Hello everybody, 
In the Spanish version you don't read Hagrid's accent (which is a 
loss), but I think it would be VERY difficult to give Hagrid an 
accent in Spanish; we have lots of different accents but I can't see 
how it could be done (Hagrid's accent). I'm grateful I can read the 
books in English because you lose half the "feeling" reading 
translations; I'm not saying they are bad, it's just not the same.
