In Spanish, Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal is a beginner read in our library. Alicia Dellepiane Rawson's translation of this children's fantasy keeps the plain, direct style of the original: the sentences are short, and dialogue fills a good share of the pages. The vocabulary needed is modest and the words to learn are those of a school for wizards, such as broomsticks, wands, owls, cauldrons and potions, plus a few of the book's own coinages, which readers who know the story will recognise at once; it makes a good first novel after a course or a graded reader.
