Harrius Potter et Camera Secretorum

Quick update. I did indeed manage to get hold of Harrius Potter et Camera Secretorum (HP and the Chamber of Secrets) on Thursday night at Foyles - I couldn't see any copies of the first HP in Latin, so went for the second instead. I read some of it on the train home. Not too tricky in places, impenetrable in others. Definitely one to read with a Latin dictionary at your elbow, and maybe even a grammar.

Talking of grammars, I also bought a small Oxford Latin Grammar, which treats 'v's as 'u's - as does the Open University Latin course material I've just received in the post - which is hard for me to get used to, as someone brought up on the Cambridge Latin Course, where v is v and u is u. If you see what I mean. But I daresay it will be useful to learn a new system and be able to use both/either as required.

When I've had a chance to plough through the first chapter, I'll blog more about Harry Potter.
