Prices of Hungarian books (only hardcover):

PS - $5
CoS - $5
PoA - $6
GoF - $9

Don't laugh, they ARE expensive for us, especially GoF :) (OT) But 
it's still cheaper than 3 gallons of gasoline, and much more fun than 
driving 90-100 miles :) Excuse me for constantly whining about 
European gasoline prices, but my another obsession is cars and 
driving...
Back to topic: i like these books, the translations of funny names 
are funny too, and the text is translated correctly. The only problem 
is that they were edited and printed in a hurry, so they contain 
punctuation errors (the most annoying type of errors, i think) and 
things like that. I hope that they will be corrected in later 
editions.

szerencsétlenség ért, hogy kifogtam egy hm...
hányásízû darabot. 
Azóta, sajna, nem sok kedvem van kísérletezni vele - de
ettõl a finom 
tejkaramellától nem kell félnem, igaz-e?
Dumbledore mosolygott, és bekapta az egyik aranybarna drazsét. 
Nyomban köhögni kezdett tõle.

OK, this is a quiz :) who can tell me which part is the above one ? :)
