1st Edition
1st Edition Hungarian translation of Philosopher's Stone, published by Animus Publishing in 1999. The "Harry Potter" cover font resembles most pre-movie publications in that it's not the font that's not associated with the Harry Potter franchise. Honestly, this cover art for so many reasons, which I love, makes me think more of Indiana Jones than Harry Potter. This is a very hard to find edition; they are around, but are increasingly scarce, even in Hungary, as a result, this edition is usually quite pricey in relation to other translations.
Title: Harry Potter és a bölcsek köve
ISBN: 9789638386779 or 9638386770
Translator: Tóth Tamás Boldizsár
Format: Hardcover, no jacket issued
Notes: Hard-to-find; printed before release of 1st Movie
Difficulty to Find Rating; 9, Very Hard
2nd Edition
2nd Edition Hungarian translation, published by Animus Publishing in 2004. As you can see, this lovely edition has pictorial boards that match the jacket. It really is a lovey edition. This particular edition, when searched for ISBN, doesn't show any searches. However, this book looks to have been re-released under a different ISBN (9789633244531), and it is much easier found on hungarian websites; this re-release looks to be hardcover as well.
Title: Harry Potter és a bölcsek köve

Format: Hardcover with matching jacket
Notes: Easier to find than first Philosopher's Stone edition; All 7 books published.
Difficulty to Find Rating: 5, Not Too Common
Special Edition
Special Edition Hungarian translation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I am not sure on the print run of this book; however, not that many enter into the US e-commerce marketplace, and when they do they sell for about $90.
