| | |  Harry Potter on iTunes!
Apple have announced that all the Harry Potter audio books are now available on iTunes. Additionally an iPod with the Hogwarts Crest engraved on the back is now available for purchase too. Further details (including prices) can be found here.
J.K.Rowling has updated her website with a statement about the release. Quote:
Today sees a new Harry Potter launch: audio digital files are now available through Apple iTunes in the US, Europe and Japan (English language)!
Many Harry Potter fans have been keen for digital access for a while, but the deciding factor for me in authorising this new version is that it will help combat the growing incidents of piracy in this area. There have been a number of incidents where fans have stumbled upon unauthorised files believing them to be genuine and, quite apart from the fact that they are illegal, the Harry Potter content of these can bear very little resemblance to anything I've ever written!

NO not the ipods...the people dowloading that bad stuff saying it's audiobooks...
Still I don't like audiobooks...people are just to lazy to read...
Me? Give me print on paper anyday. But I have to admit that ipod looks cool. If it had Ron on it though...

I just read this in an Associate Press article on Yahoo. I hope e-books are next. Would love to own them on E-book.

Nice. I don't like the audiobooks though. I bought OotP.. I haven't listened to any more except the first CD. But the hogwarts logo on the ipod is cute.

Not having it available separately would alienate a whole market. I'm positive the page said you could purchase just the iPod. edit: On further inspection I could be wrong  Which is severely disappointing because I'd love to get *just* the iPod.

I just looked through the page and there is only the offer for the package- I think they do it only like that so people who already have the audio books buy it too -_-"
