I love this adventure-twisted novel packed with humor, action, and tragedy. It was a original book and inspiring in a whole different way!

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.

Rowling depicted this book perfectly. I have read every single book, dressed up as Heromine and Cho 2 years in a row, and visited orlando studios and rode every single ride. Just saying, BUTTERBEER IS AWESOME.
Harry Potter finds out that he is a wizard, and goes to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He finds friends and will face off with his enemy that killed his parents. Will he survive?
The book is awesome. This is my favorite series
This book was so well written! I couldn't put it down, and it had a way of drawing me in so that I could feel what these characters felt, and I felt like I was experiencing what they were. This book rocks!!
This book is filled with wonders, excitement, mysteries, sadness, adventures, and teamwork. I love this book because it is filled with things I love. In this book there is things that you would not see at home. there is mysteries to be solved.
BEST SERIES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
