Harry Potter wizardry in Braille

From the CEC Smart Brief:

Children with sight impairments will be able to dive into the newest Harry Potter book just three days after it's released at midnight Friday, thanks to a deal between its publisher, Scholastic, and the National Braille Press. Even though NBP expects to lose more than $32,000 when it sells its first press run of 700 copies below cost, the nonprofit publishing and printing house says it has a responsibility to ensure parity.
