The beloved first book of the Harry Potter series, now fully illustrated
by award-winning artist Jim Kay.
For the first time, J.K. Rowling's beloved Harry Potter books will be
presented in lavishly illustrated full-color editions. Award-winning
artist Jim Kay has created over 100 stunning illustrations, making this
deluxe format a perfect gift for a child being introduced to the series
and for dedicated fans.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.
