| | Deathly Hallows selling fast in France
The French are known for speaking two languages; English and, of course, French. So what does this have to do with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? Well, despite the French reading in - you guessed it - French, the English version of Deathly Hallows is breaking records, and is currently France's top selling novel. According to Ipsos, it has currently sold over 250,000 copies.

No surprising : this is the final chapter, it will break records everywhere ! Even in no speaking english countries ! Good job Jo !! But will readers buy the book when it's released in their own language?

| That is a LOT of books to be sold in a country whose major language isn't English. I doubt that any other "foreign language" book could compare! |
