Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy. He lives with his Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and cousin Dudley, who are mean to him and make him sleep in a cupboard under the stairs. (Dudley, however, has two bedrooms, one to sleep in and one for all his toys and games.) Then Harry starts receiving mysterious letters and his life is changed forever. He is whisked away by a beetle-eyed giant of a man and enrolled at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The reason: Harry Potter is a wizard! The first book in "The Harry Potter Series" makes the perfect introduction to the world of Hogwarts.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
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)

Harry Potter Mom,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: A Deluxe Pop-up Book (Hardcover)
My 3 year old "loves" all things Harry Potter, especially since big brother does. Have been looking foward to something that was more on his level for him to enjoy. The book is very nice. He enjoys the pop up and action tabs. The artwork is nice. I was very disappointed that it has no words at all! A little story would have been nice. He does, however, enjoy the book and is very proud to have is "own" Harry Potter book.

Falls short,
By Greg in Nashville "gregvilleusa" (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: A Deluxe Pop-up Book (Hardcover)
True, the Harry Potter series is one of the best around, for kids and adults with imaginations. However, this pop-up book falls very short of any expectations one might have. There are very few pages to look at, no words at all, just cartoonish scenes.

I loved the book! Very fun for kids and adults as well. Beautiful work from top to bottom with inventive paper engineering and nicely done artwork.
