Harry Potter 2 in Khmer to be Released

After a first success of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone translated in Khmer, Bernie Krisher recently moved on to the next step. He made another request to the world-renowned novels' author, J.K. Rowling, in order to allow the the translation of the second book to be published for the sake of Khmer kids. Generously, the author did agree to the request. Now that the permission is confirmed, the publication of the second book of Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Chamber Secrets, is going to be published in no time, even though the certain publication date is unknown.
Overall, Bernie Krisher is a real help for our Cambodian generations despite the fact that Khmer is not his nationality. I can't wait to read that book!

Unfortunately for me, my team and I have also translated the second Harry Potter book, but it's an incomplete process. I've got some translated chapters here: http://kienforcefidele.wordpress.com/khmer-harry-potter/
