Paperback Publication Date

Press release from Bloomsbury Tuesday 11 Dec 2007

Bloomsbury Publishing is delighted to announce that HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS will be published in paperback priced at £8.99 on Saturday 5th July 2008. The book will be published with two covers, one for children and one for the adult market.
HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS by J. K. Rowling was the UK's fastest selling book of all time when published in hardback on Saturday 21st July 2007. It sold over 2 million copies in the UK in the first 24 hours alone, topped the bestseller charts and is still in the top ten bestseller list five months later. The Harry Potter series has now sold over 350 million copies worldwide in 65 languages.
With a very special launch at London's Natural History Museum, the final instalment of the bestselling series was hugely anticipated. JK Rowling made television appearances on both Blue Peter and The Jonathan Ross Show, and every national newspaper picked up on the dramatic climax to Harry Potter's story. The marketing campaign for the hardback edition recently won the Special Award for Sustained Marketing Excellence at the BMS marketing awards.
As with the hardback edition, the paperback of HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS will be printed on 100% Ancient-Forest Friendly paper.

With publication of the paperback in July 2008, the entire series will be available from Bloomsbury in both hardback and paperback, and in both the children's and adults editions.
