For all the fans of Harry Potter, here's a bit of news from UK:
LONDON (AP) -- Britain's Royal Mail is issuing a series of seven stamps
depicting the covers of the best-selling ''Harry Potter'' books just
before the final volume goes on sale.
Millions of the stamps will be issued on July 17 as part of the post
office's tradition of celebrating ''social themes and important
occasions central to our way of life,'' said Julietta Edgar, who is in
charge of special stamps at Royal Mail.
''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'' goes on sale July 21.
''There's no doubt that J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels, published
in dozens of languages worldwide, have made a phenomenal impact on our
reading habits,'' Edgar said.
Rowling's fantasy series has sold more than 325 million copies
worldwide. She has said two major characters will die in the final
book, which is being released under tight security.
