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.

*WARNING: THIS BOOK REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS.* Young, and brave Harry Potter never knew he was famous in the wizardry world. He was stuck with his aunt, uncle, and porky cousin, Dudley Dursley. In the Dursleys' house, you are forbidden to talk about anything that is beyond ordinary. It was until Hagrid kept sending them letters for Harry. No matter where they moved, Hagrid found them. This part really made me read on, because I wanted to know who sent the letters, which weren't signed (it was sent by Hagrid). Hagrid finally met them at a location Uncle Vernon would never think he'd know. He told Harry that he was accepted into Hogwarts, which made Uncle Vernon and Hagrid argue. Uncle Vernon said he was suppose to be ordinary. To me, arguing in this book is exciting :) He made the mistake of telling Hagrid he had told Harry nothing about wizards and witches. Hagrid finally got mad at him when he insulted Professor Dumbledore, so he used his umbrella and accidentally turned some of Dudley into a pig (he was aiming at Uncle Vernon). This part will really make you laugh! Hagrid gets Harry his new stuff for Hogwarts, and for his birthday, an owl named Hedwig. Harry has a lightning shaped scar on his forehead, which he'd always wanted to know how he'd gotten. He finds out that Lord Voldemort had tried to kill him, that's how his parents and siblings died. When Voldemort tried to kill Harry, he failed and lost all his powers. That's how Harry is famous. But even though he lost his powers, there are rumors that he may still be alive.. somewhere.. with some power... Read to find out if Lord Voldemort is alive and after Harry!
dont spoil dude!!!!!!!!
Well, eggcritic, you are so wrong. It deserves the attention.Do you know where JK Rowling started UP. She is an inspirational 0 to hero. I Think EVERY book deserves a chance.In my opinion, nothing is 'bad', it's just not your taste.
Lol 😂😂 fight for harry LOL!!!! 😄
Harry Potter is one of the most over-blown, over-exaggerated and over-hyped stories I've ever read. The plot is great, the characters are likeable, and the world is marvelous; But does it deserve all this hype? Harry Potter is not the best book, because if it were, I would've read it long ago.
