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 a meaningful opening to the Harry Potter series. Harry Potter thinks that his parents will killed in a car crash and that is why he lives at his mean uncle and aunt's house. But it turns out that he is a wizard and that his parents weren't killed in a car crash. Hope you enjoy!

i love the harry potter book, they are the best, the movies are good to
My mom doesn't allow me to read Harry Potter😭 but I can already tell that it is a super good book.
Harry Potter is based on a boy named Harry Potter, who lost his parents from the antagonist, Voldemort. As you can see, people see Harry Potter in many ways. A miracle, survivor, or hero (etc.) The main reason why Harry Potter is the protagonist is that he survived Voldemort's deadliest attack. This story follows Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as he discovers that he is a famous wizard and begins his education. The film stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, with Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. Harry Potter will then encounter challenges that will try to kill him because Voldemort has not succeeded in killing Potter. I hope everyone would consider reading this story because it's a tale of the power of love and friendship that everybody should learn by the end of this story. 5 stars for me! I really loved it!
This is the start of a great series. It is fantastic book series and fun for everyone. I defiantly recommend this book. I have always love it and always will.
Of course, Harry Potter is amazing. The first book, while it's the shortest, is still one of the best ones! This book is where it all started, and it's fun to watch Harry discover his magic.
Harry discovers that he is a wizard and he gets a letter that he is to attend hogwarts a academy for wizards and witches. There he meets some friends including Ron and Hermine and becomes close friends with them. Then he encounters voltamort and evil wizard and survies...
