About this deal

I have a copy with ISBN 978-84-7888-654-8, but with the criteria you listed in the article, it’s definitely Latin America and not Southern Cone. The ISBN locates it as Spain—when penguin took over, they’ve started publishing the books in individual countries with local ISBNs, so my inclination would be to say that it’s a European Spanish book. No llores, vamos a enviarte muchas lechuzas…y un inodoro de Hogwarts”-Don’t cry, we’re going to send you lots of owls…and a toilet from Hogwarts. Thanks for mentioning this book—the list of ISBNs here only has Philosopher’s Stone on it although I am gradually working towards a list of everything—there’s just so many! L'espagnol n'est pas particulièrement compliqué et, pour ceux qui connaissent l'histoire, pas besoin de préciser que l'histoire est top!

Some of the first variations that started me thinking that there were more than one regional adaptation also turned out to be one of the most misleading. It’s not clear precisely when that change was made, but as late as 2006-2008 Erised was still being used. Steve Eddy, who taught Rowling English when she first arrived, remembers her as "not exceptional" but "one of a group of girls who were bright, and quite good at English. If the publisher is listed as “Emecé / Salamandra” it means that the book was (or allegedly was) published under both imprints. Below, I’ll explain how I came to my conclusions, provide a lot of detail what kind of variations exist and tell you how you can determine what regions your own editions belong to.The language is varied enough to be interesting but with recurrent themes that make it easier to pick up new expressions and vocabulary.

In the Americas, the boundaries are not as clear because you can find Spanish speakers the length of the two continents and there are also big distinctions in their Spanish as well. Her latest children’s novel The Christmas Pig, published in 2021, is a standalone adventure story about a boy’s love for his most treasured thing and how far he will go to find it. Off the top of my head, “proyectiles de metal” is likely directly due to “pellet” which is sometimes ammunition but also can be any material that has been pressed into hard little sphere or cylinder (except medicine which would be a ‘pill’).It’s a little daunting and while I know lots of people that have the first book, I don’t know a lot that have the remainder. Inspired by the original companion volume, it was the first in a series of new adventures featuring wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander. The evidence for this is not totally conclusive, but I was able to see samples of three copies of the first edition: 4th, 14th and 17th printings, all produced between the fall of 1999 and August of 2000.

Rowling has said of her teenage years, in an interview with The New Yorker, "I wasn’t particularly happy. There are more Spanish-speaking people within a 50 mile radius of where I live than English-speaking.For some newer editions, their regional availability seemed sufficient evidence to categorize them sight-unseen; those determinations should be considered less reliable than when I inspected the book for linguistic characteristics. K. Rowling also wrote three short companion volumes for charity: Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in aid of Comic Relief, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, in aid of her international children’s charity, Lumos. The fun of reading the story kept bringing me back– and it made learning the language fun on its own account. En su primera clase de adivinación, la profesora Trelawney ve un presagio de muerte en las hojas de té de Harry.
