Jim, I work in a children's literature research library that's 
collecting the translated editions of Harry Potter and the 
Philosopher's Stone.  We've just launched a web page to provide a 
virtual exhibit and to help people keep track of the various 
international editions. This site also includes links to
international 
web sites related to Harry Potter. 

So far we've collected the first book in 27 languages (28 if you
count 
the two separate translations into Portuguese, one from Brazil and
one 
from Portugal).  Please refer to our  web page at 
http://www.education.wisc.edu/rowling/editions.htm for more 
information. In addition to the books you'll find there, I know that 
it's been published in Bulgaria, Rumania, Slovenia and Indonesia but 
haven't been able to track these down yet.  It also exists in a 
pirated Chinese edition (credited erroneously to Tibetan People's 
Publishing House) that I haven't found yet.  

Please feel free to download the jpg or gif file of any of the
jackets 
you find there that you need for the HP for Grownups file.  I'm glad 
someone else is interested in HP as a global phenonmenon. 

Hope this helps!
