This is a great method of learning, I did this several years ago when learning German (though not with Harry Potter), but based on Cymro's recommendation (and of course the fact that I like HP) I'm going to try each Harry Potter in a different language. An ideal plan will be:
1.Russian 2.Serbian 3.French 4.Italian 5.Greek 6 and 7 could be Romanian, Portuguese, Welsh or Latin depending on whether they get translated at all, in the case of the latter two, or which languages I get round to. I think even if you enjoy a book it would get monotonous to read it over and over again, so with both native language and target language texts at hand it would be a lot more fun to read all of them. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The Latin translations of the first two books are available online. Do a search for 'Harrius Potter' :)

The French PDFs are floating about on the net, so I have them and am using them with LingQ. I've also ordered the book and CD, which turned up a few days ago (well, I ordered the "poche" version, which I regretted and have now placed an order for the "brochè" version...the whole ordeal cost an arm and a leg).

Does anyone know if they have they been published in Esperanto?

Apparently not, this website has started an online petition to have the books published in Esperanto. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

They haven't been. At least some translation work has been done (by fans, unlicensed), but no one has been able to get translation rights to actually publish it in Esperanto. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've started to really get into this method now. I'm still working my way through the first book in French (I've been a little lazy), and I'm considering buying them all in French, since the audiobooks seem to be better-narrated than others I've checked out. Really, the French audiobooks are just great.
So with that in mind, I'm going to order only the first book+audiobook in various other languages to help foster quicker comprehension. The first book is fairly short, and contains a wealth of new vocab for a beginner, so it'll be great for that. And I can also enjoy the remainder of the series in French with Bernard Giraudeau narrating awesomely. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Using the Harry Potter method I have become a virtual expert on the first two books, having read and listened to them dozens of times. At 50, it is a little embarrassing to be the family expert on Harry and friends.
