Summary/Abstract: Starting from Pym’s (2004) notion of translational progress in retranslation, the present paper will compare various versions of a well-known children's poem from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. One of the tools I employ in this kind of evaluative endeavour is Delabastita’s (1993) slightly revised model of pun translation.
