Relive the magic of the boy who would save wizardry from He Who Must Not Be Named with this collection. Whether it’s for yourself or for a kid, this boxed set is the perfect gift for any and all Harry Potter fans. This collectible box set includes hardcover (rather than paperback) copies of books one through seven, which are carefully arranged in order. The books co...me in a special-themed box made of sturdy cardboard and designed to look like Harry’s school trunk. Intricate details like the trim, aging, and faux gold metalwork help to make the trunk look more realistic. The inside of the trunk features a red and maroon diamond pattern designed to look like fabric. It also includes helpful handles and a lock to keep prying eyes away from your precious collection. The trunk-like box bears the name Harry Potter, but it can be customized for the owner. A mailing label on the trunk’s top reads “Deliver To” with space to write the owner’s name below. Any Harry Potter fan will be happy to write his or her name on this collectible set. This boxed set features the American version of the series rather than the British version. There are several helpful details that distinguish the US and the UK versions from each other. The first book in the series is titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in the United States, while the British version is titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. This change was made by Scholastic, the US publisher of Harry Potter. The cover art featured on each novel is also a telling characteristic. The books feature the original cover art created for the U.S. edition, which was designed by artist Mary GrandPré. Written by author J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter has been a favorite of readers since the first book debuted in 1997. The seven books follow the protagonist, Harry Potter, as he courses through Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The colorful characters and imaginative storytelling make each book, from Goblet of Fire to Deathly Hallows, a classic. The ISBN number for this set is 978-0-54-504425-7.
