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.

A great book that I really recommend.

This book is very fun! Harry Potter is born, and his parents were killed by Lord Voldemort. He has to live with Dudley, his Aunt, and his Uncle.

It was a good book. It is basically the movie with a couple different and added scenes, and I finished it in about an hour.

My sis got this book from her boy friend. She let me read it and it was one of the best books in the world. And that means alot coming from me.Cause, like, I am very , very, very picky! ;)
