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 and the Sorcerer's Stone takes readers into a magical world of wizards and muggles, with all kinds of twists and turns that expertly combine the world we thought we knew with the magical one. J.K. Rowling tells the story of an orphaned young boy, forced to live with his mundane Aunt and Uncle, and his cousin Dudley. But soon he is whisked into the enchanting world that is Hogwarts, where he finds where he truly belongs, making friends along the way.

The first novel in the Harry Potter series and Rowling's debut novel, it follows Harry Potter, a young wizard who discovers his magical heritage on his eleventh birthday, when he receives a letter of acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry makes close friends and a few enemies during his first year at the school, and with the help of his friends, Harry faces an attempted comeback by the dark wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents, but failed to kill Harry when he was just 15 months old.

I love harry potter book!!!
This series was the key to my whole life. I don't know how I would have survived if I didn't know about Quidditch or Hogwarts. I love love love love the characters, especially Snape and Malfoy (yes I'm a Slytherin lol). I also love the Weasley Twins and I was really upset at all the different characters who died during the war. Thank you J.K. Rowling for creating this amazing world that I will always remember!
