Impressive collection of HP books! I used to buy them in various languages, too, back in the day when they used to mean much more to me than they do now.
For me, so much of the mood in the books depends on the work of the translator, btw. Some languages just kept the English names for things, and I think that takes away a lot of what is there originally. But then again, I'm a huge fan of our translator and his "Norwegianizing" of everything. He got both praise and criticism for that, but I adore what he did, seriously :)
Okay, random ramble about the only thing I could understand of this post. Well, that and my name, of course.
