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 this book. So exiting and so much adventure. My friends say it's boring but I think it's my favorite Book I've Read.
love the movies and the books. Each book it seems to get better but I have to say this set a pretty high standard.

I've never read the entire book I read the first ten chapters but then I got bored, but my friend is begging me to finish reading it so I guess I will?
this is a very special novel! its the gateway to a whole world of fantasy, which will keep you hooked! you will fall in love with hogwars and harry and his friends. this is a perfect book for anyone!
I. LONG before you were a kid read it. I think that is what the future is a good idea and a lot more interesting and she can be very high on her and her personality as a child is not just the future with her family as they do and they can get her.
I don't like this book, because I don't seem it interesting to me than Percy Jackson. I'm sorry Mr. Rowling, but I do must say I hate this book.
Well I didn't read it on here but I've read it before and it's really good!
Realy good
I like the story
