Where one could find Harry Potter in classical Greek? What store carries it, and where I can buy it?

Question

I am one of those rare GEEKS who studies classical Greek, and I would like to get my hands on a copy of the first Harry Potter book, which has been translated int Greek. Trouble is, Barns & Noble don't seem to have it; neither does Amazon.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

If you are absolutely sure it has been translated into Greek, try contacting J.K. Rowling's publisher directly. They are likely to know where you can get a copy of it or perhaps you can order a copy directly from them. Rock with your geekiness (or would it be GREEKiness--ha, ha).

Answer 2

Sometimes a smaller bookstore will bend over backwards to help you find a book that you really want, in order to compete with the big box bookstores. I've had success with a smalltown bookstore that has helped me find a couple of hard-to-get books.

Answer 3

I've seen it (and the classical Latin translation as well) on sale at universtiy bookstores. Good luck.

Answer 4

Here's an article that talks about it
