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.

This book is awsome. When I read the book I felt like I was apart of it. It allows the brain's imaginary to work.
I love this book
I love this book!!!!!!!
I love this book! It is about a kid named Harry Potter, who has been living a normal life, other than his parents being killed when he was a small baby. He has been mistreated hid entire life by his only remaning relitives, his aunt and uncle. One day he gets a letter, but it is ripped out of his hand by his uncle, who reads it and goes read faced. His aunt comes, reads it, and just about faints! After moving 3 or 4 times to get away from the rush of letters coming in, a huge man come, and tells him he is a WIZARD... All of the suspense holds you in, you´ll never want to stop reading.
