Current progress: I read about 6 pages today; I'm at page 76. I had about 70 unknown words. That's quite a lot. Almost all of my Greek study time goes into learning unknown words at this point. I could push onwards, rather than learning every questionable word, as I am able to get the gist. But my goal is to totally master the Rowling's vocabulary so that I can begin increasing my reading rate. Currently, I read at about 26 words a minute (not counting word look-ups which I only do once I have finished a section). I would like to get that to 100 by the end of the Philosopher's Stone.

My favorite line of the last couple of pages is the one that Harry says to himself after waking up the next day after having met Hagrid, the half giant and keeper of the keys (κλειδοκράτορας). He thinks that the the whole thing was just a dream,

“Και να η θεία Πετούνια, που μου χτυπά την πόρτα για να ξυπνήσω.” (Note, in Greek the punctuation seems to always go outside the quotation marks.)

Translated: “And now Aunt Petunia is knocking at my door to wake me up.”

Of course it wasn't a dream and it's not Aunt Petunia'; it's an owl knocking at the window to deliver the morning newspaper.
