About the author

J.K. Rowling is best-known as the author of the seven Harry Potter books, which were published between 1997 and 2007. The enduringly popular adventures of Harry, Ron and Hermione have gone on to sell over 500 million copies, be translated into over 80 languages and made into eight blockbuster films.
Alongside the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling also wrote three short companion volumes for charity: Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in aid of Comic Relief, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, in aid of Lumos. The companion books and original series are all available as audiobooks.
In 2016, J.K. Rowling collaborated with playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany to continue Harry’s story in a stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which opened in London, followed by the USA and Australia.
In the same year, she made her debut as a screenwriter with the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Inspired by the original companion volume, it was the first in a series of new adventures featuring wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander. The second, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, was released in 2018 and the third, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is to be released in April 2022.
Both the screenplays, as well as the script of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, are also available as books.
Fans of Fantastic Beasts and Harry Potter can find out more at www.wizardingworld.com.
J.K. Rowling also writes novels for adults. The Casual Vacancy was published in 2012 and adapted for television in 2015. Under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, she is the author of the highly acclaimed ‘Strike’ crime series, featuring private detective Cormoran Strike and his partner Robin Ellacott. The first of these, The Cuckoo’s Calling, was published to critical acclaim in 2013, at first without its author’s true identity being known. The Silkworm followed in 2014, Career of Evil in 2015 and Lethal White in 2018. All four books have been adapted for television by the BBC and HBO. The fifth book, Troubled Blood, is now out and was also an instant bestseller.
J.K. Rowling’s 2008 Harvard Commencement speech was published in 2015 as an illustrated book, Very Good Lives: The Fringe Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination, sold in aid of Lumos and university-wide financial aid at Harvard.
In 2020, J.K. Rowling released in free online instalments, The Ickabog, an original fairy tale, which she wrote over ten years ago as a bedtime story for her younger children. She decided to share the personal family favourite to help entertain children, parents and carers confined at home during the Covid-19 lockdown.
The story is now published as a book (hardback, ebook and audio) in the English language, and is translated into 26 languages, each edition with its own unique illustrations by children. J.K. Rowling is donating her royalties from The Ickabog to her charitable trust, The Volant Charitable Trust, to assist vulnerable groups who have been particularly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic in the UK and internationally.
J.K. Rowling’s latest children’s novel, The Christmas Pig, is out now. Illustrated by Jim Field, it’s the story of a little boy called Jack, and his beloved toy, Dur Pig, and the toy that replaces Dur Pig when he’s lost on Christmas Eve – the Christmas Pig. Together, Jack and the Christmas Pig embark on a magical journey to seek something lost, and to save the best friend Jack has ever known.
As well as receiving an OBE and Companion of Honour for services to children’s literature, J.K. Rowling has received many other awards and honours, including France’s Legion d’Honneur, Spain’s Prince of Asturias Award and Denmark’s Hans Christian Andersen Award.

The first story is slower than the others but it's the first book in a long series, we kind of expect that, don't we? Harry and the gang are truly a lovable clang - I love Ron the most and it's not just because we share a birthday. I also find myself loving the dynamics of the character that is Draco Malfoy. He will be a character I know I will grow to love beyond words. I am interested to see who I become more connected too... despite any birthday connections or house connections (considering I am a Slytherin)
All in all, a joyous book. One I cannot wait to share with the kids in my life and for generations to come
Sometimes you just need to read a good old comforting classic to get you back in a reading mood. I find that having been so long since I read these last there was things I forgot and sort of rediscovered which I think a good book does to you as you reread through life.
But, before I go to far, there are a couple of important differences between this deluxe slipcase edition, and the cheaper, non-slipcase edition. First of all the deluxe version is physically larger than the regular illustrated version. Slipcase aside, the book itself is about 2 inches taller and about 2 inches wider. Overall, the deluxe version is about 13 inches tall and approximately 11 inches wide, which may make it a tougher fit on some people's book shelves. Also, the deluxe version is printed in Italy, whereas the regular illustrated version is printed in China. Although I didn't do too many side-by-side comparisons of each book, it does seem like the illustrations in the deluxe version are much brighter than the cheaper version printed in China -go figure.
I should also point out that I purchased my deluxe version through BWBCanada and the book did not arrive in shrink-wrap. So, if any of you are buying this for collecting purposes keep that in mind. However, the price was WAY better than Amazon's price, the book arrived on time, and there were no additional fees, import fees, or duty. I only paid what was charged during the Amazon check-out procedure, and when I picked this parcel up at the post office, I did not have to pay anything extra.
Lastly, I'll say it again, this book is for die-hard Harry Potter fans only. The deluxe slipcase edition is very expensive and really doesn't offer that much above the regular illustrated version.
Update:
I would also like to add that the customer service at BWBCanada is fantastic. I had quite a few questions that needed to be answered before I felt comfortable ordering this book from this company and every time I sent an e-mail to BWBCanada, the customer service representative answered all my questions in each e-mail. This was my first time ordering a book from overseas (UK) and I had a lot of questions about duty, import fees etc. and they did a fantastic job of reassuring me before I placed my order. I would definitely feel comfortable ordering from them again.
I think the thing that is so great about this series is that even though it is a VERY easy read, there is such an amazing description of this other world that you can actually get lost in it. It is so unlike our ordinary lives but the characters are so easily relatable that you can actually believe this world could be real.
This book I think saved my life. I read it at a time when I was so depressed and had almost given up completely. I picked up The Sorcerer's Stone on sale to see what the hype was about. I couldn't put it down. There were five books out at the time and so bought the other four right away. And now every time I start to feel a little down I read Harry Potter and it picks me right up and takes me away from my own problems. I have since recruited 3 Potter fans. It's a shame the series ended and I hope J.K. is working on something else that is equally amazing.

The artwork on the cover is so much better than the original book which is red. There are illustrations around the chapter headings too which adds a special something. The paper in this book is a lot firmer and of better quality. It's bigger in length than my original one by about 100 pages but that's probably just a printing difference. There isn't anything additional. I think there was a map in the front of mine but I 'm unsure.
Fab read of course.

My Granddaughter is 8yrs old but her 12 year old cousin has read all bar books 6 &7 and she thinks she can too. I'm sure if she finds them hard to understand then she will stop reading them. I'm happy she's reading, she's happy to read H.P. & the Philosophers Stone. All is well!

I just love this book right from the start and even though it isn't as exciting and edge of your seat as the other books are, yet there is that excitement you feel along with Harry in Chapter 4 when Hagrid turns up in the shack during the storm to give him the good news and I don't think any Harry Potter fan could ever fail to feel the excitement along with Harry as he and Hagrid go to Diagon Alley and he buys his books and other material he'll need for his time at Hogwarts. I love it when his vault at Gringots is opened and he sees all the money his parents have left him. I love the background we get to the Dursleys in the first chapter and the description of the day which eventually leads to his arrival at Privet Drive. As we read this book, we need to be aware how little Harry knows and we get an idea of how he's feeling as he awaits his sorting on his arrival at the school. As the Dursleys fight a losing battle when the letters start coming (and increasing with each delivery, ending with about a hundred at the hotel, you just know that, even though they're eventually in a place where Uncle Vernon's certain they won't be disturbed, that by hook or by crook Dumbledore will eventually get him to Hogwarts. As he tells Mrs Cole in Book 6, they'll be taking Tom Riddle away whatever. So Harry begins this roller coaster adventure throughout the seven books and he will not only need his friends but all the magical training he can get, especially in Defence against the dark arts which will be important as he must face the wizard who has not only attempted to kill him but has eluded capture by the Ministry of Magic.

Finally I got around to read it and found it was far better than I imagined. Completely different to the impression I had in my head about it.
I am so late to the party there is little I can say about it, but if you are like me and still at the thinking about it stage then buy this book and you wont be disappointed.
