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.

Years ago my friend was reading Harry Potter, I started reading it too and now i'm a huge potterhead. I just can't stop reading it :)

Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone was GREAT I liked the part where harry caught the snitch. when I was at the middle of the book I read to the super scary part even though it was just a book it was scary I told my mom and she said if its just a book and its scary that means the book is good . I love harry potter books!

I have always loved the movies, so I decided to try and read the books finally! I really loved this book. It was very action-packed and watching Harry and his friends try and solve the mystery of the sorcerer's stone was fun! I recommend this book to anyone who likes magic and mysteries.

This is a book about a boy named Harry Potter who learns he is a wizard. I did not like this book because I was reading The Hobbit at the time and I hated Harry Potter.

harry potter is great book for magic lovers it is a realy fun book

I am not exactly a Potterhead, but I can see why people love the Harry Potter series. It is full of magic, magic that we can only dream of possessing. Reading the Harry Potter series is even better than dreaming about it, since we have a fantastic story line too.

Call me a Harry Potter geek, but....Harry Potter is probably the best book series ever!

This classic story of a boy named Harry, who turns out to be a wizard, is a fun read and will have you rooting for the Gryffindor quidditch team. If you like books with magic, you will like this book. This is a lighter read than the rest of the series.
