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.

Awsome book
I've read the books twice. It's a great feel better read. It's second best series to the sorcerer's ring.
This book is a great start to the Harry Potter series. Harry lives with his aunt and uncle in Little Whinging, and gets to experience 2 different lifestyles in a year! PLEASE READ BOOK EFORE WATCHING MOVIE! Thank you.
This is the first book in the Harry Potter series when Harry first discovers that he is a famous wizard who was the one to beat the most powerful dark wizard Lord Voldermort . In this book Voldermort returns in order to get the philosophers stone , the stone that leads to being immortal. This book is recommended for readers who can read big books with small prints .
Harry Potter is an amazing book that takes place in a magical world at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
