The last book of the Harry Potter series was released over the weekend throughout the world though many Georgian fans are waiting for a Georgian translation. Are you a Harry Potter fan? If so, have you already found a copy in another language—in English or Russian? What do you think will happen in the last book?

“I am fan of Harry Potter! It’s the best book I have ever read! I have all the previous books and also DVDs. I am very interested to see what happens in the last book. It is so difficult to guess what will happen but the most important is that Harry and his friends will offer us new magic tricks. I am looking forward to reading it and I am anxiously waiting for the translation in Georgian.”
Gigi, schoolboy, 10

“I like all the books but the best of them was the first one, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone”. It was fantastic! I have not read the new one but as soon as it is translated, I will read it. Unfortunately, I don’t know enough English yet to read it in the original. I am sure it will be very interesting and I am so sorry that it is the last book. I think Hermione and Ron will be lovers because I think Ron loves her. As for Harry, he is the hero and continues his magic activities. Some say that Harry will die but I don’t believe it. If this happens, I will be very dissapointed.”
Elene, pupil, 14

“I don’t like Harry Potter but my boy is crazy about him. Everything that happens in the book is so unreal so I can’t understand why people are so fond of it. As I remember the Patriarch also warned us against it because there are so many things that are anti-Christian.”
Tamuna, musician, 36

“My grandchild is a fan of Harry Potter and all the members of the family try to make sure he gets all the books. He has the movies as well. If there is another new book I think we will buy it for him as soon as it is in Georgian. I have no idea what will happen in the new book.”
Manana, teacher, 48

“Harry wont die I think because I don’t think the author finish it like that. I have discovered the last book and I am reading it and I like it very much. I really can’t read it fast enough. If Harry dies I will burst into tears. I like him so much.”
Mari, pupil, 11

“I like the magic things that are described in the book and I like Potter because he is very clever and brave. I call my doll Hermione because she is very beautiful. I think that Harry and Hermione will be together. I like both of them. And all the evil forces will be destroyed.”
Ekuna, pupil, 12

“I am not a fan of Harry Potter. I think it’s mainly for children. To tell you the truth, I don’t like such kind of genre, I prefer something more realistic.”
Giorgi, student, 20

“Oh, I like it too much and I’m dying to read the last version. I haven’t looked for it on the internet, but I’d like to read it as soon as possible. I’m also crazy about the movies as well.”
Lika, schoolgirl, 14

“I have read it to my children. I don’t like it so much, but my children are real fans, but I don’t know, why. Maybe it’s because of the good ad campaigns and hype for the book. I prefer our Georgian fairytales. But what to do? I read what they ask me to.”
Mari, housewife, 33
