This hardcover gift edition, presented in a beautiful cloth slipcase with gold details and decorative artwork by Jonny Duddle, is the perfect introduction to the world of Harry Potter. The first book of the global phenomenon series that forever changed the world of books. Harry Potter has never heard of Hogwarts when letters begin to drop on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are quickly confiscated by his miserable uncles. Then, on his eleventh birthday, a giant man with beetle-like eyes, Rubeus Hagrid, bursts in with some incredible news: Harry Potter is a wizard and has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!
