Great! Where were you? I lived a couple of years in Fieberbrunn, 
near Kitzbuehel, and then five years in Munich.

I won't respond to your quiz question since I know German--but 
it's a scene that makes me laugh out loud every time I read it!!

I was thinking of getting the German versions, but am I right in 
thinking they are not out in paperback yet?

Also, speaking of visions of Harry, I really don't like the Harry on 
the cover of the German editions. *wry grin* He looks waaaay too 
...ummm...existential? like he ought to be wearing a black 
rollneck and smoking a cigarette?

To see hundreds of book covers from around the world, word 
lists in different languages, and the first page in dozens of 
languages, go to www.hpgalleries.com.
