Harry Potter spent ten long years living with Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, an aunt and uncle whose outrageous favoritism of their perfectly awful son Dudley leads to some of the most inspired dark comedy since Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But fortunately for Harry, he's about to be granted a scholarship to a unique boarding school called THE HOGWORTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY, where he will become a school hero at the game of Quidditch (a kind of aerial soccer played high above the ground on broomsticks), he will make some wonderful friends, and, unfortunately, a few terrible enemies. For although he seems to be getting your run-of-the-mill boarding school experience (well, ok, even that's pretty darn out of the ordinary), Harry Potter has a destiny that he was born to fulfill. A destiny that others would kill to keep him from.

NY: Scholastic, 1998. Book Club Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 1998 Scholastic 1st (and possibly Book Club) Edition, 1st printing with a full number line. It is in F/F condition. Compared to the first printings, this is distinctly different in the following ways: 1. It has purple/black boards, not embossed boards 2. "JK Rowling" (not just Rowling) is at the top of the spine. 3. Similar to true 1st editions of the book, there is no number "1" inside a herald-like border on the spine of either the HB or the DJ. 4. On the copyright page is the full number line. 5. Unlike most book club editions, the DJ is priced at $17.95. The original price of the true first edition is $16.95 6. The DJ is flat-printed, not embossed as in the first pressings. Nonetheless, it appears to be a rare, early, unread edition and, therefore, a great value.
