Spanish language version of the first pf the phenomenal Harry Potter series. An English lad embarks upon a life of magic and wizardry in a special school dedicated to that end. A fabulous read, it not only holds one's attention, but at the same time greatly enhanced my grasp of Spanish. It serves to entertain while reinforcing Spanish language skills. I recommend it to children of all ages who have any background in Spanish.

Harry va para su 3er año en Hogwarts, como siempre, con problemas con su parentela muggle (mortales sin magia), huye de la casa y el mismo ministerio de magia se encarga de llevarlo a al colegio. Sirius Black, el presunto complice de Lord Voldemort, ha escapado de la cárcel de Azkaban... Los guardianes de la carcél seres que absorben la fecilidad de las personas, tienen en jaque y mate harry; Hagrid tiene un nuevo monstruo, Hermione tiene su primer gato que entra en conflicto con la sospechosa rata de Ron. Más intrigas y verdades a descubrirse... leanlo... es bueno. Debilidades: Mucha descripción pictórica y detalles inconcluyentes que dejan un final parco.

I'm sorry if my English isn't so good, but I'm 15 and I'm italian...I think Harry Potter books are ideal for who wanna expand vocabulary while learning a foreign language, cos' HP is been translated in a hoard of languages. So, if you are learning the fantastic italian language, it's for you. The language used isn't formal, but the high quantity of new words can be frustrating...ma l'italiano non è poi così difficile...I think this is also the best of the series, so I advise it to everybody!

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Japanese Edition) Review

If you're a native English speaker trying to learn Japanese, the Harry Potter books may be a good learning tool for you. In the first book, almost all of the kanji have furigana -- this book is intended for children, after all. Later on in the series, there are fewer and fewer furigana. So, be sure to start with the first book unless you really know your kanji.
The translation is incredibly true to the original English book, so you can refer to the original any time you have trouble following. Of course, you'll end up learning words like "witch" and "wand" and "spell," which are of little value in daily life, but what the heck. One word of warning, though -- you'll need to equivalent of about two years of college Japanese before it makes sense to try reading this book.
FYI, this is a high quality hard cover book. It weighs quite a bit. The price in Japan is 1,900 yen. Expect to pay more outside of Japan, of course. You might try Amazan.jp, but last I checked it is no cheaper once you figure in delivery.

Tengo que confesar , que me he vuelto una fanatica de este personaje. Se que es un libro recomendado para ninos , pero ....Que les puedo decir???? la nina que hay dentro de mi se mantuvo muy entretenida mientras devoraba una tras otra pagina de este hermoso cuento lleno de fantasia y emocion. Soy una mujer de 27 anos , casada que esta en planes de tener familia muy pronto.Y desde este momento como parte de la herencia les dejare a mis hijos la coleccion de libros de Harry Potter.Comence oviamente con el de la piedra filosofal(pasta dura), me encanto y facino. Dejenme contarles que al siguiente dia de haberlo terminado compre el #3 ( oviamente estoy comiendo ansias por que no lo he leido mientras consiga pronto el #2) , que espero recibir. Lo que mas no me deja dormir, es que recien me entero que ha salido el #4( ese si esta dificil de obtenerlo , y no me quiero quedar atras.
Ya quisiera tener a mis hijos en la cama y poder revivir el dia que conoci a Harry Potter y sus amigos , mientras leo las facinantes aventuras, con las cuales algun dia mis hijos sonaran y pediran que empiece otra vez.

I'm actually a native English speaker and read this to work on my Russian; it's surprisingly effective if you're an advanced Russian speaker looking to improve. This translation is repetitive with vocabulary, allowing someone working on their language to improve it. It's challenging in a good way for a non-native speaker to understand what was going on for most of the book; the exception is the description of Quiddich, which was enitrely too complex for me. I thought that the dialoge sounded natural and well-written, although I gather from reading the Russian press's reviews of Garri Potter i Orden Feniksa that they believed that the first book was the most poorly translated of the five to date.

Preface: I am not a native German speaker and I read the book in English before reading it in German.
While reading a book about flubberworms and magic potions is difficult from the standpoint of new vocabulary, it is so exciting and satisfying when you realize that you are enjoying the story and not just the struggle to understand a foreign language. This is definitely a good way to maintain or add to a good, but not perfect facility with German as a second language.

Buen libro. Definitivamente mejor que la quinta entrega. Aqui se desvela el misterio de Snape. Lo unico reprochable es que la explicacion de por que Dumbledore creia en Severus Snape, es demasiado escueta y de verdad no le encuentras ninguna clase de logica. Se habla poco o casi nada de los Dursley, supongo que sera la misma tonica de la ultima parte. Si te lo preguntas, pues, no hablan nada de Sirius Black (el quinto libro deja una pequeña duda en relacion a como se puede comunicar Harry con el en el arco)

after reading all the Harry Potter books in english wich i enjoyed extreamly, was looking forward to find how much fun would it be to read them in spanish (my first language) also. i'm so desapointed with this "dictionary" translation, the book lacks feeling, fluidity, i find it choppy and to my amaizment was to find SO many gramar incorrectness in the book, this translation shows no real effort to capture the spirit of the caracters. it's a shame that the translators did not take advantages of all the posibilities that such a great language as spanish offers to give this book the same feeling and fun to read as the english versions.

Average Reviews:

El final de la saga Harry Potter, de verdad muy bueno el libro, lo lei en menos de una semana. Entre los puntos positivos el mas destacable: Al fin se devela el misterio Severus Snape (sorprendente!!!!!!!!!), asimismo tiene poco desperdicio, es decir, poco material de relleno como ocurria en ediciones anteriore. La despedida de los Dursley es bien llevada, sin mucho detalle insignificante, muy al grano. Otro punto curioso del libro es que nombra a casi todos los personajes de los anteores, si la memoria no me falla tan solo Gildroy Lockhart, Mirtle La LLorona y Madame Maxime son los no nombrados. Si bien es cierto a muchos de ellos era para tan solo decir: alli estaba Cho sentada.
Tiene sus puntos negativos, entre ellos: demasiadas muertes,algunas innecesarias y sin sentido a la trama. Existe una laguna con Dolores Umbridge, ya que en el sexto libro estaba en San Mugo y en este libro aparece con un alto cargo en el ministerio de magia!!!!!!!! como se recupero???, no menciona nada al respecto. Tambien recuerda al señor de los anillos en uno de sus pasajes cuando habla de que el cargar un Horrocrux en el cuello le producia una sensacion de pesades, desanimo y mal genio a quien lo portara (Ron, Harry y Hermione), lo cual por lo menos a mi me parecio chocante.
Como comentario final, el lirbo tiene un epilogo (no se titula asi), pero deja un buen sabor de boca y sobre todo el penultimo parrafo no deja de sorprenderte.

This is a great, easy, relaxing way to keep up your already advanced Spanish. It might also be a good way to greatly improve your intermediate Spanish. Keep a dictionary and a notepad handy for those new vocabulary words. Or don't. After a little while of recording new words, I finally quit and just read for the pleasure of it, deciphering words by context. Sometimes I grabbed the English version to check a phrase. That worked well, too. In short, for use as a language builder and confidence builder, I highly recommend this book to you. However, if you're hoping to comprehend the complexities of grammar, there are just enough strange turns of phrase in this book that I would say this is not your first source for grammar lessons.
