The first adventure in the spellbinding Harry Potter saga - the series that changed the world of books forever
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive.

Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Our customer reviews
For all you Potterheads out there and Newcomers to the series. Yes, this book is an absolute wonder!
However, do not be fooled by the illustrated cover! This copy of Harry Potter is unfortunately not illustrated (Yes, I repeat. Not illustrated) Apparently after reading an article (which you can find here http://www.hypable.com/2014/03/20/bloomsbury-harry-potter-childrens-series-books/) states that this copy should not be confused with the 2015 fully illustrated Harry Potter book. (Which is currently being in development for release in early 2015)
I can honestly say, that I was astonished to see while flicking through the pages, no illustrations.
Although, If you're a newcomer to the Harry Potter series, certainly give this a read as it is a fantastic book which will keep you glued to the pages from start to finish and if you're a Potterhead (Like me) then you will surely be reunited with the "Boy Who Lived" all over again. So, sit back and enjoy the wondrous and magical ride that is called "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"show more
