HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER S STONE – J.K. Rowling Online now

A special new edition in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer s Stone, with a stunning new cover illustration by Caldecott Medalist Brian Selznick.

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.

This gorgeous new edition in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer s Stone features a newly designed cover illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Brian Selznick, as well as the beloved original interior decorations by Mary GrandPré.
