It has been translated into several languages and has been made into a feature-length film of the same name.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This is a set of the first three US books in the Harry Potter series, all inscribed 'To Michael' by J.K. Rowling on October 20th, 2000, in New York City. Ten Scholastic essay contest winners were invited to have lunch with Rowling, one of which was Michael Salka who these books are inscribed to. This very brief visit to New York was Rowling's only meeting with Harry Potter fans in the United States in 2000. These books were sold by Michael himself to Adam Houston in 2022 who has since sold them to myself. Four photographs from the event are included, two photos show all 10 essay winners including Michael along with J.K. Rowling and another shows Michael's mum reading to him with these exact three books at the foot of the bed. Michael's mum passed away in 2022 which led him to sell the books. An amazing set, with a lovely story and fantastic provenance.  The Sorcerer's Stone is a paperback 21st printing with an inscription that reads 'To Michael, congratulations, J.K. Rowling.'  The Chamber of Secrets is a hardcover 22nd printing with an inscription that reads 'To Michael, a good writer himself! J.K. Rowling.' The Prisoner of Azkaban is a hardcover 7th printing with an inscription that reads 'To Michael, don't let those photographers get you down! J.K. Rowling.'  All books are in very good condition. Internally all three of the books are exceptionally clean, they have lovely crisp white pages with no marks, ownership inscriptions or writing of any kind. The first book, the paperback appears unread, with an incredibly tight and square binding. there is some minor damage to the base of the spine approx 1.5cm closed tear of the front cover and the first page. The second and third books are in very similar condition to each other, they both have a slight spine lean, pushed spine tips and base, some minor marks to the boards and some minor shelf wear but overall in very good condition. The dust jackets are both in near fine condition with no colour fading at all and just a minor touch of shelf wear. All three inscriptions come fully authenticated by Adam Houston 'theharrypotterspecialist' the world's leading expert in authenticating Jo's signature. This set comes with a full authentication package including a letter of authenticity and collector card for each book along with four photographs from the event where the books were signed.

First published by Bloomsbury in England as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 1997, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the first book in the Harry Potter series. It introduces both Harry and readers alike to the secret, magical world of wizards and witches in England. Although often regarded as a children's novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone topped adult reading charts in both the United States and the UK. As Michael Winerip praises in his 1999 New York Times review, "like Harry Potter, [Rowling] had wizardry inside, and has soared beyond her modest Muggle surroundings to achieve something quite special.".

Handsomely bound in finely woven quarter brick red cloth spine stamped brightly in gold. And purple paper-covered boards with a diamond pattern. Clean and tight throughout. In a complete, very crisp later issue dust jacket priced at $19.95 and has the "Year 1" at the top of the spine. Boldly signed by "J.K. Rowling" on the title page in sharpie. According to Rowling, the idea for both the Harry Potter books and its eponymous character came while waiting for a delayed train from Manchester, England to London in 1990. She stated that the idea of "this scrawny, black-haired, bespectacled boy who didn't know he was a wizard became more and more real to me".[2] While developing the ideas for her book, she also decided to make Harry an orphan who attended a boarding school called Hogwarts. She explained in a 1999 interview with The Guardian: "Harry had to be an orphan so that he's a free agent, with no fear of letting down his parents, disappointing them. Hogwarts has to be a boarding school half the important stuff happens at night! Then there's the security. Having a child of my own reinforces my belief that children above all want security, and that's what Hogwarts offers Harry."[3]Her own mother's death on 30 December 1990 inspired Rowling to write Harry as a boy longing for his dead parents, his anguish becoming "much deeper, much more real" than in earlier drafts because she related to it herself.[2] In a 2000 interview with The Guardian, Rowling also established that the character of Wart in T. H. White's novel The Once and Future King is "Harry's spiritual ancestor".[4] Finally, she established Harry's birth date as 31 July, the same as her own. However, she maintained that Harry was not directly based on any real-life person: "he came just out of a part of me".[5]Rowling has also maintained that Harry is a suitable real-life role model for children. "The advantage of a fictional hero or heroine is that you can know them better than you can know a living hero, many of whom you would never meet. if people like Harry and identify with him, I am pleased, because I think he is very likeable." (Wikipedia) Later printing: 22nd edition of the first printing with 22 the lowest number on the line.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Arthur A. Levine / Scholastic Press, New York. 1998. 309 pages. First edition stated, with numberline beginning with 2; which means this is a second printing HOWEVER, the plum here is the DJ, which is the same as the highly collectible, highly desirable first state DJ of the first printing. In addition to the DJ being the same as the first state DJ, the DJ is fine; which is a magnificent feat; as the American print run for the first printing was only 30k copies, and no one knew the author or the story at the time, so these copies were hardly preserved, as the majority of them landed in libraries, and we all know how that goes. So this first state DJ has the requisite Guardian blurb on the rear, the JK initials present at the head of the DJ spine, and properly lacks the year 1 badge at spine head. Raised, gold embossed Harry Potter name on both the spine, and the front. On the back of the dust jacket, there is a single quote on the top, from the Guardian, a paper in London, stating "Harry Potter could assume the near-legendary status of Ronald Dahl's Charlie, of chocolate factory fame." On the bottom left there is a cream/light-yellow bar code box with two bar codes in it, and the smaller bar code states "51695". This highly sought after first state DJ is fine; the only thing keeping the DJ from 'as-new' status is the $16.95 price has been neatly clipped from the top of the DJ flap. The book itself is equally as attractive. Purple diamond-embossed boards quarter-bound in red cloth with the author's initials, JK, present at the head of the spine, while properly lacking the Year 1 badge. Book is tight. Binding and hinges are sound. Panel boards and endpapers are bright and clean. No writing within. A fine/fine copy of the first American edition, second printing in a most desirable, rare, fine, fist state DJ, which has all of the requisite points of the coveted first state, first printing DJ.
