5 out of 5 stars Show by Mar 30, 2020 Top favorable review YES!This was an actual first edition and it’s hard to tell the difference. Some people believe that because of the words “First American Edition” are printed on the copyright page that it’s a first edition. However a little trick they don’t realize that it can be a “First American Edition” or the 44th reprint or the first edition of the 100th reprint. People have to check the random placed numbers at the bottom. If there is a “1” (not a 01) in the clutter of numbers ie 3 5 7 9 1 2 4 6 8 that means it is a true first edition! I’m just glad I finally got my hands on a true first edition of this book. It’s in good condition. Thank you very much!

Now for this specific item, it didn’t specify it was a Book Club Edition (much cheaper and smaller than the normal book) and that it was used (the bottom corners are torned perhaps of putting it in and out of shelves). The dust jacket and edges of the book are not in “new” condition. Real value is around $5 or less. I attached pictures comparing it to a normal version of the hardcover book. As you can see even the panels are different, the completely red panel means it’s a cheaper made Book Club Edition. Also took very long to arrive, but I’m not basing my review on this because of the current situation going on around the world. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New Harry Potter bookMy family loves the Harry Potter series. I started reading them in the late 1990s when I started buying them for my youngest son. My daughter and her 15 year old son are also addicted. Truly stories for the entire family. This is the first in the series, and a present for that daughter, who found it missing from her collection. We all own them in hardback! Can't recommend the series or J.K. Rowling, the author, highly enough. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New Enchanting ReadThe book that sparked a generation's love for reading. This story is just as enjoyable today in my 30s as it was over 20 years ago when I was 11. Be immersed in this marvellous world of magic. Verified purchase: Yes THE WIZARD REIGNS!!As with all of Rowling's books/movies/ this is fabulous! Always age appropriate depending on the time lines for the stories. We watched Harry and the gang grow from basically young children to intelligent and sophisticated young adults and loved every minute. This particular book was a gift for a students birthday. He is 10 so this book was a hit. I recommend it to all Potter fans. It has come in handy as a discussion topic for my class and we often do book reports on the series. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. That's because he's being raised by his miserable aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that he's really a wizard, just as his parents were. But everything changes when Harry is summoned to attend an infamous school for wizards, and he begins to discover some clues about his illustrious birthright. From the surprising way he is greeted by a lovable giant, to the unique curriculum and colorful faculty at his unusual school, Harry finds himself drawn deep inside a mystical world he never knew existed and closer to his own noble destiny. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Review: Say you've spent the first 10 years of your life sleeping under the stairs of a family who loathes you. Then, in an absurd, magical twist of fate you find yourself surrounded by wizards, a caged snowy owl, a phoenix-feather wand, and jellybeans that come in every flavor, including strawberry, curry, grass, and sardine. Not only that, but you discover that you are a wizard yourself! This is exactly what happens to young Harry Potter in J.K. Rowling's enchanting, funny debut novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. In the nonmagic human world--the world of "Muggles"--Harry is a nobody, treated like dirt by the aunt and uncle who begrudgingly inherited him when his parents were killed by the evil Voldemort. But in the world of wizards, small, skinny Harry is famous as a survivor of the wizard who tried to kill him. He is left only with a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead, curiously refined sensibilities, and a host of mysterious powers to remind him that he's quite, yes, altogether different from his aunt, uncle, and spoiled, piglike cousin Dudley. A mysterious letter, delivered by the friendly giant Hagrid, wrenches Harry from his dreary, Muggle-ridden existence: "We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Of course, Uncle Vernon yells most unpleasantly, "I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL TO TEACH HIM MAGIC TRICKS!" Soon enough, however, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts with his owl Hedwig... and that's where the real adventure--humorous, haunting, and suspenseful--begins. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, first published in England as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, continues to win major awards in England. So far it has won the National Book Award, the Smarties Prize, the Children's Book Award, and is short-listed for the Carnegie Medal, the U.K. version of the Newbery Medal. This magical, gripping, brilliant book--a future classic to be sure--will leave kids clamoring for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. (Ages 8 to 13) --Karin Snelson Book Description: 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 will be presented in lavishly illustrated full-color editions. Rowling herself selected artist Jim Kay, whose over 100 illustrations make this deluxe format as perfect a gift for the child being introduced to the series as for the dedicated fan. 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.
