Harry's at Diagon Alley. O.M.G. What a vocabulary nightmare. I thought that perhaps most of the specialized magical vocabulary might be borrowed from the English. But that certainly wasn't the case. Not only where there a lot of words that I didn't know, but many of the words were rare and specialized words that I couldn't find in my Greek-English dictionary or the various online resources that I had some seem to be words from Greek folk literature. The result being that it took me a ton of time to look up many of the words which I might very well never run into again, outside of Harry Potter.
Still the story is great fun and my progress has been constant. In a few short pages Harry will have his magic wand and he'll be off to platform 9 and 3/4 (πλακφόρμα 9 και 3/4). After that I'm hoping that I'll start seeing some real progress.
