ever made. Hagrid a gigantic man tells harry he is a wizard. He goes to Hogwarts and learns magic beyond anything he ever imagined. Now there is a threat named Voldemort. With a professor possibly trying to a stone that gives eternal life, Harry is in mortal danger. Read to find out more.

I think this book was OK I was reading this book in third grade I think some other books in this series are better.
The first three are the best ones. afterward, it gets to... murderous, but i can't stop reading it. #totallyhooked
This is my favorite book out of all of the books in the Harry Potter series. The book is filled with fun and excitement, which I like.
