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.

it one of the best books in the world i love it i read the whole story JK Rowling is the best
Harry Potter is an 11 years old boy who is very unusual. This is because he was baby sitter by his uncle and aunt (for which he was the only one to survive the death spell). He then started to attend a school called Hogwarts. He learned his parents were magical and got friends (Hermione and Ron). This book was very fun. Even though it is long, it is very interesting and funny.
This book is truly magical! The first book in the harry potter series, it documents harry's first year as a student at hogwarts; a school for young wizards.
I enjoyed this movie immensely. But in Harry Potter Sorcerer's Stone it is easier to see what is going on in the Harrys head. This actually makes his actions and motivation make more sense. Instead of just running through the dark and then for some reason veering toward the deserted and creepy building we can sometimes hear his thoughts and Harrys explanations and justify his logic. (Read the book instead of just watching the movie its worth your time.)
Harry Potter is awesome. I like the books better than the movies because the books have so much more detail! I read the series like twice a year. If you haven't read this yet only saw the movie, you should totally read it.
this book can be nerve tingling ,confusing ,exciting and just plain fun!!!!

i dont like harry potter because mostly it is never my favorite book or favorite movie so why should i like something i never like so i should give this a thumbs down
This is an entertaining book about a boy who finds out that he is really a wizard and that has to go to a special school called Hogwarts where everyone is trained wizardry and witchcraft. Read this book to find out about all of his exciting adventures.
This is my second favorite Harry Potter book. My favorite is Goblet of Fire. I love when Harry, Ron and Hermione play the wizard's chess game. There is so much action and adventure in this book it was hard to put it down!
