About this title

Review:

With six two-page spreads featuring the key scenes from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, this Harry Potter pop-up book allows younger children to begin to experience the thrilling saga of Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts. Every page literally pops out with creative 3-D engineering in full color, while pull-tabs allow readers to bring a Quidditch game to life or help Harry see his heart's desire in the Mirror of Erised. The cartoonish art is muddy and unspectacular, but fans and collectors blinded by their enthusiasm for the boy wizard may not care a bit. (Ages 4 and older)

About the Author:

The Harry Potter series has made publishing history and Rowling has achieved more than she ever expected - all because "the idea to create a child who escapes from the confines of the adult world and goes somewhere where he has power, both literally and metaphorically, really appealed to me." As it has to millions of Muggles of all ages. Rowling has received the Hugo Award, the Bram Stoker Award, the Whitbread Award, a special commendation for the Anne Spencer Lindbergh Prize, the Author of the Year title from the British Book Awards, the Whitaker's Platinum Award, and a Book People Outstanding Achievement Award at the 2008 Galaxy British Book Awards and she was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. Born in Chipping Sodbury, England, Rowling now resides in Edinburgh, Scotland, with her husband and children. For more information about J. K.
