Summary: an old language for a new tale
Comment: It is surprising ascertain as the translation of Needham is able to maintening the freshness of the tale. I am accustomed to use the latin in the latin-gregorain Mass, but it is however a curial latine; this one, on the contrary, is really modern !

Summary: Fun way to practice your Latin comprehension
Comment: What a great way to practice Latin! I am a Harry Potter fan, and being able to read it in Latin was a treat. I often struggle to find ways to practice Latin, and reading Harry Potter was infinitely more enjoyable to be than trying to work through Cicero or De Bello Gallico... I highly recommend it to anyone trying to learn or wanting to practice Latin.

Summary: A fall from grace
Comment: I admired the translation of 'Philosopher's Stone' and defended it against some criticism that I felt to be quite unfair: but I can hardly believe that this was by the same translator. To me, it reads like the effort of an enthusiastic student who has yet to grasp the principles of translating and transforming style and idiom.
A great disappointment.

Summary: Peter Needham--Magus Redux
Comment: A fan of Peter Needham's brilliant translations of Harry Potter, I've posted a lengthy review of this latest installment, a review unfortunately too long to appear here, on my own web site: edwinfirmage com/Review of Harry Potter.pdf. The review includes numerous examples of Needham's deftness in turning idiomatic English into equally idiomatic Latin. Suffice it to say, this new translation is as good as the first. I can't imagine a better way to introduce kids to the fun of Harry Potter and Latin. And for anyone interested in learning conversational Latin (no, that's not a contradiction in terms), this book is a superb teacher.


Editorial Reviews:

Following the success of Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis comes a Latin edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second novel in the phenomenally successful saga of wizard-in-training Harry Potter. After a miserable summer with his relatives, the Dursleys, Harry returns to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his second year. There, he teams up again with bosom buddies Hermione and Ron to figure out who—or what—is behind the terrifying incidents that are leaving some students petrified…literally. Perfect for Latin scholars, collectors, or any Harry Potter fan who simply must have every book, no matter what language it’s in!
