High security for Potter tale
THE publishers of Harry Potter are set to mount a huge security operation ahead of the arrival of the final book in the series.
Strict security measures are being put in place by Bloomsbury to ensure that the secrets of Edinburgh-based author JK Rowling's last Potter novel are not leaked.
Copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be delivered to shops just one day before it is due to go on sale on July 21 and will be carried in crates bound with steel chains.
Security guards will also been deployed in printing plants and online bookshop Amazon has agreed to store its copies in warehouses at secret locations.
