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.

I used to not like "Harry Potter" but after i read the book i loved it! Since i read this book im a "Harry Potter" fan.
i read this book so many times it is so good
This is a great book
Right when you set your eyes on this book you will fall into a world of wonder a world of laughter and a world of Danger. Join Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger on exciting and dangerous adventures. You can take the life from Harry, Ron, and Hermione and bring to your world at Universal Islands of Adventures and Universal Studios. One thing I only recommend eight year olds and up should read Harry Potter and the Sorcers Stone because it can be scary a first but you kids will love it.
It is really interesting. it's a little bit funny.
I love the whole series. It is so magical. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves stories of friendship, sacrifice, and true leadership. I would also recommend this book to people who love to read about magic.
At the beginning of this book it was boring but as you kept reading it got better. Such a good book!
this book is both for boys and girls
love it
