With six two-page spreads featuring the key scenes from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, this Harry Potter pop-up book allows younger children to begin to experience the thrilling saga of Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts. Every page literally pops out with creative 3-D engineering in full color, while pull-tabs allow readers to bring a Quidditch game to life or help Harry see his heart's desire in the Mirror of Erised. The cartoonish art is muddy and unspectacular, but fans and collectors blinded by their enthusiasm for the boy wizard may not care a bit. (Ages 4 and older)
Product Description
Read by Jim Dale
8 hours 17 minutes, 7 CDs
Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. That's because he's being raised by his miserable muggle aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that he's a wizard, just as his parents were.
But everything changes when Harry is summoned to attend an infamous school for wizards and he begins to discover some clues about his illustrious birthright.
From the surprising way he is greeted by a lovable giant, to the unique curriculum and colorful faculty at his unusual school, Harry finds himself drawn deep inside a mystical world he never knew existed and closer to his own noble destiny.

I ordered this book about 25 days ago and it hasn't been shipped yet! so much for the speedy service they claim. I would not recommend buying from this seller if you ever want to actually receive your book.
 A fine introduction to the world of Harry Potter. August 24, 2010
Christopher Loehlein (De Pere, WI USA)
I'm 23 and just now getting into the wonderful world of reading. I've got quite a bit of catching up to do but the Harry Potter books have been a great place to start for me. I became very engrossed in the imaginative school setting, sense of magic and wonder, and charming and rather believable characters(despite living in a very fantastical world) upon reading the first few chapters.
The entire cast of characters is one area where this series hits the bulls-eye dead on. Every one of them, from the most important all the way to the most minor are full of quirks and personality, not to mention clever names. The brave, virtuous and ever-enduring Harry, the whole lot of the poor yet heart-filled and strong Weasley Family, the incredibly intelligent and responsible Hermione Granger, and the majestic and extremely kind Albus Dumbledore(every time he shows up I feel a sense of warmth and comfort for some reason) are just a few of the great characters Rowling has dreamed up.
For the most part I really liked the story of this one, it's great to see the 3 main characters learning the ways of magic and the way of the school. This is the beginning of their friendship and bond as well. There are quite a few great scenes in the book, some with edge-of-your-desk action, and other that offer charming details of the world and characters. My only qualms with the story of "the Sorcerer's Stone" and "the Chamber of Secrets" is that the big reveals at the end seem a bit forced. They are certainly shocking and interesting reveals, both unmasking someone you wouldn't suspect as the villain of the story. They seemed forced into the end of the book and came off as slightly contrived. It's not bad at all though, and the way Harry has to go through and handle the situations garner a lot of respect for the guy from me.
I have the 3rd book ordered right now and I can't wait to continue giving my thoughts on J.K Rowling's masterpieces. Highly recommended to kids as well as adults, as I have learned plenty of cool words with a British flavor, so there is some brain candy for everyone here.

I can listen to these stories over and over. There is always something fun that I missed the first time around. J.K. Rowling is a wonderful author. Jim Dale is such a fun reader that they have made many long trips very fun.

My husband has been looking for the first book to complete the series. Not so easy to find. Found it right on amazon, ordered it. Received it quickly and in perfect condition.
