Celebrity Death Match: Potter Publisher v. Britain’s Wal-Mart

By On · 2 Comments · In Publishing News · Tagged With: , ,

Wal-Mart owns a chain of super market stores in Britain known as Asda. According to Bloomsbury, the publisher of Harry Potter books, Asda owes them money and until the bill is paid in full, no books for them. Bloomsbury, aka the Soup Nazi, is canceling the shipment to Asda as of now. Asda claims it is because it criticized Bloomsbury for the high retail price ($37) of the last Potter installment. We’ll see who blinks first.

Update They’ve kissed and made up.

    Bloomsbury were just cutting off their nose to spite their face. Harry Potter books at Asda Stores would have practically flown off the shelves.
