Features of translation of J.K. Rowling's works into Russian and French (based on the book «Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire»)

this article analyzes the features of translating J.K. Rowling's novel «Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire» into Russian and French. The focus is on three key aspects that address the challenges of translation and contribute to a deeper understanding of its strategy. The first aspect of the research is devoted to identifying the elements that cause difficulties in translating the works about Harry Potter in general. This includes not only linguistic problems but also deeper semantic nuances. The second aspect of the study focuses on the representation of the French accent in the original text and the ways it is conveyed in the Russian and French translations. The difference in approaches is highlighted here. While in the Russian translation it is sufficient to indicate the accent, the French translator faced the challenge of conveying the accent in a way that is understandable to French readers without seeming artificial. The third aspect of the research is devoted to the translation of proper names. This is one of the most challenging tasks. It is especially difficult to translate proper names that carry a certain thematic meaning.
