A less than magical reappearance by Harry Potter to the muggles of Melbourne is being caused by price wars, lacking stock and the Cursed Child itself.

Selling for 15 and then 20 dollars, Big W is pricing the script at a loss and customers and other book retailers are outraged at the luring tactic, according to Dymocks floor manager Alex Gleihs (guys).

The sole purpose of Big W, K-Mart, places like that who sell books at an extraordinarily cheap price, is they are not going to make any money on that item. They want you in the store so you can buy other things.

Once bursting the excitement and spells, Harry Potter fans are left scratching their heads after the release of the 8th book, The Cursed Child.

With the recommended retail price set at 45 dollars, there is no wonder why potter heads were eager to take up Big W’s opening special of 15 dollar copies. 

But when the time came to buy, most were left empty handed.

A recommended retail price of 45 dollars has been ignored by most large retailers but Big W’s lowest of 15 dollars as an opening special is what Dymocks floor manager Alex Gleihs (glys) describes as a luring tactic. The sole purpose of Big W, K-Mart, places like that who sell books at an extraordinarily cheap price, is they are not going to make any money on that item. They want you in the store so you can buy other things. Many customers are taking to social media to voice their upset over the lack of stock and to call for an investigation by the A triple C.

South Australian dairy farmers are still recovering from last week’s black out that saw hundreds of thousands without power.
 
Dairy farmer, from the south-east of the state John Hunt says the blackout has had a significant impact on his milking schedule.
 
JOHN HUNT: The main concern was we still had cows on the platform when the power went out. And then bang. She just sort of went. You just go well what’s going on here?

John also says he’s disappointed that land holders received no warnings suggesting the black out was coming.
