For the first time, J. K. Rowling's beloved Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is presented in lavishly illustrated full-color editions. Award winning artist Jim Kay has created over 100 stunning illustrations, making this deluxe hardcover a perfect gift as much for a child being introduced to the series, as for the dedicated fan. This oversized book contains the complete and unabridged text and will be cherished for years to come.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! |
