PARIS - Harry Potter is set to be immortalised in France with a set of postage stamps.

The flashy set of 10 stamps was revealed during the Gallic stamp festival "la Fete du Timbre et de l'Ecrit 2007," held last weekend in 118 cities across the country.

Harry and pals Hermione and Ron are the new faces of French mail, with products ranging from individual stamps sold for EUR0.54 (NZ$1.30) to full albums at EUR12 ($23).
