 Poor translation of a great book January 8, 2006
24 out of 27 found this review helpful
It's a shame that such a wonderful book was translated so poorly. The translator, Alicia Dellepiane, has a tendency to translate literally. For example, she translated to "have a fit" (referring to the baby, Dudley, on the second page of the book), as "tenia un berrinche." In Mexico it's "hacia un berrinche" and in much of Latin America it's "daba un berrinche." Errors such as this one abound. It's awkward for readers who know Spanish well and misleading for those who might pick up this book to study Spanish.
I rate the English version as five star.

Es dificil decir porque me gusta tanto este libro, y no solo este, pero los otros cinco. Habla acerca de tantas cosas de la vida real, pero de una manera muy interesante: racismo, amor, muerte, valentia, poder... Es a simple vista un libro infantil, pero cualquier persona que pueda leer a profundidad -y no a tanta profundidad- puede pasar por encima de toda la fantasia que encarna el libro en si, de la magia, los hechizos, el castillo y los seres fantasticos. Y despues descubrir lo que en realidad quieres transmitir el libro.
Exelente libro - Pesima traduccion April 12, 2005

Nunca se deberia traducir palabras como "embarrased" a "embarazado". No tiene sentido. Le quita la dicha a uno de leer este libro. Lo compre para leereselo a mi hijo pequeno y tengo que siempre cambiarle las palabras "al vuelo" para que las oraciones tengan sentido. Una lastima que una obra tan buena se feamente desmejorada por la pesima traduccion

Este libro me ha captivado desde el primer instante en que lo lei. Si usted es un hispanoparlante o estas aprendiendo espanol no tendran ningun problema con este libro. He leido todos los libros de Harry Potter en espanol y cuando los comparo con las versiones americanas no veo nada perturbante. Recomiendo a todos que lean esta serie porque es tan buena que nunca querran parar de leerla. And for you english speakers who are scared, dont be. This is after all a children's book. If you feel intimidated then have your spanish english dictionary handy because there are some words that they just dont teach you in spanish class, lol. If you have payed attention in your spanish classes and know all your grammar then the only thing that you might not know are some new words, and hey...thats how you learn anyway. happy reading
 Great way to practice other languages July 23, 2004

This is a great, easy, relaxing way to keep up your already advanced Spanish. It might also be a good way to greatly improve your intermediate Spanish. Keep a dictionary and a notepad handy for those new vocabulary words. Or don't. After a little while of recording new words, I finally quit and just read for the pleasure of it, deciphering words by context. Sometimes I grabbed the English version to check a phrase. That worked well, too. In short, for use as a language builder and confidence builder, I highly recommend this book to you. However, if you're hoping to comprehend the complexities of grammar, there are just enough strange turns of phrase in this book that I would say this is not your first source for grammar lessons.
