Book of Interest: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: The Illustrated Edition


It's not as if I don't already have a set of the hardcover books but I think this would be cool. It's the complete story but it will include illustrations throughout the book. Despite the description, it's not a comic book but artwork added in.


Book: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: The Illustrated Edition (Harry Potter book #1) by J.K. Rowling with illustrations by Jim Kay

Publication: October 6, 2015

Description:

For the first time, J. K. Rowling's beloved Harry Potter books will be presented in lavishly illustrated full-color editions. Kate Greenaway-award winning artist 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. Book one, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, is publishing on October 6, 2015.

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.
