"Anyone christened Harry Potter can get his book for nothing. Whsmith will hand a free copy to any real life Harry Potter calling at one of their 543 High street stores on July 16th or 17th with a birth certificate and a photo ID."
For anyone not called Harry Potter whsmith & waterstones are selling it for £9.99
Woolworths £8.99
Tesco are not going to advertise their price until the week before
(I will be going to tescos as you will get an extra 10% off with coupons i'm sure they will beat Woolworths price)

WHSmiths press office have confirmed that they will be giving away free copies of the book as above to anyone named Harry Potter but you will need a birth certificate AND photo ID only available in their High Street stores.
Of course it has very limited use, but it made me Smile

Nice money making scheme here for anyone called Harry Potter and who's got a fast car. 543 branches means 543 free copies, sell them for a fiver each, £2715 profit! Probably only worthwhile if it's a company car, as otherwise the petrol cost would eat into the profit figure.0
