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 totally love harry potter but i thoung jk rowling could do a better job writting this book and i thought it would be really intresting to read but when i read it it was a total waste of time i now hate harry potter. at frist i as dying for the next harry potter series to come out but when i read it it is a total waste of time
i think j.k Rowling is a really good writer and i love the harry potter series. (you might want to check your spelling.)
big book but facinateing
What should I read when I finish the seires?
There are MANY books in the same genre as Harry Potter.. I would recommend.. well, anything by Rick Riordan.. and also the Septimus Heap series, that's a good one.. Wrinkle in Time series.. and all the ones that Miss Bibliophile said :) Have a fun time reading!
Percy Jackson series, the Charlie Bone series, Hunger Games... honestly there are a lot of great books/series you should check out! Good luck!! :-)
This is the beginning of the enchanting world of Harry Potter. I will not be a spoiler for those of you who have not read it, but will tell you one or two things: it is a very good book, and it is when Harry discovers that he is a wizard.
This book was awesome, it was full of adventure and though it was pretty long it was worth reading, I also read the next book which is pretty cool too. The Harry Potter series is addicting and I always wish that I was a witch. Then I wouldn't have to clean my room the muggle way! :)
Raise your hand if you are a die-hard Harry Potter fan! *raises hand*
