Royal Mail is releasing the special set of 15 stamps to celebrate the success of the movies

 

 

Characters including Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley and Neville Longbottom are featured. Modes of transport from the films such as the Hogwarts Express, Hagrid's enchanted motorbike, the flying Ford Anglia and the Knight Bus are also included.

 

Royal Mail can’t keep its feet on the ground about its new stamp collection – as is seen in this promo video from one of its Mail Centres. If it’s not obvious from the clip of a levitating postal worker, the new collection features Harry Potter, fellow wizards, and items from the books and movies. Eagle-eyed viewers will have spotted that the envelope in the Royal Mail clip carries a Wingardium Leviosa postmark covering one of the new stamps – featuring Emma Watson’s Hermione Granger.

As one mail centre worker correctly pronounces the spell, colleagues Nigel and Sharon end up dangling in mid-air. The letter, addressed to a “Kathryn Goldcrest” in Coventry, has a postmark of Muggleswick, Consett. The collection features 15 stamps in total with characters from the Harry Potter movies including Potter himself, Granger, Ron and Ginny Weasley and Neville Longbottom. Fans are excited by their arrival too.

 

Modes of transport from the films such as the Hogwarts Express, Hagrid’s enchanted motorbike, the flying Ford Anglia and the Knight Bus are also included. The stamps include hidden details that are only visible under ultraviolet light. On the first-class stamps, one is a stylised lightning bolt, in reference to the mark Harry has on his forehead.

The style of the '1' depicting the value on each of the stamps will mirror the font used for the films. Philip Parker of Royal Mail, 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 new stamps are available in post offices from October 16
