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.

Best Book EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!! YOU MUST READ IT!!!!! And you have to read it first.😀😀

Oh, I loved this so much, I read it 3 times. The characters are relatable and well developed. The only thing I’m disappointed in is that I still haven’t gotten my Hogwarts acceptance letter yet.

Love it! How do you not like Harry Potter? I have enen visited the sets in London. Also, if you need something to read, choose Harry Potter! Or, you could just, like, you know, read Keeper of the Lost Cities! It's just as good!
