Hello,
My friend is setting up a page where one can listen to the first 2 sentences in harry potter and the philosopher's stone in every language to which it has been translated. We are looking for people all around the world who would be willing to record themselves speaking the sentences. We use this format:
(title of the book in your language)
Chapter 1
(chapter title in your language)
then the first paragraph. For example, in english it would be:
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone
— CHAPTER ONE
The Boy Who Lived
Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such nonsense.
Please use the "official" text in your language, and do not translate it from the english above. If you do not have the official text, write it here and we will get it for you. We want recordings of all official texts of that paragraph. You can see what we have so far at:

Thanks!
Feel free to add me.
