Hare Pota me te Whatu Manapou : Harry Potter and the Philosopher-s Stone in Te Reo Maori

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in te reo Māori.

This title is Part One of Kotahi Rau Pukapuka - A project to publish 100 books in te reo Māori.

Ko tētahi o ngā tino kōrero mā ngā tamariki ā mohoa nei, ko tā J.K. Rowling Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, kua whakawhitia ki te reo Māori.

Nō te huringa o te kōpaki, i tana ringa e wiri ana, ka kite iho a Hare i tētahi hiri-wākihi waiporoporo e whakaatu ana i tētahi tohu kāwai; he raiona, he īkara, he patiha me tētahi nākahi e karapoti ana i tētahi pū ‘H’ e rahi ana.

Kāore anō a Hare Pota i paku rongo kōrero e pā ana ki Hōwata i te taenga haeretanga o ngā reta ki a Mita H. Pota, i Te Kāpata i raro i te Arapiki, i te 4 o te Ara o Piriweti. He mea tuhi ki te wai kānapanapa i runga i te kirihipi āhua kōwhai nei, i tere rā te kōhakina e ngā mātua kēkē wetiweti o Hare, e ngā Tūhiri. Heoi, i te huringa tau tekau mā tahi o Hare, ka papā mai tētahi tangata hītawe ake nei, a Rūpehu Hākiri, me ētahi kōrero whakamīharo: he kirimatarau a Hare Pota, ā, kua whai tūranga ia ki Te Kura Matarau o Hōwata.

I te pukapuka tuatahi o ngā tino kōrero mā ngā tamariki ā mohoa nei, ka whakamōhio a Rāna rātou ko Heremaiani, ko Tāmaratoa, ko Ahorangi Makōnara i a Hare me te kaipānui ki te Kuitiki me Tērā-e-Mōhiotia-rā, ki te whāinga o te matarau me te oha mai i mua. I te whakaawenga o te whakawhitia ki te reo Māori e Leon Heketū Blake, ka tīmata te kōrero i konei.
