Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'.
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!
Having become classics of our time, the Harry Potter stories never fail to bring comfort and escapism. With their message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new listeners.

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
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.

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.
