Hi Jeanette,

Maybe web Braille will have it? When the sixth book came out, Web Braille either had it that day or the next.

You can also purchase an electronic downloadable file from NBP:

And, I think Audible had it on pre-order for a serious discount, but it might be too late to get the reduced price.

And, you're not too old to be a fan. i"m in my late thirties, and have been an HP fan for years now. There are plenty of us adult fans.

Thanks folks. I should have checked, I know, I'm a moron. I haven't ordered audiobooks in the past for the others. And yes, I'm probably too old to be such a fan. I do really want it *at release* so I'll hold my breath for the bookshare release - who cares if there are some scanning errors. I've considered purchasing the hardcover and scanning it myself but that's 800 pages of my flatbed getting mad at me. Bah to that.
Though that is the lazy way out.
I couldn't possibly pay attention to that much braille, I suck at braille.
Which means I suck at life.
Bah humbug!

    Hi Jeanette,

    Audiobooks are often more expensive than the print versions,
    especially long ones like Harry Potter books. And CDs or cassettes
    are more expensive than online audiobooks.

    If you want electronic braille, Bookshare typically scans the
    Harry Potter books within hours of release. The only drawback is
    that there are often scanning errors. National Braille Press will
    release a braille version that will be available online at noon
    EDT on Saturday. It normally costs $34.95, but until Saturday it's
    available for $18.89. This version will be available through
    Web-Braille within days after that. If you want the NBP version,
    go to www.nbp.org <http://www.nbp.org/> and search for hallows.

    HTH,
    Anna
