Magical! I think it is a great use if you are bored. I read it all the time when I have no friends around! It feels so great it's like you are in it! Movies, other books are great but, they will be moved on. But no! Harry Potter will always be here! I hope my grandchildren's will read it and grandchildren's will read it and grandchildren's will read it, well you get the point! LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER!

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.

Oh my goodness! Reading this book will never ever be a waste of your time, the Harry Potter series is a must read! After reading the first one you will just want to keep on reading it! The Harry Potter books are a classic that you must read at least one in your lifetime! Also seeing the movies would be great as well.
it has some parts that are not in the movie and very clear specific things a very good book i have read this almost 4 times cuz its good i am reading harry potter 3
The awards Harry Potter has earned says it all. I was SO hooked after reading just five pages. READ IT!!!!!
The Harry Potter series aqre the best! There is never a dull moment and it's not super long and it isn't very hard to read at all!!! I am now on the fourth book of this series, and I think that boys and girls could read it!
This is the best book series I've ever read! This book is never boring and I could never put it down. I first read it about two years ago, and I am rereading the series again right now. I also listen to the CD's every night. I highly recommend this book to kids from ages 8-15 or even older.
I read this book about two weeks ago and it is great! I am now on the 4th book. Definitly reccomened it!
Harry Potter is an awsome book. Many doubt that they can finish it, but atleast watch the movies. The book is great and J.K Rowling is my Inspiration, she is what encouraged me to write Foriegn Steps Sieries (not finished yet with book one)
did you know harry potter lived with his uncle but sleepted under a cup bord and i love ron hes soo dreamy
I think Harry Potter was very poor. But it is so nice to learn magic! I want to be just like him except poor.
