Harry Potter publisher Bloomsbury stops Asda from selling Deathly Hallows book

Asda has received some bad news; they will not be allowed to sell the new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book. Bloomsbury, the publisher of the popular Harry Potter books has stopped the supermarket chain which is owned by Wal-Mart from selling the book as they have not paid the publisher yet.

Asda are assuring their customers that they hope to resolve the situation, which has been caused through an argument by the publisher price tag of £17.99. Ed Watson, a spokesperson from Asda told BBC Radio Five Live that he was not aware that the Harry Potter book deal had even been cancelled, he then went on to say that he feels that Bloomsbury cancelled Asda’s order as they have criticised the pricing of the book.
