All Around the World

     The Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling has become a global phenomenon over the past few years. As of 2001, the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, has been published in 39 countries and has been translated into 31 different languages. Its all over the place! In locations like Africa,  the Americas, Asia, Europe, Iceland , and the Middle East.


     To side of this text you see a photo. This photo is from the Harry Potter series in Iceland. There the first book is called Harry Potter og viskusteinninn (Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone). The book was published in Icelandic back in 1999.

       Next you see a Japanese page.  I find it interesting all the different ways this has been published. Think about, right now somewhere in the worl someone is reading Harry Potter. Whoa. There the first book is called Harii Pottaa To Kenja No Ishi. That was published in 2001.
There. A little about two places and their JK Rowling novels, I shall continue this later. Farewell. Despedida. Jäähyväiset. Abschied. وداع
