Me (Izaskun):
I don't know where you live, Ximena, so maybe this won't affect you, but I
heard today in the news that the Spanish version of Harry Potter won't be
released till next year, at least here in Spain, they didn't give an
especific date, though, so I think it will probably be around january. And
about the translations in general, I haven't read the books in Spanish, so I
don't know whether the translation is good or not, but I don't think I could
read them now because I know the ENglish version by heart, so probably
reading them in Spanish would be a bit awkward. I started reading the
American version if SS/PP and had to stop because I noticed every single
change in it. :-))

Cheers, Izaskun
