Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen (German edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) Review
Several years ago I lived in Switzerland where I learned to speak German. Since then, I have lost some of my ability to speak German, so I bought this book hoping it would be at an 'easy' read. It took a few pages to get into the right mindset to read in German, but now I am reading it a lot easier. I occasionally use my English version to help me understand the meanings of some words better. If I am understanding the words right, this German translation does capture much of the same feeling and mystery that is in the English version.

Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen - Nat -
The book was shipped very fast and it was in excellent condition! Exactly as described. Very impressive and I will buy again!

The German version of Harry Potter loses nothing of the magic of the original and is a great way to practice your German. If you've read the English version first the whole story will be easy to understand and after a few pages you'll forget that you're reading in German. Immerse yourself in German and watch yourself become fluent!
Other great books I liked are Bissula (German Edition) and Die Biene Maja und Ihre Abenteuer (German Edition).
See my list "Great German Books".

I bought this book with the hopes that I would be able to understand it, even with my limited command of the German language (Studied for 4 years in high school), and to my surprise, I was able to make my way through it without any real trouble. It stays true to the original English, and its a good direct translation. I'd recommend it if you want to keep up with your German in a fun new way.
