'Dominus et Domina Dursley, qui vivebant in aedibus Gestationis Ligustrorum numero quattor signatis . . . '
These opening lines to J.K. Rowling's timeless classic series opener is more familiar to readers in English, but is now available in Latin. Following in the tradition of A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh (Winnie Ille Pu) and Michael Bond's Paddington Bear (Ursus Nomine Paddington), now Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone can be enjoyed by learners and lovers of Latin with this sparkling translation, which perfectly captures the magic and excitement of the original work.
"This translation is accurate and fluent, carried out with wit, inventiveness, sensitivity, and panache." -- James Morwood, Oxford University
