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 feel as if my eyes were opened in this series to new & magical things, why couldn't every series be as long as this one! JK Rowling is brilliant & clever! The characters are vibrant & actually have personality (hint hint, sorry Bella from twilight) the books were so good & my issue is voldemorts death takes up two sentences & Snapes is a few chapters... Good Job, JK Rowling!!
A page turning book with lot's of adventure and magic!
I liked this book beacause I like good wizards not evil wizards
Harry Potter isn't anyone special. At least, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon have made him seem like he's nothing special, pushing him back literally, while letting Dudley, (who really is a dud) have the spotlight. Until Harry's eleventh birthday. He then finds out that he is a revolutionary...wizard? Travel with Harry Potter to Hogwarts, finding new friends through his fame, embarrassing accidents, and a whole boatload of fun for all ages!
The book was awesome.
I absolutely love this book because J.K Rowling makes it so everyone can understand it, although you still can find ways to talk about it and think what if?Also I like how she mixs lots of a motions into one book. THIS BOOK IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An absolutely amazing series! JK Rowling is a great writer! Awesome vocab and details. The first book starts with Harry living with the Dursleys, his aunt, uncle, and cousin, who he lives with as an orphan. He finds a suprsing letter in the mail one day, just for him...
Harry potter and the sorcerers stone is about a boy named harry who has to live with his mean annoying aunt and uncle. He then gets admitted to Hogwarts and has allot of exiting adventures !
