A group of blind and partially sighted Harry Potter fans are to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the release of the last book in the series at Edinburgh's Balmoral Hotel, where it was written.
The event is being held today on Read for RNIB Day, highlighting the charity's claim that only 7% of the new books published each year are ever made available in accessible formats.
The Harry Potter series is especially celebrated by blind readers as the later volumes were released as audiobooks on the same day the print copy were published.
