Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone cover

A special large print edition of the first adventure in the spellbinding Harry Potter series, the publishing phenomenon that changed the world of books forever

Harry Potter is an ordinary boy who lives in a cupboard under the stairs at his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon's house, which he thinks is normal for someone like him who's parents have been killed in a 'car crash'. He lives a very unremarkable life. That is until an owl turns up with a letter addressed to Harry and all hell breaks loose.*Join Harry Potter as he sets out on the magical journey of a lifetime in this large print edition of the first book in J.K. Rowling’s multi-award-winning series. Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. 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. An incredible adventure is about to begin! J.K. Rowling’s internationally bestselling Harry Potter books continue to captivate new generations of readers. Harry’s first adventure alongside his friends, Ron and Hermione, will whisk you away to Hogwarts, an enchanted, turreted castle filled with disappearing staircases, pearly-white ghosts and magical paintings that flit from frame to frame. This gorgeous large print edition features a spectacular cover by award-winning artist Jonny Duddle, and is perfect for those who have difficulty reading standard size print. Get ready to lose yourself in the biggest children’s books of all time.
