On 21 July 2007, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be the first ever novel in the UK to go on sale to the general public in audio formats, braille,
large print and standard print simultaneously.

The braille and Daisy audio versions, which are being published by RNIB, will enable thousands of blind and partially sighted people to read the same book
at the same time as their sighted peers. This is a significant milestone as book fans often wait months, and some times even years, for a new book to be
'translated' into braille or audio format. However, when authors and publishers work in partnership with organisations such as RNIB it is possible to produce
the same book, at the same time for blind and partially sighted readers.
