Product Description

Following the success of Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis comes a Latin edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second novel in the phenomenally successful saga of wizard-in-training Harry Potter. After a miserable summer with his relatives, the Dursleys, Harry returns to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his second year. There, he teams up again with bosom buddies Hermione and Ron to figure out who—or what—is behind the terrifying incidents that are leaving some students petrified…literally. Perfect for Latin scholars, collectors, or any Harry Potter fan who simply must have every book, no matter what language it’s in!

About the Author

PeteNeedham taught Classics at Eton for over 30 years. He has also translated Paddington Bear into Latin, 'Ursus Nomine Paddington.' He lives in Slough, in England.  J.K. Rowling was born in England in 1965. She always loved writing more than anything else, and in 1996, one year after finishing it, Bloomsbury bought her first novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Millions of copies later…the rest is Hogwart’s history.

Customer Reviews

Peter Needham--Magus Redux5
A fan of Peter Needham's brilliant translations of Harry Potter, I've posted a lengthy review of this latest installment, a review unfortunately too long to appear here, on my own web site:web.me.com/efirmage/Supporting_Documents/Scholarly_Works_files/Review%20of%20Harry%20Potter.pdf. The review includes numerous examples of Needham's deftness in turning idiomatic English into equally idiomatic Latin. Suffice it to say, this new translation is as good as the first. I can't imagine a better way to introduce kids to the fun of Harry Potter and Latin. And for anyone interested in learning conversational Latin (no, that's not a contradiction in terms), this book is a superb teacher.

Fun way to practice your Latin comprehension5
What a great way to practice Latin! I am a Harry Potter fan, and being able to read it in Latin was a treat. I often struggle to find ways to practice Latin, and reading Harry Potter was infinitely more enjoyable to be than trying to work through Cicero or De Bello Gallico... I highly recommend it to anyone trying to learn or wanting to practice Latin.

Great Translation!5
Praised be the one who translated this book.
The editing is very professional, and I am hoping they
translate the rest of the books also.
