Harry Potter Stamps in the US (though owls have not yet been hired to make delivery)

Imagine my surprise, when I woke up one morning in mid-November, and heard that US Harry Potter stamps were going on sale.

After much fretting, I was able to get my hands on a couple of booklets, before they sold out.  And now I own a total of 40 First Class Forever Harry Potter Stamps.

As I gently opened one booklet, my eyes feasted upon delightful images from all seven Harry Potter movies, and I happily relived the storyline of a book series that changed my life:

- The first page shows the three best friends (Harry, Ron and Hermione) in their pre-teen years.

- The second page is dedicated to the creatures of the series (e.g., Hedwig, and my personal favorite, Dobby, the hous elf). 

- One mustn't forget the disciplinarians, and Professor Dumbledore, Snape, Hagrid, and McGonagall make their presence known on page 3.

- Page 4 - the Weasley twins and some of the other secondary (though no less important) characters

- Page 5 - One image of Harry Potter using his wand with a painful expression on his face as if he was surrounded by a rather foul stench; the rest dedicated to the villains (you know who + Bellatrix + Draco Malfoy)

The booklet can be expanded to see the full image of Hogwarts on the back.  It is truly a wonderful collection of stamps, and now I am in a dilemma - to use the stamps or not to use the stamps.  They are after all limited edition only.  Hmm, but not to use them at all would be a shame.  I think I will start with using just one booklet, and use the villains first ;)
