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 the best in the Harry Potter series. I double dog dare you to name a book that can beat this one. I did not think so. Anyways, if you like stories where characters must use their intellect through challenges, read this. Dumbledore shows off most of his wisdom in this book. The author did this so you could disagree with the Malfoys about Dumbledore later in the book.

it was a dark night. The evil wizard, Voldemort, was in the house of the Potters'. The only person in that house who survived was Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling brings you the #1 International Bestselling bookseries, Harry Potter. What made Harry so famous is because he defeated Voldemort. Living eleven years in a miserable foster family, Harry never knew he was a wizard. Go with Harry on his adventure as he begins his first year in Hogwarts. Flying broomsticks, two faced man, the year really is very adventurous and fantastic. Now, someone is trying to steal the Sorcerer's Stone to bring Voldemort back. And someone in Hogwarts is in the middle of it. Read and go on with Harry as he encounters this challenge.
