Harry Potter Collection

<i>The Harry Potter Box Set (Years I-III)</i> contains hardcover editions of the first three Harry Potter books packed in a beautifully decorated sturdy cardboard slipcase. <p><i>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone</i><br> Orphaned as a baby, Harry Potter has spent 11 awful years living with his mean aunt, uncle, and cousin Dudley. But everything changes for Harry when an owl delivers a mysterious letter inviting him to attend a school for wizards. At this special school, Harry finds friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, as well as a great destiny that's been waiting for him...if Harry can survive the encounter. From an author who has been compared to C. S. Lewis and Roald Dahl, this enchanting, funny debut novel won England's National Book Award and the prestigious Smarties Prize.</p> <p><i>Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets</i><br> In this sequel to <i>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,</i> Harry's back for his second year at Hogwarts, where the infamous Chamber of Secrets has been opened for the first time in 50 years. The monster that is unleashed is literally petrifying Hogwarts students (turning them into stone, that is), and who is the primary suspect? Harry Potter himself. Add to this some enormous spiders, a Deathday Party, a ghost named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, and lots and lots of suspense, and you'll soon find yourself engrossed in another terrific tale in which magic does exist and good eventually triumphs over evil.</p> <p><i>Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban</i><br> Kids of all ages -- even adults! -- have fallen under Harry Potter's spell. And now, following the phenomenal success of <i>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone</i> and <i>Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,</i> the young wizard-in-training has returned for his third year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry -- and more exciting, magical adventures. This time, a dangerous escaped convict is on the loose -- a reputed madman with a mysterious tie to Harry's past. Harry's life is in danger, and his sorcery skills are tested to the limit. Can he catch the criminal and discover the truth?</p>
