For Harry Potter fans learning Russian

[simonff.livejournal.com]

Excerpts from Harry Potter fanfics written in Russian. Lots of examples of bad style and careless word usage. Incredibly funny.

My favorite is: "He was a Dark Mage and even knew some black magic"

Heh, I'll have to check those out. Actually, the Russian translations of the books themselves are pretty terrible. Evidently the Philosopher's Stone was so badly done that the publishers found another translator for the next two books. Unfortunately, however, they're not much better. And the translator put in entire paragraphs of her own writing that weren't in the original. Yikes.
