Important vocab again - wether you like this fairytale or not. My collegue told me recently that he did not plan to read the 7th installment of the series, because he was so disappointed with the development of 鄧不利多. He did not know the German (= English) name.

oh I just started reading book 7 yesterday, because I had exams before that. I've never seen the Chinese versions, but I must say, 阿不思 is a terrible name for Dumbledore. sounds like a complete dimwit. The 鄧不利多 part isn't much better.

I finished the last book two days ago. It was a mad race to finish reading it before someone spoiled it for me. Everyone in the office is reading it and some people are better than others at keeping quiet about the ending. I'd love to one day be able to have a conversation about Harry Potter in Chinese. That would be kind of fun. Thanks for posting the character names.

AVAILABLE? - Does anyone know whether the new Harry Potter book is available now in Hong Kong or say Shanghai? Or maybe Singapore for that matter. It might be time for me to make a little 'book' run. :)

Lantian, there have been articles on yahoo that bootleg copies of the Harry Potter book are being sold on the streets in those cities... Don't get ripped off though! Make sure they didn't just put a new cover on one of the old ones. The way to tell is flip to the beginning of the last chapter of the book. Harry Potter dies, Dumbledore resurrects him after resurrecting himself, and Hermione starts to explore her blossoming sexuality at wand camp. TaiPan

The new Harry Potter book was available worldwide from midnight, whatever day last week - I could have got it here in Taipei 15 hours earlier (or whatever the time difference) than my friends in Vancouver. So yeah, it's available everywhere - but in English only. The Chinese translation usually comes out a few months later. Like Dottie above, I bought it and read it as quickly as possible not so much because I'm a huge Harry Potter fan (they're good but not THAT great) but because I knew someone would spoil it for me. The Chinese-language news doesn't seem to recognize the concept of "spoilers" - on Saturday night the TV news and the newspapers in Taiwan were carrying complete plot summaries, including the ending. (For #6 I'd finished the book just hours before my sister-in-law told me the ending.) Anyway, I got through it before anyone ruined the ending for me. And TaiPan, don't you DARE give away the romantic ending to the Hermione/ Ginny subplot!

Hi Guys, thanks for the 'info', but I'd like some confirmation from someone. Certainly 'worldwide' does not mean mainland China. I'm thinking Hong Kong has it, but I want to be sure before going. If it's in Shanghai, then maybe I'll go there! thx

As far as I know, there is no English version out yet in China. I figure China is part of the world. ;p

Sorry about that Lantian. Could it be the publishers are concerned about pirating? 請讀高級假冒iPhone新課文.

The August 1 2007 New York Times has an article called "Chinese Market Awash in Fake Potter Books" -- Lantian, perhaps you can find one of those to read! I gather "Journey to the West" comes into one of these books, which sound like fanlit gone wild. Somewhere else I read that amateur-produced Chinese translations were posted and then taken down, due to, believe it or not, copyright issues.
