among the visually impaired fans of Potter heralds the news that prices for the audio versions of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix reach an estimated £75 for the CD package, and £65 for the cassettes.
Joanne McDonald, 40, of Hessle, is an avid fan of the young wizard and has been eagerly awaiting the talking book's September release date.
But she says prices have shot up by £15 to £75 for a CD version, and £65 for a tape.
She said: "My sister bought the printed version for under £10. It is making money off the disabled.
"It is terrible. I read all the other books before I went blind in February."
