Deliver the magic

Royal Mail in partnership with Warner Bros Consumer Products is to celebrate the Harry Potter film series with the release of 15 Special Stamps.

The Harry Potter series remains one of the most beloved and enduring franchises with fans worldwide. Our new stamps feature all your favourite characters from the films including: Harry; Hermione; Ron; Ginny Weasley and Neville Longbottom.

Also appearing in the set are some of the most iconic modes of transport used in the films; the Hogwarts Express; the enchanted motor bike ridden by Hagrid; the flying Ford Anglia and the Knight Bus.

Five Hogwarts professors are featured on further stamps presented in a Special Miniature Sheet: Pomona Sprout; Remus Lupin; Horace Slughorn; Sybil Trelawney and Severus Snape. They appear against a background of the Marauder’s Map – the magical parchment that reveals the current location of anyone on Hogwarts grounds.

To provide a little extra magic and intrigue to all 15 stamps, there are secret details that can only be revealed under ultraviolet light. In addition, the style of the ‘1’ depicting the value on each of the stamps, mirrors the iconic font used for the films.

Stamp strategy manager Philip Parker, said: ‘The Harry Potter movies continue to thrill and delight audiences of all ages. The goal with our stamps is to capture the excitement of the Wizarding World and the heroism of the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.’

The critically acclaimed Harry Potter films have attracted huge audiences worldwide, with eight films being released between 2001-2011.

The stamps and a range of souvenir and limited edition products can be pre-ordered now from www.royalmail.com/harrypotter and are available on general sale from 7,000 Post Offices nationwide from 16 October.
