Harry Potter - Russian: Garri Potter i Filosofski Kamen/Harry Potter and the Phi

Product Information

In English-speaking countries, Petrova - the feminine form of the very common Russian surname Petrov - is frequently taken for a feminine given name.

The differences are firmly in place and are due to a combination of historic, linguistic and cultural factors. The appearance of the latter is especially curious if one takes into account the fact that neither of Rowling's Comic Relief books has been translated officially: the only two existing versions available to Russian-language readers come from the People's Translation project and that unknown Israeli source.The thing that is important to understand here is that not all amateur translation is done by amateurs. Attentive viewers have also found further “loaned” masterpieces - for instance, Ilya Repin’ ‘Archdeacon’ and ‘Taking a Rest’ and a portrait of the playwright Nestor Kukolnik painted by Karl Bryullov.

In a 2006 interview, Yemets said that he had moved on to "urban absurd comic genre fantasy" with the Buslaev series, but that there was still reader demand, and sufficient material, for an 11th Tanya book. Of the three volumes she had translated, only The Prisoner of Azkaban did not receive annual mock award for the worst translation ( Chamber of Secrets) or the worst editing job ( Goblet of Fire).In the screen adaptation, we even see the Durmstrang coat of arms depicting a Russian-style double-headed eagle and the dome of an Orthodox church. Harry Potter’s wizardry has happened so often it almost seems old hat: A book goes on sale in another country to much hype, drawing dedicated fans and selling like magic. In fact, the Hobbit Games of the beginning 1990-s were so well known that 'being fannish' is still associated with role-playing and Lord of the Rings in certain circles of fandom. Apart from that, the particular design of a tea-glass holder on Dumbledore’s desk has enabled devotees of antiques to attribute it to the Leningrad Jewelry Factory. While you can, arguably, translate books one through seven and get away with it, you can not share the result of your work.
