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 love this series so much

I loved this series it has been one of my favorite ever since I read the first one. I loved it be causes it was full of excitement and adventure . I would defiantly recommend to any one. I also wish that I would one day get a letter.

I read Harry Potter I thought it was amazing. I think it was a just right book for me. i understood the book completely. i think a lot of people should read it. i loved it so so so so so so much! I loved it because it was about a boy named harry potter and his parents died when he was 1. But he had to live with his uncle aunt and cousin and I think that its cool because its like a mystery and he doesn't know how his parent died. but he gets a scolarship to this interesting new school.

this is the first book of Harry Potter. if you like magic and spells you will like this book.
