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.

Harry Potter has always believed his parents died in a car crash. But really though, how could a car crash kill Lily and James Potter? After a cannibalistic giant named Hagrid shows up at the vacation house, Harry's miserable life changes for the better or the worse. Noe he realizes his letters were from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. So now that is where he is off to for his school years. Seven, to be exact. There is kooky teachers, new faces, zany things, and GHOSTS. There is Peeves the Poltergeist who is worth two locked doors and a trick stair case if you meet him while late for class. But these are minor problems. Harry is now having to face many dangers, now that he knows himself more. And the biggest one yet? Harry, Ron, and Hermione must face He-who-must-not-be-named, You-Know-Who, the dark Wizard Voldemort.
I love Harry Potter I have a search
I love the book Harry Potter because its about a boy named Harry, and he finds out that his parents are wizards and he survived an evil wizard named Voldemort. He went to the wizard school called Hogwarts and he became a very famous Wizard in the school. I recommend this book and others should read it. This book has a lot of action.
