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.

awesome!!!!

I am a HUGE fan of Harry Potter. My family has Harry Potter nights at least once a year. We all get together and watch as many of the movies as we can. The third book, ( The Prisoner of Azkaban) is my favorite. I'd suggest it to anyone!

Harry potter is awesome everyone in grades 2 + should read!

QUITE GOOD QUITE GOOD INDEED.

This is a favorite in my family. Rowling is a great author, I love her writing, AND I love all the books in her series.

I really love this book. Try buying this book for your birthday present, and you will never feel tired of reading it even if you read it a hundred times. Get it now

It is just like the movie.

Yes! The movies were so accurate, that is why they were fantastic.

I don't think so. In fact, my sisters and I like to watch the movies, and then talk about everything that they got wrong.

My mom got me into these books. I really like them.
