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.

The book Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone is a wonderful book to read if you enjoy books that involve magic, potions, and pastries. Harry Potter is a famous boy for a scar on his head. He does not have any parents and he lives with the Dursleys. He has never played any sport on a broomstick, he also has never had an invisibility cloak. All he knows right now is that he lives with the Dursleys and he does not like the Dursleys. One day he gets a mysterious letter by an owl messenger but he is not allowed to read it. What he does not know is that he belongs at Hogwarts just like his parents did. What do you think The school of Hogwarts is? Where do you think he got his famous scar? I highly recommend you read this book!

I am a BIG fan of the Harry Potter series! It’s about this boy named Harry who lives with his mean aunt, uncle, and cousin. Then, on his birthday, he learns the truth about what really happened to his parents, and found out he was (and still is) a wizard! He gets to go to Hogwarts, a school for witchcraft and magic! On his first day, he picks Gryffindor, the brave, which is one of the four houses. He makes friends with Ron and Hermione, who are also in his house. He also learns about You-Know-Who, aka. Voldemort (who, by the way, has no nose 😂), and is determined to find out the secret behind the evil antagonist/villain. I would recommend this book, and the whole series to people who like fantasy and adventure! I’ve read all the books so far, and I’ll give it a five star! 🤩

Such a good book i will really recommend watching and reading this book!

This is a amazing book! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is a magic/adventure fan (even if you don't like magic/adventure you should try reading this book).

This story is amazing. Harry is a boy tortured boy, who lives with his horrible aunt, uncle, and cousin. Until one day he receives a letter that says he's accepted into wizard school. At school he meets two friends and learns about he who shall not be named, and defeats him with learning different magic. He lives a good life. until Book 2.
