Harry Potter Et la Chambre Des Secrets (Folio Junior) (French Edition) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Having read all the books in English, I picked this up to see what I could make of it. It is extremely well-edited; it keeps the important plot points and preserves all the flavor of the original book. Reading it in French, I noticed some subtle (and really adorable) things that I missed in English,...

Harry Potter Recorder Songbook (Book Only) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this for my son (8), who is a big Harry Potter fan. I am sure that my son will have no trouble learning the songs once he has learned some basic music concepts.Pages 2 - 5 have information about recorders and music that come in handy if you have forgotten most of what you learned in grade school....

Harry Potter Et La Coupe De Feu / Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (French Edition) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Reading this book wasn't just fun, but it really helped me in my French. I learned more in reading it than I have in all of my classes combined. There are some little changes in it, but that is because of the language difference and my over-reading the English version led me to know its wording too well....

Harry Potter and History (Wiley Pop Culture and History Series) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I enjoyed this book, because it gives you more about Harry's world by exploring the real history that the wizarding world is built on. There are interesting chapters about where bezoars, mandrakes, the Philosopher's Stone, or particular spells and potions came from, and how they were used by Muggles...

Harry Potter y el misterio del principe / Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince (Spanish Edition) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Buen libro. Definitivamente mejor que la quinta entrega. Aqui se desvela el misterio de Snape. Lo unico reprochable es que la explicacion de por que Dumbledore creia en Severus Snape, es demasiado escueta y de verdad no le encuentras ninguna clase de logica. Se habla poco o casi nada de los Dursley,...

Harry Potter y la Órden del Fénix Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)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...

Harry Potter y la camara secreta Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)...The translators chose idiomatic expressions particular to certain regions of Spanish-speaking countries, when common words would have been satisfactory. As if that was not bad enough, they also chopped up the narrative. This is not an abridged version, but a truncated one, as if they were in a hurry...

Harry Potter Golden Snitch Sticker Kit (Miniature Editions Kit) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I find it a little dissapointing. You will find no book here. Only 8 stickers. The four seals of the Four Houses of Hogwarts, the Hogwarts seal, and 3 portraits of Harry, Draco Malfoy and Cedric Diggory (not drawings, the actors). Then, there's the Golden Snitch. The stand where you can put it on is...

Harry Potter Time Turner Sticker Kit (Running Press Mega Mini Kits) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Although not as detailed as the prop in the film, this wood or resin copy (it's not metal) is a cool prop for an HP costume and an interesting necklace. I have gotten comments from HP fans and just general people who liked the look. It seems a bit fragile, so I have discouraged a lot of spinning by kids,...
