The U.S. Postal Service has issued five sheets of Harry Potter stamps, and to me these are long overdue. Many other countries have had HP stamps for years! And our Post Office has been complaining about low income for years, so maybe HP collectors will save the day.

Which is my favorite? Snape of course! And he's on the same page with Dumbledore, McGonagall and Hagrid - teachers, not villains. I'm sure that will make some fans unhappy, LOL.
Description of the Teachers Page from USPS
At Hogwarts, the friends receive support and guidance from many of their professors, among them the four depicted on the third set of stamps-Rubeus Hagrid, Professor Minerva McGonagall, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, and Professor Severus Snape.
The Snape stamp may not say "Always," but does say "Forever." (In the U.S. a "forever" stamp can be used even if rates are raised.)
The only child character missing from the set is Neville, unfortunately. I think they wanted to get in all the most popular Weasleys, so they had to leave out someone. It's too bad. Maybe they will issue a second set in a few years with Sirius, Lupin, the other teachers, etc.
May I just say, though, that I LOVE the hippogriff stamp! And Dobby!!!
