4.0 out of 5 stars A useful and interesting learning tool, 11 Dec 2003

By A Customer

I read this book in English and loved it, well who hasn't dreamed about being a wizard or witch? The decision to read the Spanish version was the result of a desperate search for material with which to improve both my reaiding and writing in this language. It was great, ok so afer only 18mths learning Spanish I found some passages tough, but knowing the english version meant that I could piece the story together and enjoy the challenge. I would reccomend this to any Spanish people looking for a fun read and any students searching for a way to improve their Spanish. Trust me you'll learn idioms, new vocabularly and it looks impressive on the bus!

5.0 out of 5 stars MARAVILLOSO!, 2 April 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Harry Potter Y LA Piedra Filosofal (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)

Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal es un libro esencial para cualquier aficionado a la literatura fant�stica. No es un libro solo para ni�os, si no que es mucho m�s, es el reencuentro del adulto con ese mundo de fantasia que creia olvidado en el fondo de su alma. Ser� porque somos todos un poco muggles...

3.0 out of 5 stars Latin American approach, 27 Oct 2006

By	Franco-Hispano Irishman "neildb" (UK) - See all my reviews

I've read the whole series in English and French, and am now doing so in Spanish. The test of a good translation is that the reader should not be aware that he is reading a translation. The French accomplishes this admirably. The Spanish translator must have decided to bias his work towards the Latin American market, because the second person familiar plural "vosotros", is avoided in favour of "ustedes", which uses the third person and reads oddly to European speakers. Why, for example, would Hermione address Harry and Ron as "Your Graces" - fine for talking to adults who aren't close friends or family, but not for your best friends! This is, after all, a story based in Europe, not the Americas, so why not use European Spanish?

Also, we have "el snitch", "Hufflepuff" and, incredibly, "los muggles". Surely every country's magical community would have a term in its own language for non-magical people (in French it's "les moldus" - natural sounding). How do you even pronounce these words in Spanish? I think the translation could be considerably improved by the publisher's comparing the French translation and devising Spanish-sounding equivalents. In its present form, it causes a disconnection in the mind - when you read a foreign language, you think in that language and don't want to be brought up sharp by words that present a puzzle as to the pronunciation and have no meaning either in that language.

That said, when I deliberately ignore these problems, it provides a good opportunity to read current, idiomatic Spanish. Some alterations would make a good piece of work into an excellent one.
