Running Gargoyles 2022 is the silver anniversary of J.K. Rowling's magical classic, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone! Wizard Harry Potter has enchanted young readers and their families since 1997. And now the first book in this unmissable series is celebrating its 25th anniversary! The paperback edition of the story that introduced Harry, Ron, and Hermione has been updated and given a silver finish to mark the occasion. It's time for the magical journey of a lifetime. Harry Potter had never even heard of Hogwarts when letters started dropping on the doormat at 4 Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellow parchment with a purple seal, they were quickly confiscated by his terrified aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a giant of a man with eagle eyes named Rubeus Hagrid bursts into the house with astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has been admitted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin! These editions of the classic, internationally bestselling Harry Potter series feature exciting cover illustrations by award-winning illustrator Jonny Doodle. They're the perfect starting point for anyone ready to immerse themselves in the greatest children's story of all time. Available for one year only, Harry's first adventure—Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone—has been redesigned in silver and updated with additional content, including a new Hogwarts crest illustration and a Q&A session with Jonny Doodle, plus fun facts exploring the origins of names like Albus Dumbledore, Hedwig, and other favorite characters.
