Learning French and knowing of the books easy reading, I gave this book a try, if I say so myself this translation is much better than the first one, very few spelling mistakes and great plots.
For those learning French, this is a wonderful addition to your language library. Like the English versions, the trials and tribulations of young people at school are the center of the story. It's a tale about learning new roles, new relationships, and about the world at large--however disguised by magic and fantasy--and has a unique charm. I found the vocabularly and sentence structure a little more challenging, but I noticed a similar development in the English versions. It's almost as though the author was writing for a specific child or children whose reading skills and maturity had progressed beyond that reflected in book one. Alternatively she herself might be just reaching her full stride as an author. Whatever the case, in French it translates to a marvelous progression of learning materials from the basics of book one to the more advanced level of this one.
These are children's books with a lot of action and dialogue-- perfect, easy reading for the non-native speaker, well and carefully translated...
I found it great! I'm taking French currently and although I had to ask my dad for a lot of the words, I found it funny! Great translation, and as usual, the best book. Read the English version before you read others to get the real J.K. Rowling. But still a great substitution for non-English speakers.
I was thrilled to find the entire Harry Potter series in French. I have to learn a language for my degree requirements, and while everyone SWEARS that Spanish is more helpful, I just never liked it much. French is much more "romantic" (but rather nasally, don't you think?). What better way to learn of Romance than through the words of J.K. Rowling? I can't wait to quote passages back to my Harry Potter-obsessed friends.
On a whim I decided to read through this book, and it proved to be a very fun and effective way to improve my french, while enjoying a great story. The translation reads very well, and the plot will keep you on the edge of your seat (and your nose in the book) until you're done with it.
I wanted to improve my French and figured there was no better way to do so than read some books in French. So, after reading Le Petit Prince, I decided I'd much rather read something that I knew I would enjoy so I decided on the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings series.I bought Le Prisonnaire d'Azkaban not only because it was, at the time, the cheapest of the series, but also because it has a great storyline with Harry meeting Sirius for the first time. I think this is one of the best books in the series and I think this French translation kept to the original version very well. The only thing that took a bit of getting used to was that there were, of course, several name changes in this version (such as the House names). Overall, I think this was an excellent book and is great for helping to improve or retain one's French.
What a fantastic book! I read them all in English, but wanted to challenge myself to read it in French. The pages were very thin, but that made the book smaller and easier to transport. The book arrived much faster than I expected it.
