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.

Just take my word. Harry Potter is aaawwwsssooommmeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have read every single Harry Potter Book 7 times for luck, and same with the movies. Back in the 3rd grade, I thought it would be scary, because of 'The Half-Blood Prince', I was terrified of vampires then because of a movie I watched, and didn't read them until 5th grade. Then I bought all the books. I read all of them in 3 days. Yes. 3 DAYS. The Sorcerers Stone is my second favorite because it explains his sad life, but my favorite has to be "The Goblet Of Fire'.
