According to The Mirror, the U.K.'s Royal Mail recently unveiled their 2011 "Best of British"-themed stamps. The designs include a collection called "Magical Realms", all of which pay tribute to the many famous witches and wizards featured in British literature, including characters created by J.K. Rowling, C.S. Lewis, and Terry Pratchett. I think the complete line is pretty ugly... but, hey, it's a nice thought.
