Well, would you believe I found the Spanish edition where I thought I'd find French?  Right in the heart of French immersion territory, no French, just Spanish.  They had all four books, I choose Sorcerer's Stone.  Oops, I mean Philosopher's Stone.  I flipped through it a bit and stopped a couple of places.  Imagine my delight when I was able to figure out what was happening both times.  And it's been more than five years since I studied Spanish.

I also recently aquired a Ukrainian edition of Goblet of Fire, and have a Portugese edition on its way now.  Which will bring me up to five languages (not counting English).  If I include English, both UK and US editions, that's seven down, a whole lot to go!  

As for HP obsession, I have preordered an adult UK edition from Amazon UK, a Deluxe edition from Amazon (US), and a copy from Barnes & Noble that I'll pick up at the midnight release.  I haven't as of yet ordered the audio version, I have the other four on CD and want to get it before too long, but I may wait for my birthday and get my dad to buy it for me.  He has no imagination and only buys exactly what I tell him to.  On another note, he's sixty and I've recently gotten him hooked on HP too.  His copy is preordered from Borders, though he claims he's waiting until Saturday to go and get it.  (And he's in the Eastern time zone, he could have it an hour before me!!!)
