About this product

Product Information

Harry Potter is an ordinary boy who lives in a cupboard under the stairs at his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon's house, which he thinks is normal for someone like him who's parents have been killed in a 'car crash'. He is bullied by them and his fat, spoilt cousin Dudley, and lives a very unremarkable life with only the odd hiccup (like his hair growing back overnight!) to cause him much to think about. That is until an owl turns up with a letter addressed to Harry and all hell breaks loose! He is literally rescued by a world where nothing is as it seems and magic lessons are the order of the day. Read and find out how Harry discovers his true heritage at Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, the reason behind his parents mysterious death, who is out to kill him, and how he uncovers the most amazing secret of all time, the fabled Philosopher's Stone! All this and muggles too. Now, what are they?

    perfect

    this arrived on time, and its BRILLIANT for the price. as for me, i’m obsessed with the harry potter books completely. the old ones i absolutely LOVE and these, you can tell they’ve been used but that’s how i love it to keep forever, and it’s such good condition and price. maybe don’t buy for a gift, id say for yourself, but these are the sort of things i keep forever at a very reasonable price. i will be buying the rest of the series from here.

    Harry Potter secondhand book

    Book was fine for what I required it for. It was a missing volume for my Son in law. I would loved to have found a better copy but it wasn't put there. it arrived promptly and well packed. Complete right to its explanation.

  • Engaging

    Can see why so many people got hooked on Harry - there’s a lot going on in this book and the author allows the reader to really get to know the personalities of the characters as the story unfolds.

  • Lovely book but can see they're not new.

    Exactly what it says on the tin. You can tell they're second hand books by the age they look and mine had a note on the second page where a woman had gifted it to her little girl but other than that perfect! Would definitely recommend if buying for yourself or your children maybe not for a gift as they're not new.

  • Good service, great product

    The product was shipped really fast and it arrived at its destination in no time. It was well packed. The only surprise I had was that the book was quite old/used. (Maybe it is written simewhere in the description about the book's condition and I failed to see it) Still, it was in very good condition. I do not regret buying the product from them. As a matter of fact, I actually ordered the second Harry Potter book.

  • Grest contents, but...

    The book itself is amazing, love the story so much! My only problem is that the spine appears to be sun damaged as the colour has faded and is now only grey and blue

  • Reality.

    J K Rowling's Harry Potter book is enthralling with a the story-line clean and precise. It is gripping and has a continual parallel giving the appearance of a paradigm to which one feels is but a step away.

  • Harry potter

    It was a second had book. But in very good condition. I bought it for a French friends daughter. She loves Potter. She is 12 and learning English. She is an avid reader. This book excites her to read and learn English.

  • So fast

    I am very impressed the estimated arrival wasn't until the 4th of August but I got it on the 28th of July I thought I was going to have to wait a while before I could start reading the books and now I can read it from the start 10/10 would recommend
