But I also started thinking about titles and unnecessary change of such in
translation.

>>>>>>>>>>

I've always been found of Russian Lit, esp. Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky, but I
end up reading multiple translations, finding they can feel like entirely
different books. I've recently become found of Sapkowski's "Witcher" novels,
but the Polish-English translation feels stiff and he's hailed in Poland as
an outstanding, award-winning writer, so I don't know to blame the
translator or the writer.

I think part of the experience in HP is the British culture and language,
change that, and you change the feel of the stories.
