Prepare to be spellbound by Jim Kays dazzling depiction of the wizarding
world and much loved characters in this full-colour illustrated hardback
edition of the nations favourite childrens book Harry Potter and the
Philosophers Stone. Brimming with rich detail and humour that perfectly
complements J.K. Rowlings timeless classic, Jim Kays 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 hes the last to know. His parents
were wizards, killed by a Dark Lords 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!
