This is a regret post as we just bought this for $40 shipped last week and consider it a bargain :(

The book itself is very beautiful, with magazine quality papers and illustration in alternate pages. Perfect for collection, gift or to re-read again the whole saga (the second book will be released October this year)

<MOD: Booko has previously requested us not to publicise their code on OzBargain>

Brimming with rich detail and humour that perfectly complements J.K. Rowling's timeless classic, Jim Kay's glorious illustrations will captivate fans and new readers alike.

    I see the next book is pre order $40, are they doing the whole range?

    • mmd on 18/05/2016 - 23:48

      I would assume so, hence I'm going to wait until the whole range is released.
      Otherwise its going to cost you at least $84 ($12x7 books)

      • PVA on 19/05/2016 - 07:18

        Let's hope it sells and they don't stop on the third book for eg.

    • UndeclaredFreak on 19/05/2016 - 02:57

      Yes they are, but only releasing one per year,

    Thanks OP. Good on you for posting something which makes you feel regret :)
    Booktopia cancelled my last order due to low stock (and it asked me to contact them to organise a refund :/)
    Hopefully this one will be okay.

      Only one has been released. There will be one book released per year, so a long time before they are all out.

        During the payment section of the checkout, under order summary this is a section labelled Gift Certificate, Store Credit and Promotional Code where the code can be added.

    Seems way too cheap, will probably not be honored. Especially if people order lots to resell (as they always do, sigh). But I ordered one as a gift. Fingers crossed.

    • get-innocuous on 18/05/2016 - 21:31

      Nope. It's a pretty big book actually, with all the illustrations. If they keep doing them, books 4-7 are going to be massive.

  • s3n on 18/05/2016 - 22:38

    Awesome

    I didn't buy this book (because I thought what's the point of a picture book harry potter when you can imagine it yourself) but I bought a whole lot of cheap childrens books for my toddler and took advantage of free shipping so I'm very happy with the price!

    Thanks for posting

    • lyl-Lychee on 19/05/2016 - 01:23

    I didn't enjoy the HP movies. But I love artbooks.

    Pretty sure this version will be my favorite interpretation of all time. The character illustrations look EXACTLY like how I imagined them the first time I read Philosopher's stone ~15years ago!

    I am so excited! Mine has been sent. Thanks so much OP, I wouldn't have known to look if you didn't post this. I ordered from Angus & Robertson (apparently they've been bought by Booktopia) Ebay instead($15 instead of $12), as mentioned above. They only had a few copies available and I thought I would be more likely to receive it. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Booktopia seemed fine with cancelling my order.

    • Make it so on 19/05/2016 - 13:38

        Awesome. I don't think I ordered long after you and I cancelled before it was expired so hopefully mine will go to a good home that may not otherwise have received them. No regrets about a paying a few extra $$s.

    Just got a update on my order:

    Hi there,

    Congratulations on purchasing a copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Illustrated Edition: Book 1. Mysteriously it seems He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has cast a dark spell on our system and this special price was offered by mistake. As a result the demand for this title has been extraordinary and has exhausted our stock-on-hand many times over. There were simply more orders than we or our local supplier had stock for.

    Worry not: We are honouring this incorrect price but there will be a delay in fulfilling your order.

    We reached out to the publishers to get more stock and the good news is they can get us stock however we expect that this will take approximately 4 weeks.

    Please accept our apology for this unexpected turn of events and for any inconvenience caused.

    What happens next?
    If you are happy to continue to wait for stock to be available then you don't need to do anything; we'll ship your book as soon as stock arrives. We will provide a further update if this situation changes.

    If you cannot wait then please contact our Customer Service Team and we will cancel the order and refund your purchase.

    If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us. Call 1300 187 187 (Australia) or 0800 186 188 (New Zealand); we're available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm Sydney time (and 9am to 5pm NZ time).

    Kind regards,

    • theguyrules on 24/05/2016 - 14:46

      Yep same here - 4 weeks wait. Oh well. At least theyre honoring the 'pricing error'.
