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.

When, I first heard about it, I was reluctant to read it. Now, I'm considering rereading it for the seventh time. Yes, it's THAT good! Totally recommend.

I am in sixth grade, I am a nice person, and can I be your friend.

This book is about a boy named Harry Potter who is a wizard but he has no idea! He lives with his rude Uncle and Aunt and their obease son Durley. But then a giant named Hagrid comes to take him to a wizard school called Hogwarts. But he has no idea how famous he is, and he doesnt know how much danger he is in either. Find out what happens to in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone!

So far, so good!
