A Magical World of Witchcraft and Philately

Harry Potter has been a smash hit in just about any and every field of marketing. The series of books by J.K. Rowling has swept children of all backgrounds into a magical world of witchcraft and wizardry. The movies have enchanted both the children who crave their wizard friends, and the parents who are "dragged" along to see them, as well. Kids can take the magic home with them in just about any form, be it toys, posters, DVDs, or even video games. Now the magic can enter your stamp collection with classic scenes of Harry Potter’s heroic journey at the magical school of Hogwarts.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was released in 1997, and since then the seven book series has received tremendous popularity and has become a commercial giant worldwide. Almost every child had either read the books or seen the movies, and fell in love with the notion of a magical world that could bring to life their wildest dreams and was separate from the world they live in. The tragic story of Harry Potter has filled children and adults alike with hope for triumph over their own adversities, and will surely last in the heart of everyone who encounters Harry Potter.

This eight-stamp collection includes eight images from the story and the movies. These images include the Hogwarts Express, Hagrid, Hedwig, the evil Dementors, Buckbeak, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the Midnight Bus, all of which will bring back feelings of magic and wonderment when gazed upon until the end of time. Make Harry and his friends part of your collection today, and you’ll see that magic really does exist.

Harry Potter Mania Grows With Release of Final Book

Have you finished it yet? That seems to be the question on the tip of every Harry Potter fan's tongue this weekend. Children and their parents are closeted inside, furiously reading to find out what happens to Harry and his wizardly friends. Who lives? Who dies? Will our hero vanquish the evil Lord Voldemort? We'll never tell, we're only on page 389!

J.K. Rowling's incredibly popular Harry Potter series came to a close with the long-awaited release this weekend of the final tome, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Book stores and libraries sponsored Harry Potter festivals in cities across the country. Main Streets were transformed into Diagon Alley and Hogswarts' Great Hall. Fans roamed in wizardly attire, eagerly awaiting the midnight hour when they could finally buy the book. Pages were turning before would-be Muggles had even left the store.

Hailed by speed-reading reviewers as a wild, satisfying ride, the book nicely ties up myriad plot lines from the previous six books in the series. With more than 325 million copies of the first six Potter books sold worldwide, the final volume is expected to break first-day sales records.
