The purposes of this study are: to describe the types of adjustment used in the novel, to know the accuracy of the translation of the direct speech as a result of adjustment. This research was conducted using the descriptive qualitative method. Descriptive qualitative method which is used in this research was conducted by collecting the data, analyzing the data, classifying the data, writing the result, drawing conclusion, starting the lesson learned, and offering further question to be asked. There were two types of data in this study. The first data were the direct speech sentences which experience adjustment drawn from the novel "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows" and is translation, the second data were the result of the evaluation of the translation accuracy given by three raters. Purposive sampling technique was applied. Only the direct speech containing one sentence which experience adjustments were taken as sample. Nida's theory was applied to describe the kinds of adjustments namely additions, subtractions, and alterations. To know the accuracy, the researcher interpreted it by finding the mean of the scores given by three raters and analyzing their comments and suggestion. The result of analysis shows that among three types of Adjustment found in the sample, the majority belong to alterations (34.62%), then followed by addition (33.26%), and subtraction (21.28%). Besides, there are some data (10.6%) which use two kinds of adjustments. In terms of alterations, the highest is alterations of semantic problems involving exocentric expression (15.3%), followed by alteration of word order (10.0%), alteration of semantic problems involving single words (4.66%), alteration of word class (2.00%), alteration of clause and sentence structure (1.33%), and alteration of categories (1.33%). In terms of additions, the highest point is addition by amplifications from implicit to explicit status (13.3%), and then followed by addition by obligatory specification (11.3%), addition by filling out elliptical expressions (8%), and addition by connectives (0.66%).
