| | |  Scholastic celebrate ten years of Harry Potter (UPDATED)
In an update to their website Scholastic, the U.S. publishers of Harry Potter, have uploaded a video wherein fans re-call how many times they've read the books and when they got into the series.
Additionally, reports have surfaced that some fans have already received their copies of the tenth anniversary edition of Sorcerer's Stone, which was due to be released on September 23rd (which is also when the publisher will hold a readathon in New York to celebrate). According to further reports, the bonus material featured includes a drawing of Snape done by J.K. Rowling in the early 90's. Others are reporting that Amazon have informed them of their books being shipped. The cover art for the book can be seen here.
Source: The Leaky Cauldron UPDATE: Thanks to TLC we now also know that the book also contains an illustration of Hagrid accompanying the first years to Hogwarts in the boats, a picture of which can be seen below;  | |

Lovely video ^^

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

^ The 10th anniversary was 2007 in the U.K. and no, Bloomsbury didn't release a new version of the first book.

At my daughter's school, you can buy the new cover art version at the ongoing Scholastic Book Fair.

I should have remembered that.Mind you it is late now and I'm tired. 
It's a shame they didn't because,like I said,I would have got one,as I'm sure many HP fans would. | |

Awsome, ten years.. wow.. I've read the books for eight years, and if I hadn't, god knows what would have happened to me.
And that girl in the video saying she's read the books six times each or so..
haha LOL I'v read each book at least ten times (not joking) except the last one, cause that one has still only been read about seven times. But I'm rereading it.. And with my memory (i know my homework after I've read through it once) I know everything worth knowing about HP. Mostly I even know both in English and Swedish, but I'm but sure about the spellings of everything in English, only Swedish. Hehe
Great video anyway... Love HP forever <3
(I'll be back here for the 20th year of celebration, in... 2017.. hehe see you then)

Cool.
I've read the 1st- twice 2nd- once third- once fourth - twice fifth -nine times Sixth - nine times Seventh - Once and I've got half-way through twice, early three times. XD
I've been a fan since I was seven years old so that's eight years now but I'm pretty sure it's nearly nine.
God it's gone so fast! Quote:
