The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

New Forever stamps featuring images of Harry Potter, the extraordinary boy wizard, and the adventures he encounters with the friends, heroes, villains, and creatures that make up his world.  The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort was the location for the historic stamp unveiling ceremony. 

The folded 20-stamp booklet has five pages.  When folded, the front cover features the title Harry Potter, with an image of Harry playing Quidditch, the beloved wizarding sport. The back cover features a young Harry in class, taking notes with his quill.  When the booklet is opened, an illustration of Hogwarts castle covers two pages on the back, with text that reads, "Just before his eleventh birthday, a boy received a letter that would change his life...and captivate the imagination of fans for generations."  Selvage text appears on the fifth page.

Inside are five groupings of four stamps, each grouping set on its own page. Each set of four stamps surrounds the red wax seal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The stamps feature scenes of some of the brave heroes, fearsome villains, and extraordinary creatures that inhabit Harry’s world in the Warner Bros. films.
