Shkruani "Harry Potter dub shqip" ose "Harry Potter fandub shqip". Do të gjeni kanale që kanë ngarkuar skena të veçuara. Për shembull, ka një kanal të quajtur "HPAlbanian" që ka dubluar disa pjesë të filmit të pestë. Cilësia ndryshon nga e pranueshme deri tek e dobët.
Është interesante të shohim dallimet me përkthimin në gjuhën serbe apo maqedonase, ku disa emra u latinizuan më shumë. Përkthimi shqiptar zgjodhi të ishte më i drejtpërdrejtë dhe funksional. Për shembull, ndërsa në disa gjuhë "Quidditch" mbeti i pandryshuar, në shqip ai u bë Kuidiç – i shqiptueshëm dhe i natyrshëm për gojën shqipe.
Një tjetër ndryshim kyç ishte trajtimi i spells (magjive). Në vend që të linte latinishten e rreme të Rowling, përkthyesi shqiptar krijoj magji të reja: "Lumos" u bë "Ndriço", dhe "Expecto Patronum" u bë "Pres Patronin". Kjo e bëri magjinë më të prekshme dhe më pak të huaj për lexuesin e ri.
