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 interesting book by J.K. Rowling was very cool and magical. Harry Potter and his friends Ron Weasely and Harmione Granger are his new friends. They enter a school called Hogwarts where a mystery about a sorcerer's stone and an evil Lord Voldemort...
Harry potter is amazing I found that the lines are different in the book to the movie wich I did not like but other wise it was good
Orphan Harry lives with his aunt, uncle, and rude cousin. He doesn't know he's a wizard until Hagrid (half giant man) comes along and takes him to Hogwarts. I loved the characters. J.k Rowling put a great amount of detail in this book. I didn't start reading 'Harry Potter" until weeks and weeks ago. It could be a month!!! I got them at age eight, started reading them when I was almost ten. Everything is were it should be. The order of the events made sense. I like how Harry is like a final contestant. He's the one going to face the opponent.
