I have a Harry Potter and the philosophers stone 4th edition book, paperback, bought in Argentina in 2001, which was printed in Spain in 2001.

Given the history of the publishers that I discussed previously, having an Emecé imprint is definitely rarer than a Salamandra imprint.

For instance, when Hagrid ticks off the teachers who helped protect the Stone, he refers to el profesor Sprout (which, por supuesta, ought to read la profesora Sprout). K. Rowling, pronounced like rolling, her name when her first Harry Potter book was published was simply Joanne Rowling. It may depend whether you’re logged in or not, whether you are in a private window in your browser or whether you are using any privacy extensions—it’s not 100% clear.

The language is varied enough to be interesting but with recurrent themes that make it easier to pick up new expressions and vocabulary. The first edition that was printed in Argentina is a complete outlier so let’s separate it out and look at it later (you’ll get an inkling of why I think it deserves it’s own recognition as an interesting variant). You’ll find different ones for each region and where you find them will be a pretty good indicator of which region they are.El verano de Harry Potter incluyó el peor cumpleaños de todos los tiempos, las inquietantes advertencias de un elfo doméstico llamado Dobby, ¡y el rescate de las garras de los Dursley gracias a su amigo Ron Weasley en un automóvil volador mágico!
