Journal by Ethelred Unraed
Just got a helpful little e-mail from Amazon.com:

As someone who has purchased books by J. K. Rowling, you might like to know that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Ancient Greek Edition) will be released soon. You can pre-order your copy at a savings of 30% by following the link below.

Of course I wonder if they'll use modern conventions for capitalization, punctuation and so on. Or did they pick out
    • zero details. it isn't out yet -- but come on. nothing beyond "ancient greek" which is ambiguous and in the detail description it just says, "greek translation". But it's under 20 bucks. So I'll be buying one.

      I will hold it high as proof of what a complete dork I am.

      But if I get it and find that some idiot just took the english version and replaced all the letters with the closest greek letter-- I will kill. And no jury in the world will convict me. (Somebody did that with a birthday card to me on
