Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - July 21, 2007

All your questions will be answered on Saturday, July 21 at 12:01 am. At midnight on that date Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final book in the popular series will go on sale.

Price of the new book is $34.99 but we're holding the line on price by selling it for $29.99--the price of the earlier Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Place your pre-orders now to ensure that we can ship your book just as soon as we're able. If you plan to pick up the book in the store, you can still reserve through the website

If you live in the Pittsburgh vicinity we invite you to join us on Friday evening July 20 for a Harry Potter Party with staff and customers in costume, prizes, treats and other events. The book will then go on sale at midnight. Note: this is the midnight that falls between Friday evening, July 20 and Saturday morning, July 21.

Upcoming Events

We've updated out Events section with a slew of new events from now through the end of March. Those not fortunate enough to live near Pittsburgh may not be able to attend our author events but you can get signed books. Ordering before the event will even allow you to get personalized copies, if you wish. Just use the Special Instructions section in the checkout to tell us how you'd like the book signed.

Feb. 9 - A Little Night of Romance with Victoria Alexander
Feb. 16 - A Victorian Lady with Cordelia Biddle

Happy reading and stay warm (preferably by curling up with a mystery from MLB)
