NEW HARRY POTTER STORY
Phoenix Wine Club Founder and Honorary President Yuko Matsuoka Harris has completed the Japanese translation of the new Harry Potter story that is sweeping the world. This week Yuko and Bob Harris attended the Paris launching of the French language version. Then next month they will go to Tokyo as the Japanese version is released in book stores. “Having translated all seven books in the series I thought the job was done” said Yuko, “but then J K Rowling wrote this brilliant sequel as a play, and of course I had to translate it!” Yuko said she the challenge, and now looks forward to new adventures with Phoenix Wine Club, welcoming members both in Burgundy and in Japan.
