I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
It was an excellent book. I'm wondering if any of the Harry
Potter's books will be published in other languages besides
English.

I've seen French and Spanish versions on Amazon.com and Title Source (Baker &
Taylor), but both are back-ordered. *sigh*
