Summary: You don't need to be a native Russian speaker to enjoy it
Review: I'm actually a native English speaker and read this to work on my Russian; it's surprisingly effective if you're an advanced Russian speaker looking to improve. This translation is repetitive with vocabulary, allowing someone working on their language to improve it. It's challenging in a good way for a non-native speaker to understand what was going on for most of the book; the exception is the description of Quiddich, which was enitrely too complex for me. I thought that the dialoge sounded natural and well-written, although I gather from reading the Russian press's reviews of Garri Potter i Orden Feniksa that they believed that the first book was the most poorly translated of the five to date.
