"Anyone who collects anything about Harry Potter will want this in their collection," [Susan McGowan, executive director of stamp services for the postal service] says. "We anticipate a big demand for these."
"In the books and films, Harry Potter's life changed with a letter, so we couldn't envision a more fitting tribute to commemorate the world created by J.K. Rowling and brought to life in the Warner Bros. films," says Brad Globe, president of Warner Bros. Consumer Products. "We think fans around the world will share our excitement in seeing the films take their place alongside the most significant figures and events in history as part of the U.S. stamp program."
