Rowling Joanne K.: Harry Potter i kamen mudraca (3. izd)

Joanne K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (3rd ed.)

Harry Potter's parents died when he was a one-year-old baby. Harry spent ten long and unhappy summers as an unwanted guest under the Dursleys' roof, under the scolding of the ever-angry Aunt Petunia, under the suspicious gaze of the unpleasant Aunt Vernon and under the vicious blows of Cousin Dudley.
And then, just before his eleventh birthday, the letters started arriving! Mysterious letters addressed to Mr. Harry Potter, dangerous letters that Uncle Vernon did not want to show him, magical letters written in emerald green ink, from which Harry could learn the truth!
And the truth is that Harry's parents did not die in a car accident, and it is true that Harry Potter is not quite an ordinary boy, and it is true that he will not have to start fifth grade at a nearby school in the fall after all.
Harry Potter was directly and in writing invited to Hogwarts, the most famous school of witchcraft and wizardry, because Harry Potter is actually a naturally gifted wizard, as were his parents. Harry Potter is even more than that: in the wizarding world, Harry Potter is a legend, only he has no idea about it yet.

British writer Joanne K. Rowling came up with the first Harry Potter novel while walking with her three-month-old baby on the streets of Edinburgh as an unemployed, single mother on welfare. Her playful story about a boy-wizard with an indestructible spirit and a brave heart conquered the world as if by magic. Harry Potter has been translated into twenty-eight languages, printed in more than twenty million copies; on the screen, they will try against the strongest opponents, and J. K. Rowling has promised at least seven sequels, one for each of Harry's school years. Zlatko Crnković will translate them for Croatian readers at a slightly faster pace, and the original artwork of the American illustrator Mary GrandPre will adorn all Croatian editions.
