Harry Potter- In Pig Latin !

Postby *Riley* » Friday 11 July 2008 12:31:01pm

I've taken my Pig-Latin obsession to a whole new level, I typed out the second chapter of;
Prisoner Of Azkaban, and I'm going to show you the original then the translated version.
I hope this is ok, I haven't gotten permission from anyone to copy Jk's words, but I'm hoping it is alowed. :)


Harry went down to breakfast the next morning to find the three Dursleys already sitting around the kitchen table. They were watching a brand-new television, a welcome- home-for- the-summer present for Dudley, who had been complaining loudly about the long walk between the fridge and the television in the living room. Dudley had spent most of the summer in the kitchen, his piggy little eyes fixed on the screen and his five chins wobbling as he ate continually.

Harry sat down between Dudley and Uncle Vernon, a large, beefy man with very little neck and a lot of mustache. Far from wishing Harry a happy birthday, none of the Dursleys made any sign that they had noticed Harry enter the room, but Harry was far too used to this to care. He helped himself to a piece of toast and then looked up at the reporter on the television, who was halfway through a report on an escaped convict:

"... The public is warned that Black is armed and extremely dangerous. A special hotline has been set up, and any sighting of Black should be reported immediately."

"No need to tell us he's no good," snorted Uncle Vernon, staring over the top of his newspaper at the prisoner. "Look at the state of him, the filthy layabout! Look at his hair!"

He shot a nasty look sideways at Harry, whose untidy hair had always been a source of great annoyance to Uncle Vernon. Compared to the man on the television, however, whose gaunt face was surrounded by a matted, elbow-length tangle, Harry felt very well groomed indeed.

The reporter had reappeared.

"The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries will announce today --"

"Hang on!" barked Uncle Vernon, staring furiously at the reporter. "You didn't tell us where that maniac's escaped from! What use is that? Lunatic could be coming up the street right now!"

Aunt Petunia, who was bony and horse-faced, whipped around and peered intently out of the kitchen window. Harry knew Aunt Petunia would simply love to be the one to call the hotline number. She was the nosiest woman in the world and spent most of her life spying on the boring, law-abiding neighbors.

:grin: Hope you liked it! ( and I hope you read it all ! ) :grin:

Ps. I have no recollction of whether I'm allowed to re-type the authors words but just keep in mind I'm only taking credit for the translation, not the full writing. :)

Pig Latin Potter? Know what? I'm going to translate a section into Japanese, as soon as I get back to japan, and can get my hands on a Japanese version of an HP book.

Welcome to my world. Even though I know three hundred times more Japanese than the average Amerikajin, whenever the natives at my school talk, I'm like, "Duhhhhhhhhhhhh."

Yeah, well, in Japan, we get a lot of Phillipinos, Americans, and a few Japanese at my school. Also, some Australians speak Pig Latin, so you actually don't go to a place with only one language.

Ah, French is a good language. But for HP- I have Philosophers' Stone in good old Latin. :grin:
I read it to my Latin class, too.

Latin, eh? How hard is it to learn Latin? It sounds like a very interesting language. Maybe I'll take it as a language class when I go back to the states.
