Harry Potter books in Hindi

In India, a significant number of children residing in urban areas and large towns are well acquainted with the fictional character of Harry Potter. However, not all children are proficient in reading international-style English, and some may only have been introduced to the character through Hindi dubbed movie adaptations. As a result, the accessibility and popularity of the Harry Potter franchise in India have been shaped by factors such as language proficiency and availability of translations. They want to read the books in Hindi. To reach these children, Manjul Publications published Harry Potter books in simple Hindi. The magic spells are translated into Sanskrit for effect, echoing the fact that in the English edition, spells are rendered in Latin.

The book covers of the Hindi series are identical to the covers of the American Scholastic edition, as stipulated by the rights owners.
