Yes, they do also do it in Latin.
I think it's a great idea for them to print it in ancient languages. A lot of peope study Latin and Greek, but can only read ancient texts like The Illiad or Caesar's Commentaries. Reading a book in a foreign language really helps your fluency, so it makes sense to print a book in a language studied by many people. People aren't learning Latin or Greek to read Harry Potter, but they have the books available to them as a form of study.
