Harry Potter in translation: The "Harry Potter" series of fantasy novels by J. K. Rowling have become some of the most widely read works of children's literature in history, with readers of all ages and in many countries.  In April 2011 worldwide sales of Harry Potter books were estimated to be about 450 million copies.  Oddly enough, it has been difficult to accurately determine with any degree of certainty exactly how many languages Harry Potter has been translated into.  As best as can be determined (as of 2017), The Philosopher's Stone has been officially translated from the original English into 73 other languages.  A 74th language, Scots, was announced on 2017-06-28 and it is expected to be available in October, 2017.  Both Bloomsbury's and J.K. Rowling's sites have recently stated that the books have been translated into 79 languages (80 with the 2017-06-28 announcement of Scots); however, it has been argued that number actually represents the number of authorized translations (of The Philosopher's Stone) plus the original English.  The number of authorized translations is not equal to the number of languages because there have been multiple authorized translations into the same language.  Specifically, there have been two separate translations into each of: Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian and Turkish (5 languages).  English is often included in the list of translations even though technically it should not be (indeed, it is why our list here counts up to 74).  Thus: 79 − English − 5 double-translations = 73.  It is also worthwhile to emphasize that not all seven books are have been translated into these 73 languages.
