Complete Harry Potter Hardback Book Collection £33 delivered

What's the deal?

Red House Books is offering books one to six of the ever-so-popular Harry Potter series for £19.99 when you buy number seven for a (slightly inflated) £12.99. Postage is free, so you end up with the whole series, in hardback, for just under £33.

How can I get one?

Simply go to the Red House Website and add book 7, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows to your basket. You should notice a blue box with details of this offer underneath the book listing. Now add the Harry Potter 1-6 package to your basket. The money-off should be deducted automatically.

Anything else I should know?

If you don't need the whole series then there are cheaper ways to buy single books. Last week's Great 'Harry Potter' Hunt, where this offer was also originally posted, lists all the best single-book deals.

Thanks to Elphaba for originally posting this offer.

    Looks a good offer but unfortunately it looks like the boxset of books 1 - 6 is out of stock.
    Why do companies offer you "free gifts?"
    Since when has a gift NOT been free?

    It is a good offer, thanks for that, I have been looking for the boxset, however think I am really after all 7 in the box then in years to come (??) they might be worth more if all 7 in a box rather than 6 + 1

    I think the boxed set prices will drop for quite a while before they increase, just imagine how many are going to be out there for the next few years!! If you really wanted to make money out of them you should probably wait a while, buy the boxed set cheap in 6 months or a year, then hold on to it for a *long* time.

    Tempting but I want the adult sleeved books and I'll wait and pay for them to come as a complete 7 book set I think... although the special edition books at £30-40 are gorgeous so I might start asking OH for one of these for each birthday till I have the whole set :)
    Still... when the 1-6 are back in stock they'd be great presents for relatives with children I think :)

    Harry Potter books (other than 1st ed 1st prints) will never be worth a whole lot - too many out there.

    Buy books to read them, not because they'll be worth money in the future!

    It really p**s me off when these offers are published and are immediately "out of stock" ! They are obviously put on the website to attract attention withno more than a handful of customers getting them. This is the third item on these forums I have been interested in, but all have been "out of stock" when I applied.

    ive just ordered 1 - 6 but in paperback from wh smiths online. they were doing 3 for 2 on childrens books and these were all on there. cost £27 something and had an email to say the first five are on their way , other one will be within 1-2 weeks. my son has only just discovered harry potter so thought these would be ideal.
  • has anyone asked if they are going to re-stock at that price?
    just curious
