Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling, Illustrated by Jim Kay

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone

Although it's likely that most people on Goodreads have read the Harry Potter series (or at least one of them), I would still recommend reading the illustrated versions.

I've recently bought the illustrated versions (by Jim Kay) and it's made the book much more interesting to read. Even though I enjoyed the imaginative aspect of the original books, seeing the illustrations made every couple of pages was very fun. It's clear that a lot of work had been put into making the drawings (especially with the formatting; the last page of every chapter had a good amount of words on it, but it's a pretty small detail).

Reading through the illustrated version of the book was much different for me than when I had first read the original books in middle school. You get to see how somebody else had envisioned it, and it's very entertaining.

10/10

I have always seen these types of books in the books store but I never was inclined to buy it because I already owned the regular book... do you think it would be work it to buy the illustrated ones as well?
