Harry Potter 7 Deluxe Edition? Jul 17th 2011, 10:02 Question: What's so special about the Deluxe Edition of Harry Potter Book 7? Answer: According to news releases from Scholastic, the U.S. publisher of the Harry Potter series, the deluxe edition of Harry Potter Book 7: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be very special indeed. There are only 100,000 copies of the deluxe edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in the print run to be released on July 21, 2007. There is a special cover illustration for the deluxe edition. In a June 8, 2007 Scholastic news release, David Saylor, V-P, Creative Director at Scholastic, described the wraparound cover illustration for Harry Potter Book 7: “Set during a highly dramatic sunset, Harry, Hermione, and Ron--clothes in tatters--cling atop a flying dragon in this astonishing artwork created by Mary GrandPré for the deluxe edition. As mist creeps down towering hillsides to a village below, questions arise about where the trio is headed and what has led them to this spellbinding moment.” The deluxe edition has a custom-designed slipcase, which is foil stamped. The full-cloth case book is blind-stamped on the front and back cover and has foil stamping on the spine. The deluxe edition totals 816 pages. The deluxe edition also includes unique full color frontispiece art on special paper. An “Illustration Showcase” insert features near scale reproductions of artist Mary GrandPré's chapter openers. Scholastic's deluxe edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows also includes an exclusive bonus black-and-white illustration at the end of the “Illustration Showcase”. The book is printed on text paper that is Forest Stewardship Council certified and contains 100% post-consumer waste fiber. The deluxe edition has a suggested retail price of $65.00, so I don't recommend it for every Harry Potter reader. However, it would make an excellent gift for the dedicated Harry Potter fan or book collector.
