Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone: MinaLima Edition by J. K. Rowling

Quite simply, the most stunning version of the bestselling Harry Potter novel released to date. The artwork, embossing and gilding on the cover alone sets this edition apart from any previous versions, and I beleive the price point makes this a bargain. Minalima have stated they have the rights to all the books in the series. It would be great to collect them all.

My children and I loved reading the Harry Potter series and fell in love with them early on. My youngest child however never got into the books, even though she is an avid reader. I bought this book in hopes that the illustrations would make it more appealing to her. I was right, she is reading it and loves the drawings. She also said she likes it better because the words are larger and the pages are not crowded. I originally saw this book at a bookstore for more than double the price, so I was hesitant to buy it from a third party vendor, even though it was through Walmart. I am pleased to say the book is large and sturdy, the binding is strong and it is of exceptional quality. The illustrations are fantastic, the artist did an incredible job at capturing the story ... MoreMy children and I loved reading the Harry Potter series and fell in love with them early on.

The illustrations are fantastic, the artist did an incredible job at capturing the story and not being influenced by the movie. I can't wait for her to finish it so I can get my hands on it.

If this seller still has any of these left and you're thinking about purchasing- go for it! I got this as a Christmas gift for my wife (a huge HP fan) and I can't say enough good things about it. Like the other reviewer on here, I was skeptical about the price (these are currently going for $40-60 on Amazon and other sites, so at less than half of that, it's a steal), but was pleasantly surprised when this arrived at my door in less than a week in excellent condition. I was thrilled to find the original British-titled version as well (some of the language is different, but is originally as Rowling penned and intended it) and the illustrations and design are simply gorgeous. The hardcover is quality bound with a nice, sturdy book jacket. This is a must have for ... MoreIf this seller still has any of these left and you're thinking about purchasing- go for it!

I anticipate the look on my wife's face when she opens this, and I also think this will be a great way to introduce Harry Potter to our oldest child at story time.
