LONDON (Reuters) - Good news for Harry Potter fans. J.K. Rowling has 
started writing Book Five about the weird and wonderful world of the 
teenage wizard. 
The article also says that "Pottermania has gripped *children* around 
the globe" (emphasis mine)

Children? Yeah, I think they're into the stories. But what about us 
GROWNUPS?

It goes on to say that BBC radio will feature an eight-hour reading 
of ``Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'' on December 26.

"Comedian Stephen Fry is to read the book which will dominate the 
airwaves on Boxing Day on Radio Four."

Stephen Fry did the books on tape of the UK version - will he be 
doing this live or will they just be airing 8 hours of the book on 
tape?
And how can we listen to this outside the UK?
