The Persian language, also known as Farsi, has a rich history that dates back to the ancient Persian Empire. The language is in the Indo-Iranian family and evolved from Old Persian, the language of the Achaemenid Empire (550–330 BCE), which was primarily used in inscriptions and royal decrees. Old Persian was eventually replaced by Middle Persian (also called Pahlavi), which flourished during the Sassanian Empire (224–651 CE). Middle Persian was the dominant language of administration, literature, and religious texts during this time, and it greatly influenced the development of modern Persian. The spread of Islam and the Arab conquest in the 7th century brought significant changes to the Persian language, including the adoption of Arabic script and the integration of numerous Arabic words, especially in areas of science, philosophy, and religion.
The transition from Middle Persian to Modern Persian began around the 9th century, with the language gradually simplifying in grammar and structure. By the 12th century, Classical Persian literature emerged, with poets like Ferdowsi, Hafez, and Rumi shaping its identity as a language of high culture and literary sophistication. Over the centuries, Persian spread beyond Iran, influencing neighboring regions, including Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and parts of the Ottoman Empire. Today, Persian is spoken by around 130 million people and continues to serve as a prominent cultural and literary language in the region.

The first edition authorized Persian Books, like the other authorized Persian Potter books, were published by Tandis books (book 1 was translated by Saeed Kobraiai; Vida Eslamieh translated the other 6). The first editions have...interesting art work, with mostly stock images found and added to the covers. Importantly, many of the individual books comes in multiple volumes (Example - book 5 is 3 volumes), and each volume may be purchased separately if you're buying new from the store, so be aware when buying.

Tandis Books released another edition featuring this unique cover art. Importantly, books 4-7 are multiple volumes, and the volumes have different ISBNs, BUT they are sold together over at Ketab.com, which isn't always the case at other stores. That said, the books (at Ketab and elsewhere) are somewhat expensive compared to other newly released Potter books (mainly b/c of the multiple volumes), with the books ranging from $32 to $75 each (without shipping), so bear that in mind should you choose to want to complete this set.

UNAUTHORIZED Editions - Tandis, the publisher of the authorized Potter books, no longer has a contract with the Blair Paternership, meaning that at some point the books they are releasing have become unauthorized. I have a suspicion that the above edition may be the last authorized set, BUT I am unsure. I do know the books below are unauthorized. Links to buy below:
