Opis

Im a believer. I believe that somewhere, surrounded by our everyday lives, impossible to notice for a muggle like me, a whole secret world like Harry Potters might be concealed by some huge invisibility cloak. Rowling makes it possible that my son might ask me one day to go to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As he cant read any English, he can, however, only know his beans through the Dutch translation. But does that provoke the same feelings? Does it attend the same audience? And what audience is that? Children, Adults? What exactly is understood by childrens literature? To find out, I examined the differences and parallels between adults and childrens books and compared Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with its Dutch translation. Before the last Potter book appeared, people were wondering whether Harry would live or die. What would happen in number 7? We know by now, but as the last movies are coming up, you will enjoy my partial translation of the forecasts and speculations that were raised in Mugglenet.coms What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7: Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Falls in Love and How Will the Adventure Finally End?
