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 LOVED THIS BOOK!!! This is one of the best books I have read in my life because of all the action, adventure, and fantasy!!!
This book is awesome. I have read all of the Harry Potter books and this one is one of the best. The characters are humorous and dramatic.
This book has it all. This book is full of entertainment, excitement, fun, and danger. If your looking for a book to read I garuntee Harry Potter won't let you down. He is a magical boy who is arch enimies with voldemort who is also known as Tom Riddle. I bet you will like Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
I truly love this book so much and love the whole series by J.K. Rowling. This book is the very first book of her series Harry Potter. The book will take you to a whole other place. Like when I am reading in the car or school it is like I can see every thing taking place right in front of my eyes. It is truly magical.
This book is soo good. So is the rest of the series - so keep reading. This is my favorite series of all time. I'm so glad I read it, and you will be too if you read it. The characters are realistic, which I like, even if living under the stairs isn't. READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
This is an amazing book! My review is: Great book! Yes, there ARE swear words, and there is violence, but it captures a reader and won't let go! I seriously spent hours and didn't set it down! It is good! Harry Potter goes from being an orphan in the worst of spots to being the greatest wizard of all times. His friends stand by his side faithfully. Harry has to find what the sorcerer's stone and one of his teachers has to do with his past.
The BEST book in the series, there is so much detail and great action. It is described and introduced so well! Great book!
