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.

This book is soooo good. I love it. This book starts Harry's adventure throughout the story and I really recommend it for thouse who love magical adventurous books.

I read the whole Harry Potter series over spring break in 2nd grade. Harry potter and magic rock, and so does hagrid.

It is the sorcerer’s stone not magic stone

It is called different things in different places

These are the best books ever! J.K. Rowling is a great author and these books are so much better then the Twilight Series! I love these books and I hope you read them
