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.

I may not have read this book but I hear it is such a great adventure book. (I have watched the movie though):)

long though

This is an awesome book. It is a sort of book that is about good overcoming bad. It is about a boy named Harry Potter trying to defeat the evil Voldemort (you know who).

What can I say? These books are incredible. Magical and wonderful and beautiful. In every way flawless. I am pretty much obsessed with these books. I HIGHLY recommend to everyone on earth! Insanely perfect!

i love this series, btw if you noticed i say " i love this series" for a lot of my reviews that is because i love a lot of books, and i read a lot, really fast, and i read more than 1 book at a time, like 1 at school and 3 at home not at the same time just randomly i go pick up a book i was reading and read it, right now i am reading mockingjay, the red pyramid, shadow throne, and a 72 chapter blood of olympus that is someone else's version on wattpad, btw if you did not notice I LOVE BOOKS

I really love this book. It is a great way to begin a great series

This book gives a intro to Harry's life, what it is like to be tortured by other careless people.
