Synopsis
After 10 miserable years with his aunt and uncle, Harry Potter is invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Each book follows another year in Harry's education while more of his frightening destiny is revealed., Harry Potter spent ten long years living with Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, an aunt and uncle whose outrageous favoritism of their perfectly awful son Dudley leads to some of the most inspired dark comedy since Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But fortunately for Harry, he's about to be granted a scholarship to a unique boarding school called THE HOGWORTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY, where he will become a school hero at the game of Quidditch (a kind of aerial soccer played high above the ground on broomsticks), he will make some wonderful friends, and, unfortunately, a few terrible enemies. For although he seems to be getting your run-of-the-mill boarding school experience (well, ok, even that's pretty darn out of the ordinary), Harry Potter has a destiny that he was born to fulfill. A destiny that others would kill to keep him from.

    YES!

    This was an actual first edition and it’s hard to tell the difference. Some people believe that because of the words “First American Edition” are printed on the copyright page that it’s a first edition. However a little trick they don’t realize that it can be a “First American Edition” or the 44th reprint or the first edition of the 100th reprint. People have to check the random placed numbers at the bottom. If there is a “1” (not a 01) in the clutter of numbers ie 3 5 7 9 1 2 4 6 8 that means it is a true first edition! I’m just glad I finally got my hands on a true first edition of this book. It’s in good condition. Thank you very much!

    Book Club Edition and NOT New

    Of course, everyone knows HP and the Sorcerer’s Stone is a fantastic book, the story is great. Now for this specific item, it didn’t specify it was a Book Club Edition (much cheaper and smaller than the normal book) and that it was used (the bottom corners are torned perhaps of putting it in and out of shelves). The dust jacket and edges of the book are not in “new” condition. Real value is around $5 or less. I attached pictures comparing it to a normal version of the hardcover book. As you can see even the panels are different, the completely red panel means it’s a cheaper made Book Club Edition. Also took very long to arrive, but I’m not basing my review on this because of the current situation going on around the world.

  • Harry Potter book

    My family loves the Harry Potter series. I started reading them in the late 1990s when I started buying them for my youngest son. My daughter and her 15 year old son are also addicted. Truly stories for the entire family. This is the first in the series, and a present for that daughter, who found it missing from her collection. We all own them in hardback! Can't recommend the series or J.K. Rowling, the author, highly enough.

  • Enchanting Read

    The book that sparked a generation's love for reading. This story is just as enjoyable today in my 30s as it was over 20 years ago when I was 11. Be immersed in this marvellous world of magic.

  • THE WIZARD REIGNS!!

    As with all of Rowling's books/movies/ this is fabulous! Always age appropriate depending on the time lines for the stories. We watched Harry and the gang grow from basically young children to intelligent and sophisticated young adults and loved every minute. This particular book was a gift for a students birthday. He is 10 so this book was a hit. I recommend it to all Potter fans. It has come in handy as a discussion topic for my class and we often do book reports on the series.
