Review
It is fun to collect different editions of Harry Potter from around the world to notice the differences. The great thing about Scot’s is that it is related to English enough that even if you don’t know the language, you can understand it. It has a wonderful linguistic flair that reads well out loud or in your head and when you encounter localized terms, it’s a great learning experience to look them up to find their meaning. Very flavorful, fun, and a great addition to any collection.
