I bought this especially to anger a protestor and because i think JK Rowling is great and without her, we would never have discovered the world of Harry Potter and i will be forever greatful for her work!The design and layout of the text, however, differs: so this is not an exact replica of the original 1997 edition.

After the idea for Harry Potter came to her on a delayed train journey in 1990, she plotted out and started writing the series of seven books and the first, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone , was published in the UK in 1997.

She is also the founder and president of Lumos, an international children’s charity fighting for every child’s right to a family by transforming care systems around the world. This irresistible anniversary edition – available for one year only – will bring back treasured memories for the fans who remember the excitement when Harry’s journey first began, as well as introduce a new generation to the unforgettable story of the Boy Who Lived. The hardcover edition was issued with the original cover from 1997, while the paperback edition has silver foiling on the logo of the 2014 cover by John Duddle. Rowling’s fairy tale for younger children, The Ickabog, was serialised for free online for children during the Covid-19 pandemic in the summer of 2020 and is now published as a book illustrated by children, with her royalties going to her charitable trust, Volant, to benefit charities helping alleviate social deprivation and assist vulnerable groups, particularly women and children.

This is indeed the first reprint of the hardcover as a trade paperback was printed in between the first two hardcover printings and bears the "reprinted" (once) statement.

The original text itself is the same – although much like a repairing charm, Bloomsbury editors have long since waved a wand over the pages of that very first print run.
