It turns out that the decision to move away from traditional stamps finally caught up to at least one of the people at the US Post Office:
What say you? Should stamps be confined to more traditional figures/topics – symbols of patriotism, presidents, great historical American figures – or should the pop culture world be brought in as a way of increasing sales and interest among the younger generations?
I say let market forces of demand decide what they do. The people own the post office so if the people want Harry Potter stamps it's their right to have them.
I suppose there is an argument to letting the Post Office use market forces to help itself out, particularly since it can't seem to remain in the black as it is. Still, the purists out there do have a point about the “prostitutionizing” of stamps.
