A specially designed Kindle in Motion edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone as illustrated by Jim Kay.

Prepare to be spellbound by this dazzling depiction of the wizarding world and its much-loved characters in this exclusive Kindle in Motion edition of one of the world's favourite books - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Brimming with rich detail and humour that perfectly complements J.K. Rowling's timeless classic, Jim Kay's glorious illustrations will captivate fans and new readers alike.

In this Kindle in Motion edition, Jim Kay’s illustrations are available for the first time in a beautifully designed digital reading experience, with the artist’s interpretations of much-loved locations, characters and magical creatures newly animated to come alive on your device. See the smoke from the Hogwarts Express billow around Platform 9 ¾, experience the hustle and bustle of Diagon Alley, and witness the enchanting spectacle of the Sorting Ceremony. All this and other surprises and delights await in this specially-created digital book.

When a letter arrives for unhappy but ordinary Harry Potter, a decade-old secret is revealed to him that apparently he's the last to know. His parents were wizards, killed by a Dark Lord's curse when Harry was just a baby, and which he somehow survived. Leaving his unsympathetic aunt and uncle for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry stumbles upon a sinister mystery when he finds a three-headed dog guarding a room on the third floor. Then he hears of a missing stone with astonishing powers, which could be valuable, dangerous - or both. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 4–7—Whether they're committed Potterheads who grew up reading the world-changing fantasy series or children just old enough to enjoy the stories for the very first time, readers will want to pore over this stunning illustrated edition, which features the full and unabridged text (with the exception of the title, the text is from the original British edition). From the dark and stormy endpapers to the ink-sploshed pages to Kay's expressive pencil and watercolor illustrations adorning almost every page, the story of Harry's humble beginnings with the wretched Dursleys, the arrival of his letter from Hogwarts, and his first adventures as "the boy who lived" come to brilliant life in this beautiful—and beautifully designed—edition. Though the size and heft might make library circulation somewhat challenging, this is a fantastic gift.—Kiera Parrott, School Library Journal --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Review

Praise for the original publication of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"A wonderful first novel. Much like Roald Dahl, J. K. Rowling has a gift for keeping the emotions, fears, and triumphs of her characters on a human scale, even while the supernatural is popping out all over. The book is full of wonderful, sly humor [and] the characters are impressively three-dimensional (occasionally, four-dimensional!) and move along seamlessly through the narrative. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is as funny, moving and impressive as the story behind its writing. Like Harry Potter, [J. K. Rowling] has wizardry inside, and has soared beyond her modest Muggle surroundings to achieve something quite special." -- The New York Times Book Review"A charming, imaginative, magical confection of a novel. . . . A glorious debut, a book of wonderful comic pleasures and dizzying imaginative flights. There is no cause to doubt Rowling's abilities and promise, and every reason to expect great things, truly great things, from her in the future." -- The Boston Sunday Globe"You don't have to be a wizard or a kid to appreciate the spell cast by Harry Potter." -- USA Today"The story delights and the writing gives you goosebumps, the good kind." -- Chicago Tribune*"Readers are in for a delightful romp with this award-winning debut from a British author who dances in the footsteps of P. L. Travers and Roald Dahl. Rowling leaves the door wide open for a sequel; bedazzled readers will surely clamor for one." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

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. --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

About the Author

J. K. Rowling is the author of the beloved, bestselling, record-breaking Harry Potter series. She started writing the series during a delayed Manchester to London King's Cross train journey, and during the next five years, outlined the plots for each book and began writing the first novel. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was published in the United States by Arthur A. Levine Books in 1998, and the series concluded nearly ten years later with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, published in 2007. J. K. Rowling is the recipient of numerous awards and honorary degrees including an OBE for services to children's literature, France's Legion d'Honneur, and the Hans Christian Andersen Literature Award. She supports a wide number of causes through her charitable trust Volant, and is the founder of Lumos, a charity working to transform the lives of disadvantaged children. J. K. Rowling lives in Edinburgh with her husband and three children.

Jim Kay won the Kate Greenaway Medal in 2012 for his illustrations in A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. Jim studied illustration at the University of Westminster and since graduating has worked in the Archives of Tate Britain and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. Jim has produced concept work for television and contributed to a group exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. He now lives and works in Northamptonshire, England, with his partner and a rescued greyhound.

Dark & scary pictures throughout the whole book. Child might have nightmares

Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

I EXPECTED A VERY BEAUTIFUL MAGICAL PICTURES, CHILD APPROPRIATE DRAWINGS. WHEN I RECEIVED THIS BOOK 99% OF THE PICTURES ARE VERY SCARY FOR A 8-11 YRS OLD CHILD. PICTURES ARE DARK, FULL OF PAIN, ANGER. CHILD WILL HAVE NIGHTMARES AFTER SEEING SUCH HORRIFIC DRAWINGS. THE BOOK DESCRIPTION SHOULD SPECIFY AS DARK AND SCARY DRAWINGS INSTEAD OF MOST AMAZING ILLUSTRATIONS..

Unbelievable quality for the price!

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2015

SPECIAL NOTE: For U.S. customers purchasing the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, you will notice the text has NOT been converted to the "Americanized" version of the original U.S. releases (with the exception of changing all "Philosopher's Stone" mentions to "Sorcerer's Stone"). So far, I have noticed the following: (EU/US) dialling / dialing; Shan't! / Won't!; sherbet lemon / lemon drop; motorbike / motorcycle; and dustbin / trashcan. For many purists of the series who never liked the idea of modifying the original text for an American audience, this is a good thing. Good or bad is naturally for each reader to decide--just know, if you plan to read the books while listening to Jim Dale's audiobooks, you'll notice a few superficial differences.

The quality of this new illustrated edition is phenomenal. I've been excited about the release of this book since it was announced, but I never expected the book as a whole to be so well crafted.

A couple of things to note:
1. Underneath the book jacket, the novel is bound in a sturdy red hardback with gold lettering on the spine.
2. The paper is thick with an eggshell glossy finish.
3. All chapter intros are illustrated.
4. Some images take up full pages or multiple pages. Most illustrations share the page with text.
5. Every inch of the book is illustrated or decorated in some fashion. There are NO white pages in the book. Even the pages without large illustrations have the paper printed and marked with ink blots or paper "stains".

I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to read the series (again, or for the first time), especially if you plan to read this with someone younger. If this book is a demonstration of what is to come with the illustrated editions for the rest of the series, we're all in for six more impeccable treats.

So many great moments missing

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

I will start by saying that the illustrations and animations of the book are just magnificent, and give a fresh and even more interesting visual approach to the world of Harry Potter than the movies. I enjoyed each one of them and being an artist myself I understand the amount of time and effort to get this done. Congratulations for that. And that being said... (I am going to put in here a MAJOR SPOILERS warning, just in case someone has lived under a rock all these years) I don’t know if somehow I missed it... or if a couple of my digital version pages were stick together but... No portrait of Hermione? Seriously?? So many important moments missing! The wand choosing Harry, the glasses being fixed by Hermione Granger, the quidditch game, Hedwig meeting Harry for the first time... I was so disappointed for not seeing some of the best moments illustrated, and my only hope is that we can have some nice portraits and better decisions over the moments that deserve to be considered for the next books. I LOVED the portraits of Ron and Harry, and not having Hermione in the first book is a big missing opportunity. Still I enjoyed the book and I’m going to the digital store now to see if the next one is available.

Harry Potter Kindle in Motion! Wonderful read!

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

This review is for the Kindle in Motion version of this book. What a delight it has been so far reading this version. The animated artwork is a wonderful addition and it really helps with the visuals in your head. There is a hardcover version of this exact book with the same artwork available. But for the price of $9.99, I think this Kindle in Motion version is well worth it. The hardcover version certainty would be a nice addition to any collection, but this Kindle version with its animations is really something special. Almost like reading the Daily Profit with its moving pictures. I really hope Kindle in Motion continues with the other books in the series as they are very fun to read. All in all, I highly recommend this specific Kindle version. Really, if you're going to shell out $8.00 anyway for the regular Kindle version, why not just go ahead and get this one. Its so much better for just a few dollars more.

Jim Kay's illustrations, especially combined with Kindle in Motion, are wonderful.

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

I just finished the "Kindle-In-Motion" version of the first Harry Potter book and thoroughly enjoyed it. Jim Kay's illustrations were original and delightful. Even though I've read it before, the illustrations and the Kindle-in-Motion features made it a new, fresh, and very fun experience. I read it on my iPhone and the illustrations and new features worked wonderfully on a small screen. I immediately sought to buy the second Harry Potter book, "Chamber of Secrets," with Kindle-In-Motion and was disappointed to learn it wasn't yet available, so I'm eagerly awaiting it and the rest of the Harry Potter books in this great new format.

Delightful, just delightful. The Kindle-in-Motion illustrations are all you could hope for, starting with the delicious cover. The portraits, both still and moving ones, are extraordinarily beautiful. I was so impressed and delighted. I showed the book to my mother on her I-Pad and she literally clapped her hands and said, "I have seen so many things in my nine decades, but to think I would live see books that move! What a wonder!" Enjoy the story again.

I love Harry potter and these books are amazing for anyone who is a fan as they're great to have in a collection. The book is so heavy and illustrations make it new and interesting. Something I bought thinking it will be great for if I have children to pass on. I hope I can get the whole collection when the illustrator is done with them. Totally worth the money, so pleased with my purchase.

Fabulous for introducing those a bit wee for the novels

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a really lovely edition from the Harry Potter series. My 5 year old was forever asking me questions about Harry Potter but I didn’t want to sit her down in front of the film- it’s a bit scary - and I’d really wanted her to read/ listen to the book. It was so long since I’d read it, I was struggling to answer her questions. It would be impossible to get a 5 year old to sit through a picture-less novel - certainly mine wouldn’t!! I’m so glad I found this illustrated version. The pictures keep her interested and help her imagination. We’re only on Chapter 5 so far, but we’re both excited to keep coming back to it. We do a recap of every chapter after we finish it and when we sit down to the book anew. She’s loving it and I’m really enjoying re-reading it all these years later. Highly recommend.

Great book to add to collection but if you want more for your money buy the hardback book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 15, 2018

When I saw this advertised I got really excited seeing as it's a different cover but it's really just a paperback version of the illustrated edition by Jim Kay but just with less pictures basically. I'm glad I have it as I am collecting every single Harry Potter book I can fine but as far as reading or looking at the paintings I'd say definitely buy the hardback one, it features all his work rather than just a select few.

The only way to read Potter

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 31, 2019

Verified Purchase

This review is written as though you've read the Harry potter books before. If you haven't this is a great way to read them! Anyway....

I'll start with the downside to the paperback copy and that's the fact that there's only 'selected highlights' of Jim Kay's beautiful illustrations (that's why i've rated it four stars). I don't know why they did this, maybe to cut down on cost? The RRP of the hardbacks is £30 whereas the paper back is half the price.

Anyway that's the downside out of the way now for the good stuff. The paperback is definitely a bit more reader friendly, there's less bulk and of course it's more pliable.

Even though there's less illustrations than the hardback they still look stunning, all printed on glossy paper in superb detail.

At the time of writing the paperback edition is a tenner on amazon and will probably drop in the near future. The hardback is obviously the ultimate illustrated edition but the paperback is really good for reading with my little boy so definitely worth it.
