Have you ever wondered what Tom Marvolo Riddle is called in French? Or how to cast the Cruciatus Curse in Spanish (if you happen to be a Death Eater, or just really mean)? Or even just how Hogwarts is called in German? We certainly have. The list of Harry Potter translations even includes Latin and ancient Greek (which makes these dead languages all that more entertaining to study!).
Today, Harry, Ron and Hermione’s adventures can be read all in over 64 languages. However, in the end, it became a world-wide phenomenon and with it came Harry Potter translations. It featured a bit of magic, a strange school in a Scottish castle and a few centaurs and unicorns. Initially The Philosopher’s Stone was seen as just another children’s book. Monday 26 June 2017 marked twenty years since Harry Potter was first published.
