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 is the first book in the BEST SERIES EVER!!!!! (In my opinion), and you have to read it if you know what's good for you. It is about a boy named Harry Potter, a wizard,and his parents are killed by an evil sorcerer named...... Well, I can't say it. I'll just say You-Know-Who. So anyways, his parents die when he is only a baby, and he is sent off to live with his only living relatives.... Muggles. His Aunt and Uncle treat him horribly, and his cousin Dudley bullies him a lot. When a letter arrives, all hope isn't lost for harry, and he boards the Hogwarts express and makes a friend named Ron Weasley. At Hogwarts, they are put in Gryffindor with a bossy, bushy haired girl, who they eventually make friends with after they take out a troll on Halloween. They also go to many classes during the year and experience many adventures! Read the book to find out! I guarantee you'll love it! 😜😜

This is the best book series ever! I read the whole series and loved it, all, Book 1 to Book 7, and when I told everyone in my class how awesome it was, over half of my class dived into it automatically, with no complains. It has been a while after I finished the series, but I'm happy that two of my best friends are already catching up, and are reading the 4th book. Great series! Love it!
