Exactly. That is huge. I must admit though that I own both the Latin and Ancient Greek versions of the first book, and while can get a little bit of Latin from my knowledge of Spanish, I can barely even read Greek writing, let alone decipher the words.

And are you arguing, then, that there is no reading population of Ancient Greek? If that were the case, there would be no reason for them to have published Harry Potter in the language - who would read it? Nobody.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is sold in more than 10,000,000 copies and it has 3,000 reviews on Amazon. Ancient Greek version has five reviews, which means that with the same ratio, it sold in 16,000 copies - even if wrong by an order of magnitude, this still shows that a relatively large number of people is interested in Ancient Greek.
