Harri yn Cymraeg! 4 out of 5 stars.

Dydwi ddim yn credu mod i yr cyntaf yma!
The story is likely familiar to most readers, so I will not comment on that or Rowling's writing here.
But I thoroughly enjoyed the chance to read a book in Welsh! As a non-native Welsh speaker, this was a welcome chance to practice and expand my vocabulary (how many different words are there for look/glance/peer/etc?!) and my grammar.
I read this book with a pair of Welsh dictionaries and the English translation ready at hand. It was a *great* help to know what the line was supposed to say (either from my knowledge of the story or from the English.) I could have read it without the dictionary, I suppose, but I wanted to actually learn the new verbs, and annotate things in the text.
The idiosyncracies of literary Welsh took a bit of getting used to (since I learned conversational Welsh, as most learners do), but after a few days I figured it out. The translator seemed to not be using the South Wales spoken dialect for verbs, pronouns and so on, which was difficult at first also since that is what I learned.
Hagrid's dialect, and various other terms (the 4 houses--Hwfftipwff, Crafangfran, Lleuerol, Slafennog; and Quidditch terms) were great fun to read, but would be confusing to some readers (since they would not be in a dictionary, but can be puzzled out, thanks to the translator's careful work in keeping the sense and meaning of the original English). If you are just learning the language, this book is too complex--I would rate this for medium to advanced learners. (Os dychi'n Cymru Cymraeg, basai'r lyfr yma ddim yn anodd, ond hwyl iawn.)
Pryd dyn ni'n medru darllen y llyfr nesaf?

Editorial Review:

J. K. Rowling was born in Chipping Sodbury in the UK in 1965. Such a funny-sounding name for a birthplace may have contributed to her talent for collecting odd names. Jo always loved writing more than anything and in 1996, one year after she finished it, Bloomsbury bought her first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I read this in a few hours... It was pretty good. If you've read the English version, I'd still recommend reading a version in a different language. You see things differently and it'll help you see the story in a more interesting light.

Of course, if you aren't fluent in Russian, it's probably challenging to read. But for everyone fluent in Russian, reading it is definitely a good idea.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is about a boy named Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione. This book has loads of surprising things happen to them. The climax of the book is exciting when he runs into someone that he really isnt suspecting to see or meet. Harry has some problems this year when he gets there. He get entered in a triwizard cup by someone unknown. Then he has Rita Skeeter a paper reporter for the wizarding world writing bad things about him in the newspaper. He starts getting through the tasks pretty well intell he gets to the triwizard cup when something wierd happens to him. Harry get into dangerous situation. Will he Survive?
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a great book to me because I like lots of action in my books. So if your looking for a lot of action this is the book for you. I also think this story setting makes the book very interesting as well. Mostly because its interesting to reading about the a magical fantasy world. I would definatley recomend this book to anyone who likes action filled books.

Editorial Review:

Great way to get your day school kid to work on hebrew in the summer. 5 out of 5 stars.

My daughter is a rising 5th grader in a Jewish day school, I bought this as a sneaky way to get her to keep up with her modern Hebrew in the summer. She knows the book by heart in English and surprised herself with her ability in Hebrew. Another spell cast by Harry Potter.

Best Book EVER!!!!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I wish to instill upon all my readers the solemnity with which I type these words today. It's been just under 48 hours since a large percent of Muggle-kind poured into bookstores worldwide to get their own copy of the most awaited book ever published. It was without a doubt the greatest novel I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Rowling writes so well that it all seems so real, real enough to become an international phenomenon that has made Harry's world leap into our hearts and homes. Hogwarts, Godric's Hollow, and Hogsmeade have all seemed to be out there just beyond the reach of our outstretched, groping fingertips. It is because of this that what I am writing now will be like no other review that I have ever penned. I have followed Harry from Number 4 Privet Drive, to the very end, and cherished every word. Ending the Harry Potter series is like drawing a line between his world and ours, it's the final breaking point at which our ever-growing curiosity will never be satisfied. And we know it. Even though it was voiced by J.K. long before the release was scheduled that this would be the final installment, I thought that, maybe, just maybe, there was some fleeting chance of another book. The first thing I ever read in the book assured me that it was a futile impossibility. In place of a synopsis, it simply stated 'We now present the seventh and final installment in the epic tale of Harry Potter'. This was it. End of story. Literally.

This is a book that cannot be passed up. It answers more questions in such a special way that only Rowling is capable of. If you wanted to know something about the previous books, the answers are in here. Every chapter was a good read, with nonstop action throughout. Many very important questions are left addressed, but unanswered until the latter part of the book, but within the first chapter, key elements of the plot are unveiled. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is one of those books that you will lay reading at night, fighting to overpower sleep, unable to put it down, and get through 100 more pages than you originally expected to before the drowsiness finally overtakes you. The dedication in itself is enticingly vague enough to make you want to read the book all in one sitting. Rowling addresses six of her friends and then has one final thing to say: 'And to you, if you have stuck with Harry until the very end.'. It made me uneasy, and it made me wonder, as I'm sure it will you.

I cannot say much about the plot that you do not already know, without revealing important determining factors in the book. I will however say that during Harry's search for the Horcruxes, he faces more obstacles that he has in any previous endeavor that he has undertaken. The power of evil is growing even stronger, and the magical world is not what it used to be at all. You'll have to read it to get to "the good stuff", and this is guaranteed a book that you won't find boring. It will be one of the best decisions of a read you'll ever make.
