Harry Potter in Norwegian – how to improve your Norwegian while reading
The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling is a worldwide phenomenon. With a total of seven volumes that have collectively sold over 500 million copies, these books have achieved cult status. One of the many translations of these bestsellers is the Norwegian version. And it is this edition that can be an exciting and at the same time educational resource for those who want to learn Norwegian.
The great advantage of the Harry Potter books for learners of Norwegian is their orientation as books for children and young adults. This means that the language used is relatively simple in many passages. Especially for beginners who do not yet have an extensive Norwegian vocabulary, this offers the opportunity to immerse themselves in the language without having to constantly pick up a dictionary. But advanced learners of Norwegian will also benefit from the subtle nuances and more complex passages, and can deepen their understanding of the language.
For a long time, getting hold of the Norwegian editions of Harry Potter was a challenge, and many had to resort to imports or other detours. But the good news is that these coveted translations are now available through Amazon. Granted, the physical books are priced at the high end. But for true Harry Potter enthusiasts and those who want to combine their passion for the wizarding world with learning a new language, they are an invaluable investment in their language training.
For those who prefer a less expensive option or appreciate the convenience of e-books, there is also a digital version. This is available to owners of a Kindle or other e-book reader for just 8.99 euros. It’s a real alternative for anyone who doesn’t want to keep filling their bookshelf or who travels a lot.
If your interest has been piqued, just scroll down a little further. There you’ll find a detailed overview of all seven volumes of the Harry Potter series in Norwegian, including more information about each book.
