My impressions of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Unfortunately, the second book reading marathon has ended. I made a lot of valuable discoveries from this marathon.
Firstly, our translators very censored the book. If I hadn't read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in the original, I wouldn't have known that Hagrid speaks like Cockney, and Ron often swears.
Anyway, the characters in the original use stronger expressions than in translation.
My favorite expression is the gnomes grunting in the Burrow’s garden when the boys threw them over the fence. I'm shouting: "Gerroff me!" as a joke to my husband when he, like a bothersome gnome, is interfering with something to do. Later he took a leaf out from me and began to shout in response: "Gerroff me!"
Secondly - the guys are constantly scared in the book! At least I got the impression) In almost every rubric of “Compare” for a week, I had an expression like as: "To be livid with terror" or "Jump out of skins" Well, either I paid too much attention to such phrases, such a tode may be.
Since my childhood, I disliked the movie in the second book, because the tape was with a terrible translation. The film in English has a similar problem. I just don't have time to understand what the heroes are talking about! Words are spoken too fast, word endings swell. Pleased only Severus Snape, Harry Potter and, unexpectedly, Ron Weasley.
These are the impressions of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
I look forward to reading the third book of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
This is one of my favorite books! Already mentally moving on the second of August, nine o'clock in Moscow, so that the School of Wizardry and Witchcraft again opened the door for me!

My impressions of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Unfortunately, the second book reading marathon has ended. I made a lot of valuable discoveries from during this marathon.
Firstly, our translators very heavily censored the book. If I hadn't read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in the original, I wouldn't have known that Hagrid speaks like a Cockney and Ron often swears. It seems that the characters in the original use stronger expressions than in the translation anyway.

(I'm not really sure what you mean by "rubric of 'compare' for a week"?)
I had an expression like as: "To be livid with terror" or "Jump out of their skins" Well, either I paid too much attention to such phrases, such a tode may be. I'm not sure what you mean by "tode". Is it a typo? I thought maybe "toad", but "such a toad may be" doesn't make sense to me? Is it an idiom translated literally?
Since my childhood, I have disliked the movie of in the second book, because it had the tape was with a terrible translation.
("I have always disliked the film/movie version of the second book because it was so badly subtitled/dubbed/translated")
The film in English has a similar problem. I just don't have time to understand what the heroes are talking about! Words are spoken too quickly fast, word endings as well. Pleased only Severus Snape, Harry Potter and, unexpectedly, Ron Weasley. I'm not sure what you mean here? Is "pleased" an autocorrect mistake?

(1) You use secondly when listing points. You would need to have firstly previously in your writing for this to make sense. Firstly I thought this... Secondly this.... Thirdly/finally this...
(2) I'm being pedantic, but I think it's the "School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" :)
Very good. Your writing is mostly quite natural. I think the only places you've had trouble are when you've tried to translate something a bit too literally. At least that's how it seems to me. I feel like I sort of know what you mean, but can't quite work it out. Metaphor and idiom translation is really difficult. Good work!
Good luck with Azkaban. It's my favourite book in the series too.
