About this product

Product Information

The beloved first book of the Harry Potter series, now fully illustrated by award-winning artist Jim Kay. For the first time, J.K. Rowling's beloved Harry Potter books will be presented in lavishly illustrated full-color editions. Kate Greenaway-award-winning artist Jim Kay has created over 100 stunning illustrations, making this deluxe format a perfect gift as much for a child being introduced to the series, as for the dedicated fan. 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.

ReviewsPraise for the original publication of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone : "A wonderful first novel. Much like Roald Dahl, J. K. Rowling has a gift for keeping the emotions, fears, and triumphs of her characters on a human scale, even while the supernatural is popping out all over. The book is full of wonderful, sly humor [and] the characters are impressively three-dimensional (occasionally, four-dimensional!) and move along seamlessly through the narrative. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is as funny, moving and impressive as the story behind its writing. Like Harry Potter, [J. K. Rowling] has wizardry inside, and has soared beyond her modest Muggle surroundings to achieve something quite special." -- The New York Times Book Review "A charming, imaginative, magical confection of a novel... A glorious debut, a book of wonderful comic pleasures and dizzying imaginative flights. There is no cause to doubt Rowling's abilities and promise, and every reason to expect great things, truly great things, from her in the future." -- The Boston Sunday Globe "You don't have to be a wizard or a kid to appreciate the spell cast by Harry Potter." -- USA Today "The story delights and the writing gives you goosebumps, the good kind." -- Chicago Tribune * "Readers are in for a delightful romp with this award-winning debut from a British author who dances in the footsteps of P. L. Travers and Roald Dahl. Rowling leaves the door wide open for a sequel; bedazzled readers will surely clamor for one." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review, Praise for the original publication of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone "A wonderful first novel.

    Bought as a gift

    We didn't have a chance to read, as we bought for another child as a gift, but we've already read the whole series (regular edition) and love them. I did take a peek and the pictures are awesome. The book is heavy and thick (in a good way) and I am tempted to buy some for our family in the future. I feel like it is perfect for reading as a family or a parent reading to their 6-9 year old (or of course anyone able to read on their own).

    great book

    The pictures are very well done and perfect for my 5 year old grandson who needs a few pictures in his books at this early age. I would have given it 5 stars but our copy has many damaged pages, which look like it was done in production.

  • Good to see this addition to the Harry Potter series.

    Nice to see an illustrated volume of the Harry Potter books. My granddaughter loved it. It helps so much with understanding the vocabulary that contains unfamiliar words for younger readers.

  • Great with One Scratch!

    Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Illustrated Edition are Great. Slipcover are Great and Pages are Great Except a Small Damaged on the Near Spine, But It's Alright!

  • Exactly what i wanted.

    The book is sturdy. Not every page has pictures, but the ones that do are is exactly what I expected, and the style match the cover of every other Harry Potter book. I cant wait for the rest of the series to be illustrated!
