Thank you very much!!
In terms of proof-reading, even if you think this is rough, for my purposes it's absolutely fine; I can guarantee there won't be a Dothraki speaker in the room - they're Harry Potter fans after all, not ASoIaF. And the idea is for them not to understand any of the passages we're reading in other languages. But I totally get that you want feedback for your own purposes!

Thank you again - I owe you big time!!

Right, sorry for the delay, busy weekend.
Here are a couple of passages I like. I'm not sure what sort of text you want; if you'd like anything different, please let me know :)

"Tears came before he could stop them, boiling hot and then instantly freezing on his face, and what was the point in wiping them off, or pretending? He let them fall, his lips pressed hard together, looking down at the thick snow hiding from his eyes the place where the last of Lily and James lay, bones now, surely, or dust, not knowing or caring that their living son stood so near, his heart still beating, alive because of their sacrifice and close to wishing, at this moment, that he was sleeping under the snow with them."

"Then, six feet above the ground, Katie let out a terrible scream. Here eyes flow open but whatever she could see, or whatever she was feeling, was clearly causing her terrible anguish. She screamed and screamed; Leanne started to scream too, and seized Katie's ankles, trying to tug her back to the ground."

"'Let’s stay here for now,' Harry said.
Looking relieved, Hermione sprang to her feet.
'Where are you going?’ asked Ron.
'If we’re staying, we should put some protective enchantments around the place,' she replied, and raising her wand, she began to
walk in a wide circle around Harry and Ron, murmuring incantations as she went."

Not really - it can be any part of any book; it doesn't affect the question we're using it for :)

Hi Dothraki Speakers,

I need a translation of a short passage of a Harry Potter book into Dothraki - it's for a particular round of a Harry Potter trivia night I'm helping out with. I'd love to do it myself but my Dothraki just isn't good enough yet. It can be from any of the seven HP books and it just needs to be a few lines or so. I don't need an IPA transcription or pronunciation help or anything, I can do that myself. It's just the straight translation I need.

Any help would be much appreciated!!
