Not gonna lie..


I haven't read THAT many books in my life,but thanx to these books I'm definitely getting there. XD Also..from the moment I read these books in English I never allowed myself to read books in greek again. :p originals ftw.

ooh~ *high fives*
Mine was Goblet of Fire..I had read it in greek first,but then my English teacher gave me her english copy to read out of curiosity. :3 The difference was too huge. :x Everything was so poorly translated and lacked a lot of things in the local versions I had been reading... >_> There was no turning back from there XD I borrowed all the previous books in english from her to read..and bought my own enlish copies for the last 3 books. >D

I know what you mean! It's so much richer in the original, there's no comparing. And I always loved Brit speak, too. I have all of the series in English, and since then I always buy the original...most of my library is in English, actually.

But, wow, starting with Goblet of Fire is impressive! It's a very big book for your first time reading in English! Chamber of Secrets is tiny...
