These words, better known as 'Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive ...' are the start of one of the most-read opening chapters in the world. This Ancient Greek version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone will introduce fans of Harry Potter to the beauty and clarity of the Ancient Greek language, while students of Ancient Greek (whether at school or at a higher level) will have the chance to read a modern classic in the language of the ancient storytellers.

About the translator: Andrew Wilson studied Ancient Greek at Dulwich College and later Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He taught Classics at Bedford Modern School for over thirty years and also runs a Classics website. Andrew lives in Bedford.

Work Description

Harry Potter #1

When mysterious letters start arriving on his doorstep, Harry Potter has never heard of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

They are swiftly confiscated by his aunt and uncle.

Then, on Harry’s eleventh birthday, a strange man bursts in with some important news: Harry Potter is a wizard and has been awarded a place to study at Hogwarts.

And so the first of the Harry Potter adventures is set to begin.
