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.

This is such a good book. It is about a boy named Harry who is admitted to Hogwarts (the school for wizards and witches). As he goes to the school everyday, he meets new people just like him. He also faces some problems with other characters. It is Harry's job to defeat the antagonist (Lord Voldemort), which always makes Harry's scar burn. 100/100 recommended!!!!

I just love harry poter

I like this book and this is my favourite book

For people deciding if they should read this book, just read it. This is not the best book in the series, for sure, but the rest of the series is just..... Amazing. Everyone thinks the harry Potter series is hyped up, but it really isn't. The first book, I have to say, is pretty boring. It's just setting the mood, but once you get past the first, maybe second, and maybe even third book, you'll see how much of a genius Rowling really is. I have never liked fantasy, and I loved this series, I hate rereading books, and I've read this series 10 times, so just read it. If you really don't want to put your time into it, get the audiobook, Jim Dale is an amazing narrator and you can listen to it while you're doing something else
