French fans go mad for UK Potter

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.
