Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s StoneUnbelievably the original installment of the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, has been enjoyed by millions of readers for a full decade. To celebrate its 10th year of publication in the U.S, J.K Rowling has decided to release a very special Harry Potter 10th anniversary Edition of the book! This hardback cover is illustrated by none other than legendary Mary Grandpré whose work has graced us throughout the entire Harry Potter Series. Instead of Harry being whisked through the air on his broom, this cover depicts a much more emotional side as he is looking into the Mirror of Erised, and seeing his parent’s reflection stare back. Alongside of new cover art, Grandpré and Rowling have included an exclusive four-color frontispiece to truly celebrate the momentous occasion. This 10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition can actually be purchased with The Tales of Beedle the Bard for one great low price! The new Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is a perfect gift idea for anyone who truly loves Harry and the entire series.

beedleMany of us have come to read and love the installments of Harry Potter, and his adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

One of her most famous books, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, first came into publication in December of 2007 to much surprise and fanfare.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix     Finally on DVD, comes Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix. It is year number five for our wizarding hero Harry Potter, and that means more magic, mayhem, mystery, and even murder. Harry returns to his beloved school of Hogwarts to continue his magical studies, and quickly realizes the Dark Lord Voldemort had been using political connections to spread lies and deceit throughout the magical world. Dumbledore, while still the headmaster, is using his good nature to watch over the students of his school, while still keeping a watchful eye on the ministry of magic to keep corruption away from high ranking officials. As tensions of between good and bad wizards come to a rise, a sense of a great battle seems both imminent and necessary in order to rid the world of evil….Hogwarts and many other innocent lives all hang in the balance of 3 friends, sworn to uphold justice and win the battle against the dark arts.
