Timeline
Gili Bar-Hillel Semo (גילי בר-הלל סמו; born Gili Bar-Hillel in 1974) is an English-Hebrew translator from Israel, best known for translating the Harry Potter series into Hebrew.
Her mother frequently lectured in the United States and as a result she spent a lot of time there as a child, learning to read English before Hebrew.
Bar-Hillel studied at Hebrew University, Tel Aviv University, and Harvard University, and received a Bachelor of Arts in dramatic writing and dramaturgy.
She lives and works in Tel Aviv, and is married with three children.
Before translating the Harry Potter series, Bar-Hillel was editor of children's books for the Israeli publishing house Keter, worked for the major Israeli newspaper Haaretz, directed plays, and produced radio programs.
She is a member of the International Wizard of Oz Club and has been from before she translated the Harry Potter series.
As well, she also reviewed picture books for the Israeli women's weekly LaIsha for several years.
Bar-Hillel began translating the series in 1999, starting with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
Since the success of the series, Bar-Hillel has been described as a "bona fide Israeli celebrity" with a "nationwide" reputation.
Because of the enormous popularity of Harry Potter, her work has come under close scrutiny by the Israeli public, especially for any deviations from the original text.
The translation process was made more difficult by not knowing how the plot would develop in later books, the gender of certain characters, and the problem of how to translate various issues that are not necessarily cross-cultural, such as references to food and religion.
When the seventh book was released, Bar-Hillel flew to London ahead of the book's launch, purchased a copy and read it on the plane back to Israel.
At the Jerusalem International Book Fair in 2007, a large audience gathered to hear her talk about the translation process, with fans elbowing their way in for autographs and photos.
She told reporters: "It's ridiculous, this is something that never happens to translators. The attention I've received is because I'm translating Harry Potter. It's Harry, not me".

Bar-Hillel received a Geffen Award for her translation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:
