£25.70£30.40 (-15%)
Prepare to be spellbound by Jim Kay’s dazzling depiction of the wizarding world and much loved characters in this full-colour illustrated hardback edition of the nation’s favourite children’s book – Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Brimming with rich detail and humour that perfectly complements J.K. Rowling’s timeless classic, Jim Kay’s glorious illustrations will captivate fans and new readers alike.
When a letter arrives for unhappy but ordinary Harry Potter, a decade-old secret is revealed to him that apparently he’s the last to know. His parents were wizards, killed by a Dark Lord’s curse when Harry was just a baby, and which he somehow survived. Leaving his unsympathetic aunt and uncle for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry stumbles upon a sinister mystery when he finds a three-headed dog guarding a room on the third floor. Then he hears of a missing stone with astonishing powers, which could be valuable, dangerous – or both. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Every time we went to the library or went to a book store and saw this book, it was so beautiful that my daughters would always stop to look at it, so recently I bought this for my harry potter mad youngest’s birthday. It is a gorgeous book- the unabridged original story with detailed illustrations on every page. It’s so magical being able to see the characters described in the book really come alive, and in my youngest’s opinion, every illustration looks “right” for their descriptions in the book. The illustrations sometimes span one page, two pages, or are just interwoven with the text seamlessly to make for a great reading experience. Since the pages are much bigger and words larger than a traditional novel, it also makes it less daunting and more readable for younger, perhaps more reluctant readers as well. Having read the original un-illustrated version, re-reading this again with the illustrations gives a whole new feeling to the story. Whether your a long-term fan, or new one, this is a great must-buy, definitely worth every penny in comparison to the non-illustrated version.

I received the book via prime – under 24h and what a treat! It is much larger than I had anticipated. The illustrations (by Jim Kay) are just incredible. This book is absolutely stunning. I’m going to buy the entire collection. There are also some describing pages of the HP creatures than you do not get with any other book. I’m enchanted. 5 stars!

Great book with beautiful drawings. A bit big and heavy but can’t have one without the other. I bought all the books available and will buy the rest when published.
