Harry Potter Printing Firm Beefs Up Security

Sky News reports that Clays, the printing firm responsible for making copies of the UK version of HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, has gone to great lengths to make sure their security is in place – and that no one from the inside will steal books, make extra copies or leak contents to the Internet. Those working at Clays has installed extra barbed wire around its site and put security guards on the doors.

Staff at the firm in Bungay, Suffolk, have been banned from taking mobile phones into the factory to stop them taking pictures of pages. They can only take a small bag into work, which has to be searched.
