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 book is really good! I think that everyone that like a good magical book should read this! The same goes for the movie! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this series
This is a book i recomend for ages 7 up. It is full of magic and wonder-so are the rest of the series
I really enjoyed this book and if you read it be sure to watch the movie. they are both really good. I recommend it to people who like magical fantasy books.
Harry potter opens a new world of things and evil. It's great!
500 stars. Locomotor motis. Best book I ever read. Maybe I should get into Percy Jackson...
This book was amazing! It was full of adventure and courage. I love the authors type of style. Joanne Rowling really knows how to make a good story so that you understand the storyline.
i liked the book it had grate suspense. cant wait to red next book! :)
This book is an amazing introduction to the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Suspenseful and magical, I feel like this book is perfect for people who just want to open up a nice book with a flashlight at 1:00 AM. J.K Rowling is a very good author for the 7 books of Harry Potter. Kids and adults alike must read this book. I wish I could be a witch.
This is a great book, if you like adventures I recommend you read this book. Read the book before you watch the movie because the movie is missing a few parts from the book. I loved both
