Might be true for Denmark, ea knows that better than me, but here in Norway I don't think the youth have any problem reading in English. But I'm guessing Harry Potter is an exception with it's huge marketing force, so translations to different languages would be made quickly to combine the PR work. I know people stood in line queuing to get the latest Harry Potter book here in Norway when it came out. Now that's a sight you don't see often when a book is released.
