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.

I love fantasies. When I saw everyone else was reading this book, I grabbed a copy from my school's library and I gave it a 10/10!
i think that is really fun, funny and it might teach people to be utterly brave

this book is so awesome!!!!!!!
i think it is a cool story!
I have heard soo many people talk about the Harry Potter series and I thought I would give it a try and I loved it! As soon as I started reading it I could not put it down. I really want to live in that magical world and go to Hogwarts. PS still waiting for my Hogwarts letter!
I loved this book a boy named harry moved in with his uncle because his parents died and his uncle cousin and uncles wife doesn't treat well and harry hates it there. Soon harry finds out he is a wizard and goes to a school for wizard named Hogwarts. There he meets hermione and Ron become friends and plays for the quidditch team. Harry spends a whole year there and by the end of the book he has to go home and come back next year. I found the book really interesting. This books relates to my life how I went to Texas and I had family I didn't even know about. I give this 5 starts because it was very suspenseful and interesting.
