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 BOOK!!!!!!!!!

Harry Potter is the best book in existence how could you not love it.
This is the absolute best book and series I have ever read. It is amazing and I highly recommend it. Before I read it, I thought it was just a bad book about witches and wizards. I was VERY wrong. If your thinking that give this book a shot. The first chapter may be very boring to new readers, but don't quit there, like a lot of people, and keep reading. It gets REALLY interesting by the time he gets to Hogwarts. i also love Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus, the Lorien Legacies, and many more. I also recommend those, so tries those out too, because they're also very amazing.
Perfect for a rainy day, this book will take you on a adventure of a young wizard named.....HARRY POTTER! Harry goes on a amazing adventure with fun and excitement! Such as a three headed dog, a dark wizard, a sorting hat! Hope you have as much fun as me reading this book.
Please fellow potter heads, follow me and i will follow u back. we can share harry potter facts! p.s. i also love percy jackson.
thanks for following me bookwormemily
Did you know that Voldemort's name comes from a French word meaning "flight of death"?
JK always has meaning behind names!
Best book in the history of books!
