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.

My dad read me the series. We finished the last book the other day.

Four words. THIS BOOK IS AMAZING

Harry potter is the best! The way J.K Rowling wrote this is AMAZING. (And one thing...isn't it supposed to be "harry potter and the philosophers stone"?)

It's the same thing as sorcerer's stone.(:

In America it is called Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone.

i really love harry potter books

I have read the whole series and this is when the best book journey takes off.

I would definitely recommend the Harry Potter series to anyone who has not read it, I give it a 10 out of 10.

I know I am one of of trillions(gazillions, millions, billions,) of Harry Potter fans, but I just have to say. J.K. Rowling (in my opinion) is one of the greatest authors who ever lived. I L-O-V-E LOVE the Harry Potter books. I started just near the end of last year, and I am on the fourth book. I won't give any spoilers, but those of you who liked the first book, I VERY MUCH SO RECCOMEND THE REST OF THE SERIES. I wish I could give this book five trillion stars!!!
