作家协会English PEN网站挂出的介绍页面中罗琳写道：
--------------
...I wrote the book... in snatched hours, in clattering cafés or in the dead of night. For me, the story of how I wrote Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is written invisibly on every page, legible only to me. Sixteen years after it was published, the memories are as vivid as ever as I turn these pages.
「……我偷空在叮当作响的咖啡馆里，在夜深人静之时……写下了这本书。对我来说，我写《哈利·波特与魔法石》的故事深藏在每一页的字里行间，只有我才读得明白。它出版十六年之后，我一页页翻阅它的时候，那些回忆清晰如初。」
--------------
据悉这本珍贵的《魔法石》里，有43页上附有罗琳的评注。大约共有22张手绘和1100字的内容。
早先公布的两张图片远不如这次《卫报》登载的清晰，只能看到一副罗琳手绘的斯内普，2008年美版十周年纪念版的《魔法石》中已经公开过了。见图：
