HARRY POTTER STAMPS FOR SALE IN NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand muggles can now add stamps to their collection of Harry Potter memorabilia.

New Zealand Post is selling a range of Harry Potter stamps, first day covers, cards, presentation packs and personalised sheets produced by the Royal Mail.

The Harry Potter stamp issue comprises of seven se-tenant stamps featuring all of the Harry Potter book jackets.

The Miniature Sheet features five completely new and exclusive stamps, bearing the coat of arms for Hogwarts, which sits in the middle of the sheet, surrounded by its four magical houses Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Hogwarts Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

All five coats of arms also appear on the Personalised Sheet, alongside labels featuring ten magic spells from the Harry Potter books. Each of the spells is printed with a special thermachromic ink that reveals the spell’s secret when warmed.

The fully illustrated pack shows the story of how the boy wizard went on to conquer the world of children’s literature. The pack contains both the seven Harry Potter stamps and the miniature sheet on a separate carrier.

The first day covers are available with a choice of either the seven Harry Potter stamps or the miniature sheet.

This is the second time New Zealand Post has offered Royal Mail products in New Zealand. Earlier this year a range of Beatles stamps sold on behalf of Royal Mail proved to be popular.

The products will only be available online from the New Zealand Post website for a limited time. www.nzpost.co.nz/stamps.
