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 and the Sorcerer's Stone is the first book of the Harry Potter Series, each book with a new adventure by Harry, Ron and Hermione and sometimes other Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry classmates. Harry has been living with his Aunty for 10 years, until his 11th birthday. Harry soon learns that his parents were two powerful wizards and possesses unique magical powers of his own, and that he in in line to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry, Ron and Hermionie soon discover a powerful stone, which Lord Voldemort leader of the Death Eaters wants. Harry soon learns that no teacher can be trusted, since Quirinus Quirrell was secretly helping Lord Voldemort suck unicorn blood to help him grow stronger. I rate Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 5 stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 For it's creative plot twists, fun and adventure. I recommend this book for children the age of 9 and over considering it has a bit of mild themes for young children. After you've read this book, read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Which is amazing as well. You go J.K Rowling!

This book is AMAZING!!!! All of the adventures and changes that Harry goes through are incredible!!! If you love magic, and fun check out Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone.
