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.

Scary! AWSOME!
I really love this book. It is a great way to begin a great series
This book gives a intro to Harry's life, what it is like to be tortured by other careless people.
I like the book Harry Potter because I think Harry, Ron and Hermione are brave characters because they go out at night when Filch is out with Miss Norris. Sometimes it's scary like when Harry falls off his broom and went to the hospital wing. I hope you can read this book!!!!!!
I want to read
This my favorite book becasue in this book i found out the really truth about how im a wizard to!!!! :0
This was a great introdution to a great book series. This book does everything a good "first book" does. They establish the characters and the reader like them. The display Voldem- I mean he that shall not be named. And make the readers love to hate him. Overall the book is a great start to the franchise that is Harry Potter. (I still didn't see the twist at the end coming.)
This is a introduction to the wizarding world of Harry potter.once I read this first book it was my favorite book ever.so I started the second one and look where i am now! I just finished the fith book yesterday. I hope you read it and if you like action and magic this is the book for you.😃
Harry is my hero he hermione and Ron are all freinds to me and those are freinds that I will never lose my hope or faith in. The Harry potter series (by the way I'm on book 6) is making me want to become an actress if they redo the movies exactly how j.k. Rowling wrote it. it is the best book in the world I hope you read it beacouse if you do you will gain dozens of friends. The only thing bad about this book that at the end of most books there is scary moments . So if you are not over age 7 this May not be a good book (p.s. Read it anyway) for you. I've always loved the books and make sure that you read them in order(if you don't you won't get it.) also the movies are way diffrent than the books so make sure to read the books to 😃. This is like a intro to the series. Please promise me to read them. Please.hope you like it!!!!!!
