Harry Potter to be on UK Postage Stamps

Postby Paul » Tuesday 22 May 2007 5:57:45pm

I've just heard that a set of Harry Potter postage stamps will be out on England on 17th July, 4 days before The Deathly Hallows is released. Had a little look around and it appears that it'll be a set of 7 stamps, each one featuring the from cover of one of the books. There'll also be a five-stamp First Class miniature sheet with the Hogwarts school crest and the crest of each of the four houses of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin (source: http://www.hellmail.co.uk/GH_ShowArticl ... D=516&KW=e ).

Sounds like a great way for the whole of the UK to celebrate the final book.

That sounds Great! Although, I'm kind of surrprized that they haven't done that yet. :-? I thought for sure I saw some before....Of course, i do live in America, not the UK.

SPAM! Siamtra, how could you! And I noticeed that, but I meant on the other parts of the forum.
They'll have all of the covers of the books on them and then the House Crests' and the Hogwarts Crest.
