Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone – J. I know I won’t do it justice, but I can only do my best! If you’re like me then you’re probably also asking yourself, how do you go about reviewing such an iconic book series? Your guess is as good as mine – I’m just going to muddle through as best I can. Yes, it’s a lot simpler than the later books in the series, but it’s still just as readable. This first book of the series didn’t seem immature or childish even now. Available for one year only, Harry's first adventure – Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone – has been emblazoned in silver and refreshed with extra content including a new Hogwarts crest illustration and Q&A with Jonny Duddle, plus fun facts exploring the origins of names such as Albus Dumbledore, Hedwig and other favourite characters.In today’s blog post I’m sharing my thoughts on Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s’ Stone, the first book of the series I’m just about to finish reading for the second time! I read this series originally as a teenager and I loved them then as much as I do now! It’s a series for just about anybody and if my reread has proven anything, is that it doesn’t matter how old you are when you pick these up. They are the perfect starting point for anyone who's ready to lose themselves in the greatest children's story of all time.
These editions of the classic and internationally bestselling Harry Potter series feature thrilling jacket artwork by award-winning illustrator Jonny Duddle. An incredible adventure is about to begin! Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. It's time to take the magical journey of a lifetime … Now the first book in this unmissable series celebrates 25 years in print! The paperback edition of the tale that introduced us to Harry, Ron and Hermione has been updated and dressed in silver to mark the occasion. The boy wizard Harry Potter has been casting a spell over young readers and their families ever since 1997.
