Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

Latin translation of the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in which Harry Potter, a normal eleven-year-old boy, discovers that he is a wizard. Long ago, Harry's parents were killed in a battle with the evil Lord Voldemort. When we first meet Harry, he is living miserably with his repulsive and non-magical (or Muggle) Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon Dursley, and their even more revolting son, Dudley. Following a bizarre but hilarious chain of events, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, with an outrageous cast of characters, including super-smart Hermione Granger, vile Draco Malfoy, sinister Professor Snape, and the wise Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Adventures galore ensue.


About the Author

J. K. Rowling was born in Chipping Sodbury in the UK in 1965. Such a funny-sounding name for a birthplace may have contributed to her talent for collecting odd names. Jo always loved writing more than anything and in 1996, one year after she finished it, Bloomsbury bought her first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Fun!, Nov 17 2005
By Graham Purse (Regina, Canada) - See all my reviews
This book has been extremely helpful as an extension of the latin class that I am taking at university. Although only half-way through, I am enjoying this many times more than the english format, as it presents a host of challenges for a novice. I hope that the rest of the series is released in this format.

I can assure you this is way easier than the Ovid I have tried. ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, Jun 13 2004
By A Customer
After struggling with Cicero, I was exited to learn Harry Potter was being translated into Latin. It is wonderful reading something in Latin that I've already read (several times) in English. I actually feel much more confident in my Latin reading ability and might even try Cicero again soon. I truly hope they translate the rest of the Harry Potter series into Latin. I would buy them!

5.0 out of 5 stars More please, April 21 2004
By W. Jamison "William S. Jamison" (Eagle River, Ak United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Yes there should be more of these available. Does the market warrant it? A problem with reading translations of any sort as part of learning a language is finding something relevant to read. Since most things available are not contemporary or fun, having something a student has most likely already read in their native language available in the target language can do several wonderful things for the student. It can be pleasurable reading in the target language something the student already "knows" since that will save dictionary look-up time and there will be a pleasure of discovery in figuring out the previously unknown word for oneself.

My regards to the effort involved in this project. It also makes the use of certain magical spells in Latin or something much like it an interesting and thought provoking exercise.

As nice as it is to see someone from Huntington, the latter reviewer is correct. Latin doesn't need to end sentences with verbs. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Regarding the Non-Caps
Despite what the person from Huntington said, Latin sentences do not always end with a verb. Nevertheless, it is true that they didn't use capitalization. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars about the non-caps
Latin doesn't make use of capitals to begin a sentence. A sentence is terminated with a verb and whatever follows that is the beginning of the next sentence. Read more
