Harry Potter Stamps Cause Stir

The U.S. Postal Service is unveiling new Harry Potter stamps - aimed at attracting young collectors. But the Washington Post says the choice of a British character to adorn the latest set of Forever stamps is causing a stir among traditional stamp collectors. In selecting the boy wizard, the USPS bypassed the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee which has for more than half a century considered whether people and images are worthy to adorn U.S. stamps.
