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.

A boy who lives with his neglecting aunt and uncle discovers something about himself. Not only is he a wizard, he is also the boy who lived. The boy who survived the wicked Lord Voldemort, or You-Know-Who. On his journey in Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry makes some new friends: Hermione, an intelligent muggle-born, and Ron, a red-headed Weasley boy that completed the trio. He also befriends Hagrid, the gamekeeper of the school. During the school year, he learns that though the Dark Lord, Lord Voldemort, was defeated, he was trying to be reborn. A strange professor was the body that Voldemort chose to share and what Voldemort wanted was a stone that would make him live again. Harry stops him from getting the stone and lives happily ever after, well not really.
Harry potter is such a good series. I am a total Ravenclaw when it comes down to it. This series is a must, I applaud J.K. Rowling for getting the guts to write and make the series so appealing to all generations.
