Cinema Promotional Cards

 

HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE FULL SET OF 7  LIMITED EDITION PROMOTIONAL MOVIE POSTCARDS.

7 mint condition Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone postcards (also known in America as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone ) in 7 different designs.

These postcards were only available at UK cinemas during a promotional period: 11th until the 28th of February 2002.You only got 1 card each time you bought a ticket to the film, so to collect all 7 you would need to go 7 times! (or take six friends).
The postcards are completely blank on the back, leaving space for you to write whatever you want on them, but perhaps you would just want to keep them as collectibles, because they will become very collectible and probably greatly increase in value in time.
Each postcard has 1 or 2 characters on in a nice pose and in the background are various images relevant to the character in the foreground.

The characters are: Harry, Hagrid, McGonagall, Ron & Hermione, Snape, Dumbledore, The Goblins of Gringotts
