(no subject)
I finally decided to read the last two Harry Potter books. That's what I mostly have been doing this week. On monday after school I went to the library to get The Half-Blood Prince and The Deathly Hallows and in about a day I had read the sixth book. Now I'm about half way through the last one. It had been a long time since I last time read a HP... about four years I think.
The first five books I have read in Finnish because my English had not developed so much then. But these last two I'm reading in English as I prefer books in the original language (as long as I can understand the original language). Translation of a book is always different than the original as it represents the translator's view of the story.
When I was younger, I was quite obsessed and I event to two HP LARP's, the first when I was 13. I used the name Salazarina derived from Salazar Slytherin as my online name when I was younger because I felt so Slytherin. Fell, I still feel Slytherin. I even had a small crush on Tom Felton who plays Draco in the movies.
