Britain’s Royal Mail has decided to issue a series of seven stamps, each of which will depict the cover of one of the books of the Harry Potter series. The stamps will be issued on July 17, 2007 just few days before the seventh book goes for sale. The stamps are being issued as a part of the post office’s legacy of celebrating social themes and important occasions central to the way of life. Julietta Edgar, who is in charge of special stamps at Royal Mail said, ‘There’s no doubt that JK Rowling’s Harry Potter novels, published in dozens of languages worldwide, have made a phenomenal impact on our reading habits.’ The seventh edition will see the death of two major characters. The book is scheduled to be out on 21st July.
