Harry Potter ja viisasten kivi
Two and half months ago I made a promise to go through the Harry Potter series and read each book in a different language. I’m happy to announce that I have just completed the first one in Finnish and yesterday ordered Harry Potter und die Kammer des Schreckens from Amazon.de.
In the beginning, when I encountered a word that I did not understand then I mostly turned to Google Translate to try to translate it. I was amazed how much Harry Potter specific vocabulary Google Translate actually recognizes! For example, Google Translate knows that Tylypahka is Hogwarts, huispaus is Quidditch and Rohkelikko is Gryffindor. For all other words there is Potterwiki.

Hi there,
I am a teacher in England and I am looking to get hold of a copy of the Philosopher’s Stone in Finnish for a pupil in my class but cannot seem to track one down. Can you tell me where you were able to get hold of yours?
Many thanks for any help you can give.
Best wishes, A Green.
I am currently living in Finland so I just bought it from the local supermarket. Akateeminen Kirjakauppa (https://www.akateeminenkirjakauppa.fi) is selling it online and could possibly ship it to UK. Anyway, if you are having hard time finding it then I could just buy it from here and send it to you via mail. Send me an e-mail if you would be interested in doing that.
