Harry Potter Und der Gefangene Von Askaban (German Edition)

I first purchased Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen and fell in love with it. The first chapter book I read in English as a child was Sorcerer's Stone and the first chapter book I read in German was der Stein der Weisen. I went on to purchase the next one and finally this one. I hope to buy the rest of the books (or maybe someone will get them for me for Christmas!(Hint hint to anyone who knows me lol) Anywho, the translation seems to be very accurate unlike the Spanish translation that I had read before. It's fun and easy to understand, a great way to practice your German. I love to show the books to my friends, who find German fascinating since they only had Spanish in their high schools. I recommend this book (and series, really) to anyone who wishes to practice their German (especially if like me, you have no native German speakers for friends).

These books are a great tool for English speakers who have read the series in English and want to improve or maintain their German language skills. I started reading book one at German level B2-1 of the common european framework of reference for languages (roughly 'lower-upper-intermediate' level) and, once I got past the first chapter or so and got used to it, found the reading to be not only doable but enjoyable. I think many of the words would be difficult for someone who had not already read the books in English (unless you happen to already be familiar with words like 'Kobold'...). I have actually read the English series a number of times and was worried that the German translation would be too different and I wouldn't like it, but that has absolutely been no issue, I think they did a fantastic job with the translations. Enjoy!

Harry Potter is fun in almost any language. It's especially fun in German. For Potter is Gothic. It's Brothers Grimm-ish. It has castles, dungeons, wizards, potions and strange creatures. If German is a second language for you, this is the perfect book to read. It moves quickly, maintains interest, has a (somewhat) limited vocabulary and simpler grammar than many books intended for adults. Give this a whirl!

The German version is done well, and the story is good in both languages. The language level is not too difficult for B2 level German learners.

I love the Harry Potter stories. And I'm learning German. What better way to facilitate language learning than by listening to these audio CDs while driving. Knowing the story line helps immensely in understanding and learning new vocabulary. The reader speaks clearly and uses a different intonation for every character. I understand more and more every time I listen to these CDs. Sometimes I review a sentence several times in a row and practice saying the sentence to learn new vocabulary or learn complex verb tenses.

I liked the Book. It was practicly the same In german as it was in english. the only problem Is That germans dont have all the words we do so it lost some Of its Fabulous Detail That we know J.K writes with. Its a good book but read it in english first.

I read the books as a teenager and everything JK writes is fantastic. I am currently rereading them in german since I learned it a long time ago and wanted to keep at least part of my language skills. With and engaging and captivating story and just the right level of advanced vocabulary, theses books are a great way to keep your german alive!

Es ist schwer für mich über diese Autorin zu screiben. Ich liebe alle die Filme und ich hab fast 4 von den Bücher gelesen aber ich hab alle die Bücher nur auf Deutsch gelesen(meine 3te Sprache) also ich kann net so leicht sagen, dass Joann Rowling ne' gute Autorin ist sondern, dass ihre Bücher und Geschichte mir sehr gut gefallen. Vielleicht werd ich eines Tages die Bücher auf English lesen aber jetzt lese gern auf Deutsch. Ich werd alle Harry Potter emphelen.

ho deciso di aggiungere questa edizione alla mia già fiorente collezione di harry potter perché la ritengo molto bella, copertina in semplice cartonato ma decorata nei minimi dettagli. ne consiglio l'acquisto a chi come me è un amante del mago più famoso in circolazione.

ce commentaire s'adresse à plusieurs versions de ce roman en langue allemande car il est impossible de les différentier sur le site: brochée souple petit format et reliée rigide moyen format des éditions Carlsen Verlag de 1999/2007 l'audiobook (en 9 cassettes) elles présentent le troisième épisode de la célèbre série mettant en scène le petit sorcier anglais;dans cet opus, on retrouve Harry à la fin du second été passé dans son affreuse famille adoptive; après les habituelles vexations caricaturales suivies de vengeances magiques non moins extravagantes (tout cela fidèlement à la recette éprouvée dans les deux premiers épisodes) Harry finit par s'échapper et se retrouve à Londres puis Poudlard où le fait nouveau cette année est la menace d'un horrible criminel échappé de la prison du Ministère; il menace toutes la société des sorciers mais se révèlera pas si méchant que çà; hormis les personnages classiques (Dumbledore, Hagrid etc), l'apparition de nouveaux animaux fantastiques (les hippogriffes) et la révélation du véritable destin du rat de Ron complètent le tableau en éclairant grandement les passionnés sur les origines d'Harry; cet épisode est donc un tournant dans l'épopée permettant de comprendre le début et laissant imaginer la fin;; la version souple suffira largement en étant tout de même plus lisible que l'édition de poche tandis que l'édition reliée conviendra mieux aux collectionneurs car de plus grand format; l'allemand est, bien que plus difficile que l'anglais, abordable avec un bon dictionnaire pour vérifications; un bon moyen de se mettre à cette langue pour de nombreux fans français qui connaissent déjà l'histoire par coeur; mieux encore pour apprendre l'allemand l'audiobook que vous pouvez transférer en fichier mp3 et écouter dans la voiture; le pb des cassettes est qu'il en faut beaucoup (9 dans ce cas) et que les jonctions entre chapitres sont parfois un peu cahotiques; je n'ai pas encore testé les CD MP3 beaucoup plus chers mais certainement plus pratiques!

This book is a wonderful and very educational read for those who are well on their way to being a competent reader of the french language.
