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.

it is the best book ever. it is awsome.
I've never gotten into the Harry Potter series. Maybe I should sometime. The reviews definitely seem compelling
It's a very good series and it just gets better and better as you go on, I recommend highly
I WANT TO BE A WIZARD!
This book was incredible! I think it is cool how there is magic in every corner! it is also amazing how there is magic to hide wizard things form muggle eyes (muggles are non-magical people)
it looked good and I read the first book. My sister is really into that series. My sister probably want that book. the cover looks cool
This book was pretty scary. I find Harry Potter a bit scary. Is he a wizard or a witch ? The broom makes it seem that he is a witch
the book is NOT scary. The 3 headed dog's name is FLUFFY!!! BTW a witch is girl, a wizard is a guy
It is about this kid that is Harry and he is a wizard and he is famous for being alive when a bad guy that was going to kill hem but Harry was to strong even though he was any 1 years old.And he was going to this school that is only for wizards and has lot of weird stuff going on in the school.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione are AWESOME! Magic, Danger, and Mystery is all what Harry Potter is about. great read . One Million Stars!!!
