Thanks for posting the book covers T&F. I've never seen the German version covers before. I fing it interesting that in English we have to write out Goblet of Fire, but in German you just write Feuerkelch.  It would have worked with other titles too. "Phoenixorden" for example or "Schreckenskammer". That's called "Zusammengesetzte Hauptwörter".  BTW: Kammer des Schreckens means Chamber of horror or something like that. The only title which has been changed with the translation. |

That's called "Zusammengesetzte Hauptwörter". I had to look this up, it means substantive words. Now what does substantive mean?  |

I have never said that german is easy. But to think in german and read + answer in english as quick as possible that is sometimes really not easy I never thought i would write english again after school. I should take my "zusammengesetzte Hauptwörter" and go to bed. |

I can't understand what i'm doing here since a year. Unbelievable to write and read so much in English. I didn't like any foreign language in school and wasn't so good in English. So i stopped learning it as fast as possible (like Harry cancelled Divination). But the history stroke back and now i'm sitting here and doing nothing else. Unbelievable. |

I am always amazed that both of you (T&F and Tower) participate in this forum so well. It must be extremely diificult participating in discussions in a language that you learned years ago in school. I know for a fact that I could never do it.  You both have my highest admiration for your accomplishment. |
