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 shall 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 great gift as much for a kid being introduced to the series, as for the dedicated fan.
 
Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points even as 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 — an excellent big swollen spoiled bully. Harry’s room is a tiny closet on the foot of the stairs, and he hasn’t had a birthday party in eleven years.
 
But all that may be about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with a call for participation to a fantastic place that Harry — and someone who reads about him — will find unforgettable.
