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 ,but not as good as Rick Riordan.
Wow a great start to the Harry Potter series. It is about a boy named harry potter and he is an orphan since his parents died in a " car crash" but harrypotter does not think so... Anyway now he lives with his quick-temper uncle vermin and his aunt and his cosin Dudley. But when Harry revives a letters that his uncle is quick to burn he meets hagrid a half giant and escape with him to the school hog warts a school for magic ...and that's whe the adventer starts... This book is part of my favourite series of books. It's best when it is read to you -that's how I read it... But then I read it to myself Tip- don't don't don't don't watch the movie before the book it really really really really BADLY spoils the book. I Hope you like this book and review it. Thank you for reading this book report. By!!!!
It is a very nice book and it is about a 11 years boy Harry who lives with his tiresome uncle, aunt and his fat cousin Dudley.Then he meets Rubeus Hagrid a giant who takes him to a magical world and he goes to a school of magic Hogwarts where he finds new friends and enemies and comes to know about Voldemort who killed his parents
This wasn't the best book in the series ( I've read all the books) but it's okay
