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.

great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book is about a boy named harry. he goes to hogwarts scool of wichcraft and wizerdry. there he meets ron and hermionie who help him defeat a troll and later in the book they help him kill voldemort.

This is the best book series I ever read. J.k Rowling is an amazing author and she knows how to make you keep reading. If you don't read Harry potter your missing out big time!

in harry potter and the socerers stone harry finnaiy finds out how his parents die.they die from voldemort not a car crash.but harry didnt die from voldemort thats why he got invited to hogwarts.he was sorted to Griffendor.also he caught the golden snitch in his first quttich game.

harry potter and the socers stone is a good book.init harry finally finds out how his parents died.also he gets a invetion to hogwarts.he becomes friends with hermoine and ron.he also fights voldemort it was amazing.

In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Harry gets invited to Hogwarts. In Harry's first year, he has to face Voldomore.

Ilike the fourth harry potter book because it is an adventure .it has action packed.with qudich and other suries waiting in the goblet of fire

I like THE FOURTH HARRY POTTER BOOKS BECAUSE ADVENTURES WITH qudich and other wizard games inthe goblet of fire book.

Harry Poter is a amezing book .when you start to read at first it sounds like a normal book,but when you get to know it is like your in hogwarts your self.if you had not read this before i would give yu a long or small intro.It is about a boy named Harry poter that was sent to his unckle vernon and his aunt petunia with a child named duddley when harry was a baby.when harry grew up ,they treated him like a wareress .One day he finally through all his life ,he gets a letter assighened in his name when he is getting the mail.that is all i can tell you the rest is a surprise.the Harry Poter series is a type of series no one can ever forgetIf you forget ,harry would look for a spell to get your memory back.sneack peak,it is something to do with magic and wizardry.

I really liked this book because the author makes you feel as if you are there in the book but you're invisible and you can't talk.After I finished the book I was heart broken that it was over.I was also rather happy because I got to keep reading the series of Harry Potter.I really loved this book and I could read it over and over again without it being boring.
