The landmark publishing event of 2015 -- a full-colour illustrated edition of J。K。 Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone with breathtaking illustrations by Jim Kay, winner of the Kate Greenaway medal。

For the first time, J。K。 Rowling's beloved Harry Potter books will be presented in lavishly illustrated full-color editions。 Prepare to be spellbound by Jim Kay's dazzling depiction of the wizarding world and much loved characters in this full-colour illustrated hardback edition of the nation's favourite children's book -- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone。 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。 Brimming with rich detail and humour that perfectly complements J。K。 Rowling's timeless classic, Jim Kay's glorious illustrations will captivate fans and new readers alike。

When a letter arrives for unhappy but ordinary Harry Potter, a decade-old secret is revealed to him that apparently he's the last to know。 His parents were wizards, killed by a Dark Lord's curse when Harry was just a baby, and which he somehow survived。 Leaving his unsympathetic aunt and uncle for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry stumbles upon a sinister mystery when he finds a three-headed dog guarding a room on the third floor。 Then he hears of a missing stone with astonishing powers, which could be valuable, dangerous -- or both。 An incredible adventure is about to begin!

This was a reread for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it。 The last time that I read it was in third grade, so looking back now as a junior in high school, I was able to more fully appreciate the masterful work by Rowling and her immaculate attention to details。

I absolutely love this book series。 It is one of my favorite one。 I love how J。K Rowling writes。 this book is timeless。 This is my 2nd time reading it and I have not gotten bored of it yet。 Great book to read if you just want to curl up with a good book。

Estela

Si te gusta la fantasía este es un libro perfecto para ti。 Una trama que engancha, un mundo maravilloso y complejo y una historia fascinante。 Yo, soy bastante parcial porque soy una mega fan de esta saga, así no te arrepentirás de leer la saga。

Ärge laske end häbeneda sellest, et tegu on mingi "lastekaga" - hea kirjandus on hea kirjandus, sobib nii tütrele, emale kui (vana)vanaemale。 Sukelduge koos Harryga võlurimaailma, mängige lendluudpalli ning ärge muretsege kolme peaga Tupsu pärast。 Sest Teate-Küll-Kes on veel kusagil kaugemal。 Vist。 Oh need lapsepõlve muretud mängud, ja-jaa。。。Goodreads 5/5 ("it was amazing") 。。。more

I was worried it wasn’t going to live up to the hype, but it totally does!!Here’s a few of my thoughts while reading:I want Hagrid to adopt me。I also want to be adopted by the Weasley Family。The Dursley’s could die and I wouldn’t care。 I had no idea Quirrel was bad, and I have no idea how I didn’t see it coming。Again I want Hagrid to adopt me。

I realized this is only my second time reading the books (first was around ten years ago, in middle school when I was super into it), although I’ve seen all of the movies probably over a dozen times。 I forgot how this series aged with the characters, so this is a children’s book rather than YA although still very enjoyable to read。 Some thoughts: - Most of the plot isn’t important to the overall series, it’s more focused on introducing the characters and world。 All the little details about the w I realized this is only my second time reading the books (first was around ten years ago, in middle school when I was super into it), although I’ve seen all of the movies probably over a dozen times。 I forgot how this series aged with the characters, so this is a children’s book rather than YA although still very enjoyable to read。 Some thoughts: - Most of the plot isn’t important to the overall series, it’s more focused on introducing the characters and world。 All the little details about the wizarding world, like massive number of staircases in Hogwarts, make it immersive。- The description of Harry’s life with the Dursleys is very depressing to read as an adult。 - Dumbledore’s bait and switch at the end is kind of a jerk move。 。。。more

A lot of people who read HP as young adults/ children - not to mention people who only saw the films - now seem to find quite a few things to criticize about the series, such as plot holes and controversies surrounding the author (which are troubling), but that doesn't change my experience when re-reading these books。 They may not belong in the canon of literary masterpieces, but the HP books are the only ones where I've adored reading every single sentence; and never did I ever feel tempted to A lot of people who read HP as young adults/ children - not to mention people who only saw the films - now seem to find quite a few things to criticize about the series, such as plot holes and controversies surrounding the author (which are troubling), but that doesn't change my experience when re-reading these books。 They may not belong in the canon of literary masterpieces, but the HP books are the only ones where I've adored reading every single sentence; and never did I ever feel tempted to put one of those books down to take a break from this world。 They truly are magical in how they suck you in。 。。。more

The art work in this book is EXCEPTIONAL !! I am now a HUGE FAN of Minalima。 I loved this book so much, because of their art, I got 2 others!!! I am going to collect all the Minalima books that I can。 This book was filled with gorgeous drawings, portraits, and paper crafts。 A wonderful book, not only for HP fans, but for anyone who enjoys art。 Loved this! And it was so much fun to reread this wonderful book as well。 <3
