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.

in my, opinion, this is an AMAZING book. i really thing you should read it! i mean, isn't the harry potter series the best? i have read it only once, but that doesn't mean i don't like it. it even contains what i think should be the best quote : "harry, yer a wizard.".
after you finish this one, do the rest of the series!
In my opinion this was one of THE BEST books I've ever read. Summary: Harry Potter, the main character, had to live with/get bullied by his aunt and uncle. Harry could do unusual things; he could make glass vanish, he could regrow all his hair in a night, he could even sort of fly and end up on the school roof! One day when he was fetching the mail for Uncle Vernon, he saw a letter... for him! Harry ... was a wizard.

Harry potter is my favorite books and i own all seven books.
This book's great and fun to read!
I think I will like this book!!!😀
I have never read this book how is it?🤔
I like this book, but it's the Philosopher's stone, isn't it?
The name has been changed in the US at least
It is so amazing to have Harry Potter be read online, and it's free! (I personally have the set and the Hogwarts library at home) And what's better is that once you start reading, you'll never want to part with it!
I love the series! Especially the second and third books! But, since this is about the first book, I did not really like it. some parts are interesting but personally, a lot of the book is boring. Overall it is fine. I guess. For people who are reading this, remember this is how I personally feel about the first book and if you disagree I understand.
