The new editions mark the US anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (released as ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ in the UK), and while they are designed for the US audience, they’ll be available here in the UK too.
The new editions will be released at the end of June, but are available for pre-order now on the links below.
