The stamps include hidden details that are only visible under ultraviolet light.

The style of the “1” depicting the value on each of the stamps will mirror the font used for the films.
Philip Parker, of Royal Mail, said: “The Harry Potter movies continue to thrill and delight audiences of all ages.
“The goal with our stamps is to capture the excitement of the wizarding world and the heroism of the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.”

Letters are delivered by owls in the films, but the new stamps are available in post offices from October 16.
