A review by estherdb
Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen by J.K. Rowling
5.0
Just read this book for the euhm... third time? It always feels like coming home. Whenever I want a comfort read, I go for Harry Potter... Especially the first book, what a magical, wonderful ride this is.
This time I decided to read it in German.
Now, obviously, it was still a wonderful experience, but it was somehow strange to read this English "classic" in German.
Some of the names and terminology were translated, when others weren't. (There were some strange decisions made in regards to this, in my opinion.)
But apart from that, I also weirdly felt that it somehow changed the mood of this book. Not in a bad way, just different.
