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 AMAZING! I RECOMMEND IT FOR AGES 8 AND UP. SOME TOUGH WORDS AND WORDS THAT ARE HARD, BUT OVERALL, A GOOD BOOK!

In this book, harry is introduced to the magic world and left the "muggles" world. He learned that he defeated the great dark wizard Voldemort when he was a baby. Now as his adapting to his magic life, the weak wizard makes a comeback to rise again. This book is really good since it introduces the plot and main characters throughout the whole series.

After being trapped in the same old rotten cupboard for 11 years, Harry reaches an astonishing point. Since the age of 1, he had been living with his cruel aunt and uncle and his annoying cousin, until the morning the letter from the school of witchcraft, Hogwarts arrives, inviting Harry to become on of its students. But, his guardians (aunt and uncle)

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-that's how I read it...

I Hope you like this book and review it. Thank you for reading this book report. By!!!!

The Harry Potter books are just perfect. In every single possible way. I would never ever change a single thing about them. There's not really much to say. It's just a wonderfully magical adventure.

I've read this book before but I'm so excited to read it again. This book is so cool. I love when they fight a troll. if you like magic, mean relatives, orphans and awesomeness then you should totally read this book.
