Read 2 times. Last read June 28, 2016 to July 30, 2016.
This was so much fun reading this in French! I was a bit anxious from at first if I would be able to understand everything, but it turned out fine.
And the funny thing is that after all these years I find it extremely stupid how Gryffindor (or Gryffondor) won in the end.
I loved how some things were called differently in French, very interesting!
Here are few to mention.
Poudlard
Madame Guipure
Drago Malefoy
Neville Londubat
Severus Rogue
Gryffondor
Poufsouffle
Serdaigle
Serpentard

Congrats! I'm french, I know how it is difficult to read our language and find the equivalences ^^#TeamSerpentard 🐍💚
That's funny, I'm French and read this book this year in English for the first time ;)

I never did... I only heard a couple of chapters my friend had on Cassette tapes.

Oh, thank you so much! French is lovely but very challenging. 🤦♀️

I'm totally amazed by all the wonderful translators who created new word and names to cope with the Harry Potter world. It's so fascinating. And it also makes it that every time you read HP in a new language there is a whole new aspect to it.
I read it in Czech, English. Now, I'm reading it in French and I'm planning on reading Slovak and Italian versions. And it's so fascinating!
Slytherins got robbed by Gryffindor in the end. :D

Swaroop wrote: "Severus Rogue! hehehe"I know! It's fascinating how names were changed in different translations. 😂
the cover is so beautiful
Rebecca wrote: "the cover is so beautiful"Totally! I find these French editions so pretty. My favourite to be honest.

Congrats! I've read them both in French then English and I had to keep my french book close to understand some special names ^^ Like Rusard and Miss Teigne being Filch & Mrs Norris haha. BTW who's Madame Guipure, I don't remember her in either languages

BTW who's ..."I get it! I first read HP in Czech, so, switching to English was so confusing. Especially the names. Like Dumbledore is Brumbál. Hogwarts is Bradavice.
A lot was changed, so, it was hard at first to connect the names with those I knew in Czech.
Madame Guipure is Madam Malkin, she sells robes in Diagon Alley.
How wow I totally forgot that name haha 😂 Weird that they even changed Dumbledore’s name in Czech 😯
