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 book was amazing!! My aunt gave me the first and second book as a birthday present, so thanks to her, I'm so into HARRY POTTER!! I'm a huge Potter Head! The book was so good, I just had to see the movie! Harry Potter's life changes once he gets a strange letter from a professor from a magical school! The same professor who saw him as a baby! The background of his parents murder, how he got a scar, how he's being chased the the world's darkest wizard, Lord Voldemort (aka Old No nose, Mr. Baldie)! The movie actually made me scream, the party where Voldemort comes out in the form of a ghost! Best series ever!! One million stars out of 5 stars!! 🌟

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is already a good book, although I read about the first 20 pages. I'm reading the latest edition. Remember, no spoilers. I haven't read a sixth of this book yet.

I choose to read it because the films looked so good so I thought the book would be better
