Fw: New Harry Potter poster available from Scholastic

[Barbara Braxton <barbara@DYNAMITE.COM.AU>]

Hi Folks,
I asked John Mason if the free posters were available beyond the USA and he
has sent me this reply.

In short, if you are not in the USA, then the answer is no, but it is not a
Scholastic-thing.  It's a copyright issue and we all know about that!

Cheers
Barbara
