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.

Amazing book! Ever since I read this I've been obsessed with this book series. I've read this book over and over again but I never tire of the wonderful world that J.K.Rowling (the author) has created. It's sweet, funny, mysterious and best of all beautifully written.

This book was awesome. The first chapter is really confusing just for your information. I love Harry Potter but I like Percy Jackson more. :}

Harry Potter is such a fantastic series! It's way better than Twilight, and it's also nothing like Twilight. In fact, I think Twilight copied it! Harry is a young boy whose parents died when he was a baby, and now he lives with his rude relatives and their son. They treat him terribly. One day though, Harry gets a bunch of letters saying to take him to a wizard school, and when Harry finally manages to go, things start to change. In a very bad way!
