Dominus et Domina Dursley qui vivebant in aedibus Gestationis Ligustrorum numero quattor
signatis ...' The first words of J.K. Rowling's timeless classic are more familiar to readers
as 'Mr and Mrs Dursley of number four Privet Drive ...' Following in the steps of other great
children's classics including Winnie the Pooh (winnie ille pu) and Paddington Bear (ursus
nomine paddington) Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is available in Latin. Learners
and lovers of Latin will delight in Peter Needham's sparkling translation which perfectly
captures the wit and invention of J.K. Rowling's original now reissued with stunning new cover
art from Jonny Duddle.
