For the first time, J.K. Rowling's beloved Harry Potter
books will 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 perfect gift as much for a 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.
