I'm getting my best friend's 6 month old daughter a copy of the illustrated Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Which is wildly inappropriately for her age, but I figure if I give her one HP book every year for Christmas she will have the complete set by the time she's old enough for her mom to read them to her. Seems logical.

Edit: Thanks, everyone! I kind of thought it was a silly/dorky idea but I'm glad to hear that a lot of people would appreciate it. Makes me feel less anxious than I normally do about gift-giving. Also, if you haven't seen the illustrated HP books OMG you need to, they are beautiful!

You really are a sad sad man. I still can't find anywhere where JK makes the rediculous claim that she invented everything. She may have stated it's an original story or that things like wizards, magic, etc are playing by different rules than they traditionally do but until you can find me a source of her claiming credit for something that predates her by 1000 years I'm calling bullshit.

So, your problems are with the cover art? Him wearing a Griffindor scarf as a spoiler is among the most rediculous things I've ever heard. Griffindor doesn't even get introduced until a handful of pages before. Also, just to prove you wrong I took out my own copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and you're going to hate it.

First of all I've scoured the internet trying to find a cover with both King's cross and Harry with a Griffindor scarf and I can't find it. In fact, this is the only cover I can find depicting the Hogwarts Express and it doesn't show Harry so you're full of shit there.

My album of my own copy of Sorcerer's Stone is here. This is the original cover artwork and it does not actually show Harry wearing a Griffindor scarf (I remembered it as a Griffindor scarf as well but it's just red). The only cover I've found him wearing a distinctly Griffindor scarf is the movie poster. If you want spoilers though then this cover has them all! There are unicorns, snitches, flying brooms, castles, a boy (spoiler since Harry himself doesn't appear until page 15 of the book), and a three headed dog. Also, it's a continuity error since Hogwarts wasn't built on top of Fluffy, in fact Fluffy was on the third floor! How dare she! Also, page one doesn't mention a date at all. Page 2 does mention a Tuesday but the precise date of the attack wasn't determined until much later in the series so either it's a continuity error (every fucking piece of media has those, that's not a problem) or perhaps, and hear me out on this, it takes place in a fictional universe WHERE THERE ARE FUCKING WIZARDS!

I sincerely hope I never met you in real life. I have no doubt I am better off not.

Not your typical response, but I'm super excited to for the illustrated versions of Harry Potter! My husband and I are huge Potter fans, and these books are gorgeous.

u/FoxJitter · 5 pointsr/booksuggestions

I'll recommend the Harry Potter series (the new illustratred editions are beautiful) and Chronicles of Narnia. I read each of those series when I was younger and then sold off the books thinking I'd never read them again, only to re-buy them years later to read with my kids. Also something fun like the Discworld series, Hitchiker series or the Complete Calvin & Hobbes.

Well, if she loves Harry Potter there are some great special editions out there.

The 20th anniversary edition is pretty sweet, you can get it in the colors of your favorite house.

I've got this illustrated edition. It's fully illustrated, and just beautiful.

I agree with other comment- it depends on what she already has (also what she likes). But I recently was given the illustrated version of book 1 that came out last year and I love it more than anything! 1 and 2 are already out (with the 3rd being released in October) which means 6 more gift ideas for the future. ;)
It might seem silly to buy her books since she probably already owns them- but I find the illustrated ones so special! I love them so much and am happy to have them along with my original copies.

They also have straight up fully-illustrated harry potter books. I can't comment on the quality but it is something that I'll probably pick up whenever I have kids and they reach age ~10.

u/hero-hadley · 2 pointsr/harrypotter

They're making illustrated editions right now. My daughter is 3, and when she's 7 I'm gonna start reading the illustrated versions to her. I'm so excited!!!

u/pyroglass · 2 pointsr/Wishlist

got this one for the kiddo. hopefully they do this for all of them

u/phire8 · 2 pointsr/harrypotter

Have you thought about the illustrated books? The third one was just released this past October. The illustrated versions are great for any fan, plus they’re great once your friends child is old enough because they can read to their child and show them the pictures as they follow along.

It's beautiful, when Hagrid & Harry sets off to London to buy supplies for his upcoming semester at Hogwarts!

It's from Jim Kay's Adaptation found in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: The Illustrated Edition (Harry Potter, Book 1)"

u/SoriAryl · 1 pointr/weddingplanning

Maybe get her a nice set of books for a gift?

Like if she likes Harry Potter, find a good version of it (leatherback, graphic novel, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0545790352/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_a8Clzb5BMGKNN)

u/Esmerelda-Weatherwax · 1 pointr/suggestmeabook

I think there are illustrated versions of Harry Potter

https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Sorcerers-Stone-Illustrated/dp/0545790352

I would go to the store and look at this first rather than just buying on amazon though - just to make sure there are enough illustrations to keep him occupied. reading in silly voices may hold his attention through the bits with no pictures.
