KEV67 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I was about thirty when the Harry Potter books started coming out, so I thought they were a bit beneath me. But since I have been trying to learn Latin, and there is a Latin translation, Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis, I thought it was a good opportunity to see what the fuss was about. I thought it was pretty good. I would definitely have enjoyed it as a child. I am not sure it would have replaced The Hobbit or Watership Down as my favourite book. I might have enjoyed it more than Famous Five, although I am not sure about that. To begin with, it reminded me rather of Roald Dahl, what with the horrible aunt and uncle and the badly behaved cousin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
