Pupil power has led to JK Rowling's publishers agreeing to print Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone in the traditional Scottish language of Gaelic.

They decided to tell Bloomsbury - which publishes the Potter books - about their concerns.

The Italian translation of Order of the Phoenix has been completed and will appear in the bookshops on Halloween, 31st October. Italy is the largest non-English speaking market for Harry Potter books. The first print run will exceed 1 million copies.
In an article published in Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, Leif Kasvi reports from Shepperton Studios that Dan, Emma and Rupert will definitely be appearing in the fourth movie, although it appears that no contracts have yet been signed for Order of the Phoenix.
It's official. Mike Newell will direct Goblet of Fire the fourth Harry Potter film. (Thanks to Maddie for the idea for the title)
CBBC --Mike's previous movies include Four Weddings And A Funeral and Potter filmmakers Warner Bros reckon he gets "tremendous performances" from his actors.
The first two films broke records around the world
He follows Chris Columbus - who directed the first two Potter films - and Alfonso Cuaron - who's currently working on Potter 3 - into the job.
Goblet Of Fire will start shooting next April.
Alfonso will still be working on Potter 3 - the Prisoner of Azkaban - at that time, so he was unable to take on the next movie in the series.
'Excellent filmmakers'
Warner Bros said: "We've been lucky to have worked with excellent filmmakers on the first three movies and we are looking forward to continuing that tradition as we start on this next movie with Mike."
Mike said he was "very excited" about the job.
The first two Potter films - Philosopher's Stone and The Chamber Of Secrets - broke movie records around the world.
No word yet whether the film will be split into two installments or stand alone.
