Гарри Поттер никогда не был звездой команды по квиддичу, не летал на метле высоко над землей, набирая очки. Он не знает заклинаний, никогда не помогал растить дракона и ни разу не носил мантию-невидимку. Все, что он знает, — это невыносимая жизнь с Дурслями, его ужасными тетей и дядей и их отвратительным сыном Дадли — толстым избалованным хулиганом. Комната Гарри — крошечный чулан под лестницей. И у мальчика уже одиннадцать лет не было никакого праздника по случаю его дня рождения. Но все это изменится, когда сова-почтальон принесет ему таинственное письмо с приглашением в невероятное место. Место, в котором Гарри найдет не только друзей, любимый квиддич и магию буквально во всем, от занятий до еды, но и великую судьбу, которая ждала его… Но переживет ли Гарри эту встречу?.. 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 GrandPre.
