Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - Hufflepuff Edition
Reviews (190)
One negative I just can't overlook.
I am very conflicted writing only a 3 star review on this product. I want to give it 5 stars, I really do. My family and myself are HP fans, we have a bit of memorabilia and quite a few copies of the books. My son is a self-proclaimed Hufflepuff so when I saw this book I knew he had to have it! Sure it is a bit pricey for a re-release but that is the nature of this beast. When it arrived I was pretty happy with the cover and dust jacket, they look GREAT! As another reviewer stated, the house extras are a little cheesy but its all in fun. My biggest problem is the paper quality. It is VERY thin. My son doesn't really want to actually use this book to read because he's worried about tearing the pages or crinkling them and I don't blame him. A book that costs this much should definitely be of higher quality, they dropped the ball on this part of it. Before you burn me at the stake, think of this. You can get the illustrated edition of these books for only a few dollars more. Look at the quality of the pages in those books! I really wanted to collect the full set of house books but I can't spend $18+ on this kind of sub-par quality. I feel like they are banking too much on the fact that people will just eat it up because its Harry Potter and will be willing to overlook the rest.
The dust jacket is beautiful. Well packed
Special house content in each book based in which 20th anniversary book you buy. The dust jacket is beautiful. Well packed. Love it!!!
Hufflepuff 20th Anniversary HP Book 1
The 20th anniversary edition is so, so beautiful. It was well worth getting a second copy of the first book. It includes special content for the house, which made it so much more beautiful. I am more than happy with the purchase & would encourage any other HP nerd to invest in a copy!
Buy this book with multiple books so it comes in a box!
I love this book, but it came slightly damaged, and I honestly get that because it came from far away, but I’m still disappointed. So, I’m just suggest that you buy this book with other books from the same location so that they come together in a box, which should protect the book better. Mine came in those plastic bags because I bought it by itself. So, if you want to buy this and you don’t want it slightly damaged, but it with other books from the same company.
Came scuffed up, but love this book
I'm super excited about this and so happy it's finally here! It's beautiful and goes great with my collection of Harry Potter merchandise. My only complaint is that the book cover is scuffed, and it won't come off. :( I think it came like this, because it wasn't 100% properly packaged, and it probably got tossed around a bit in the mail. This is a bit disappointing, since it's a brand new item, so it should arrive looking brand new, but it's not the worst thing to happen. I still like the book & am excited to represent my house.
A GOOD Bat Bogey Hex for you, J.K. \O/
Great book, equally great writing. However, J.K. Rowling ought to cease and desist from speaking about matters that she has absolutely no right to speak about. It is time she stop bashing the Transgender community, and leave well enough alone. J.K. has become a self-entitled, privileged, and egocentric “Karen”, in a world of impressionable minds that once admired her. Enough is enough.
You already know the story is great but this design...
Gorgeousssssss! There's bonus content in the back for the house (mostly stuff from pottermore but I'm not complaining). I would love to get the other editions too, but first had to go with my own house, haha.
1st time reading HP UK style.
I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, and I have read the series many times, but this my first time reading the UK edition, which I read for comparison. The main differences between the US and UK variants are mainly the title; there are some differences in word choice and grammar, which I enjoyed. I found a few UK-isms used in this book offered some additional clarity to phrases used throughout the series compared to the US edition. This book has been a magical part of my life since the books first came out when I was ten years old. I recommend giving this book a read if you haven't already. If you are a teacher, I recommend this book for teaching as there are many SEL and literacy competencies in this book, and it also has subsequent books students may enjoy reading after your instruction
Perfect for Any Hufflepuff!!!
I love it. It has a very authentic feel to it and it actually says, Philosopher's Stone, which I was very happy about. Cedric, Tonks and Newt are mentioned in the back as well, which made me very happy because they're some of my favorite characters. 100% worth it. Arrived fast as well.
Must have for HP fan
I love this edition! Hufflepuff house pride! The beginning has background about the house you choose and the cover and sides are themed with your house colors. Such a fun edition to my collection of Harry Potter books. A must have for the hardcore fan.
