Summary: decae harry potter...
Review: cuando vi la 1era pelicula de harry potter me volvi fan... lei los primeros 4 libros despues y me impresiono la organizacion: el juego de palabras, la trama que a lo ultimo te cambiaba toda la serie, etc...
pero este quinto no me dejo muy satisfecho ya que en el cuarto pasan eventos, con los cuales ya sientes que ya viene la super aventura... pero no, al principio esta mas o menos interesante... pero la estancia en Hogwarts es muy tedioso leerlo y te aburre porque no pasa mucho...

no recomiendo leer este libro mas que si andas aburrido y te quieres aburrir mas... espero que rowling mejore la serie con el sexto libro con el half-blood prince...

Summary: Excellent language practice
Review: I'm an adult with a reasonable command of Spanish as a second language. I can read a newspaper fairly easily, and I can hold mutually interesting conversations with people, so long as their speech isn't too slangy, to regional, or too fast. I found Potter #5 in spanish translation to be an entertaining way to do some "continued reading". If you're an adult who feels sheepish about reading kid's books, trying to improve or maintain your command of Spanish, this will give you a good excuse.

There's nothing like reading a book like this to make you realize that there's many different kinds of vocabulary. Compared to say, magazines, newspapers, or more technical books, Potter #5 is chock-full of everyday dialogue, human relationships, colloquial expressions, and words having to do with emotional states, facial expressions, noises, and such. Not to mention the more specialized vocabulary, like, "spell", "dungeon", "sorting hat", or "dark arts". I certainly found a good dictionary to be useful.

Although this book is published by a press in Spain, the characters speak a Spanish closer to the Latin American than the iberian variety (e.g, the "y'all" second person plural verb inflection is not used, and "coger" is avoided). This is, I suppose, a reflection of the demographic weight of Latin America vis-a-vis Spain, and, for all I know, is standard practice in one-size-fits all translations. I suspect it is a careful translation, although my Spanish really isn't good enough to tell.

If you think that reading a translation from the English is a poor way to learn about hispanic culture, I would reply that 1) the Potter books are hugely popular in spain, 2) This is a european, not a north american book. whereas we have not a single authentic castle, Spain has hundreds of 'em. And 3) who cares, if it gets you reading spanish?

Summary: beware of binding
Review: If this is the same paperback binding we bought at our local bookstore, it will fall apart on you. We had one fall apart, and returned it for another copy that fell apart also. The book is just too large for the type of glue and paper used.
