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 started reading this book i knew i had to read the whole series

I am reading this book right now.i have 26 copies total of all of the books,but since I just got some more Harry Potter books last weekend,I decided to read the whole series all over again.

HARRY POTTER IS SUPER AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this story and this series. my mom got me into this series 3 years ago.

i wonder if its a good book because my aunt loves these book?

LOVE it!!!Who would't?!

Let me say a couple words...HARRY POTTER IS AWESOME!! Okay, just had to say that...anyways the H.P. series is unbelievable, J.K. Rowling is a very gifted and talented author which shines through the series. I recommend the books to people who love humor, suspense, action, romance, {the romance doesn't really hit until the the 5th book; Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoneix} and people who love to read!!

I could NOT put this book down when i first started reading it, unbelievable series....SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!!
