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 harry potter book!!!

This series was the key to my whole life. I don't know how I would have survived if I didn't know about Quidditch or Hogwarts. I love love love love the characters, especially Snape and Malfoy (yes I'm a Slytherin lol). I also love the Weasley Twins and I was really upset at all the different characters who died during the war. Thank you J.K. Rowling for creating this amazing world that I will always remember!

It's just like the 3 book Harry finds out that he is a wizard and has his first friend Hagrid.

I am a massive Harry Potter fan! Follow if you agree.

It was as if I could go to Hogwarts and do magic myself, If I knew how to get there.

I like scary stuff I watch scary stuff all the time I like to read scary stuff to Gary stuff is one of my favorite things in the whole wide world but no one no one would probably give it a thumbs up because everyone really doesn't like scary stuffI don't know whycan anyone tell me

I've read the whole series and they are so good!!!

It is kinda scary... but i like it. it gives me nightmares though. I like the Quittich thing the best. I recomend it if your okay with really... scary... stuff...

I would think the age rating would be 8 and up... for me at least.
