I think they also do it in latin, which is another dead language. I used to do Latin in my old school but i was useless at it. Any way whats the point of learning latin if they do Harry Potter books in English. I would only learn it if they burned all the english version of the books (which should be a crime) and all that we were left with were the Latin or Greeke versions. But since that wont happen, I dont think I will.
