I assume you mean the original story is written in another language and translated into English. If so, yes I think it would be just as successful. The story and ability to tell the story determine the successfulness of a book.

The six books have collectively sold more than 300 million copies [2][3] and have been translated into 47 languages.[4] The first volume has been translated into Latin and even ancient Greek, [5] making it the longest work in that language since the novels of Heliodorus of Emesa in the third century AD.

Good question. It may now be translated as the previous poster remarked, but would it be as instantly popular if someone had written it in a language other than English? Or would it have only received critical acclaim post-translation. Personally, I don't think so.

It is Potter, that is the correct spelling. Well, I suppose if J. Rawling had been born somewhere else, the books would no doubt still be written. What is the difference anyway, they are out and a huge success, so just enjoy and dont question.

what language a book is written in doesnt determine whether or not it will be a success, it is the story.
