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.

it is a very interesting book that is very descriptive and cool that is my review and I hope you all like it too enjoy

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

I love this book so much! I fell in love with the wizarding world.

This is the best book ever

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!

i love all the harry potter books and when i read this one i wanted to keep reading the book series

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, or more commonly known as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, is a cool and magnificent book about a young boy named Harry who goes to a school for witches and wizards. Charming, brilliant book.
