Latin and Ancient Greek sound really interesting. I'd love to be able to read classical languages.

I'd love to read it in latin. To my surprise, I've just found a Harry Potter version in an old german dialect...it was dead funny.

yeah..... unfortunately I don't know any of those languages T_T so um....I guess I won't be getting one of those books.


Though having Ancient Greek or Latin addition - oh that would be sooooo cool. And I wish they would change a cover of the book so it would look ancient too :o
