Harry Potter fans in France have been snapping up English versions of the latest book, as they can't get it in their own language yet.
The Half-Blood Prince won't be on sale in French until October - so loads of people have been reading the English language one instead.
The book came number five in a French best-sellers list, even though it's not in their native language.
Potter six has sold millions of copies around the world since its release.
