On Saturday past I got the new Potter book for £4.99 at Kwik Save in Berwick upon Tweed. Beat that.

Just to let you know I foolishly purchased the book from club1uk and guess what....it didn't turn up ! Looking at the page now if you click on buy now it takes you to paypal page which says 'Error detected' 'This recipient is currently unable to receive money.' Just about speaks for itself really dosen't it ! I don't suppose there's anyway of clawing the mony back through paypal is there? Well you live and learn, at least it was only 6 pounds, then again, I wonder just how many 6 pounds they received ! Probably sunning themselves on some tropical island now......reading Harry Potter !!!

I don't know why it's worth ordering online ????? I walked into ASDA on the release date saw a huge pile in a box by the door and bought one (not planned) for my daughter £6.94 and she was over the moon, not expecting one as it was just released.

"Fug" is a hot, smoky, musty atmosphere - think coal fire, wet dogs and cigarette smokers!!

I have also seen the info at tesco but it was too late as I have bought this online where the price will not change according to internal mail.

I contacted the Extra helpline who confirmed that if I wanted the cheaper price I would have to return the book in it's original packaging and then buy one instore.
COME ON TESCO WHAT A RIP OFF

I have found out at work that the Tesco website brought their copies of HP from a different supplier than the stores, so this is why the website are charging more money.

If you haven't yet bought the new Harry Potter book: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, ToysRus have the book for £9.99 including your choice of FREE Harry Potter Action figure worth £6.99. It's a decent size figure too, about twice the size of the Star Wars Figures.

If you buy Online, P&P is about £4 But the Offer is Available In Store (Store Finder
