And there’s more shocking news from the world of Rowling. Not only - as I mentioned yesterday - is Daniel Racliffe getting nekkid, but, according to the Wall Street Journal, the list price for ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ is $34.99. From the story:
Scholastic Corp. scheduled July 21 for the release of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” and set a cover price of $34.99 for the novel. The price is $5 higher than author J.K. Rowling’s most recent book, and a sign that Scholastic is intent on maximizing its profits on what is expected to be the last in the Potter series.

I have also read that some booksellers will offer substantial discounts some up to 40%. Hmmm, that brings it back to where it started.
