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.

J.K. Rowling is the best author ever!!! Harry Potter is one of the best if the best book I have ever read! Harry is the main character, Ron and Hermione Are good friends of Harry's and they help Harry to go on a secret mission to find a very powerful stone. Harry needs to go through a series of levels to find it and who shale be waiting for him at the end, why the wizard that tried to kill him. What will happen next? I like this book because it is funny and I love magic and witchcraft! Harry Potter is an amazing kid who lives with "the muggles" and gets tortured around but at Hogwarts he is gifted almost every day. In the beginning his mom protects him from the spell that was supposed to kill Harry but it gets his mom instead. I think you would like this book because... magic, laughing, funny, witchcraft, explosions, unicorns.

This is the best series I've ever read! The first book is amazing because it tells you about how Harry Potter becomes a wizard, and his first year at Hogwarts. It sets up the story line for the other six books and it is amazing. J.K. Rowling was very smart with her writing and I really love all the detail she put into it. That is why I love Harry potter and the Sorcerers Stone.
