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.

first book is great!!!!!!! compared to the book, the movie is not good. but the movie is way better than the percy jackson one! that movie sucks.
Amen, sister. The Percy Jackson movies are NOTHING like the books. if u r going to watch those movies, READ THE BOOK FIRST! the books are ALWAYS better than the movies!
This is the first in the harry potter series.it's so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's about this boy who thinks his parents died in a car crash but actually he's a wizard!
Read all the books in the series and these four started it all. My FAVORITE book series of all time.
These books are really good! They describe all parts very well. You can imagine your self in that position. And also put your selves in anybody's shoes. I recommend these books to people who like mystery, romance, adventure,magic, ad much more!!
