Harry Potter fans brace yourself - The Royal Mint have launched coins featuring the Hogwarts Express.
The new collectable coin is also the final individual 50p coin to have Queen Elizabeth II’s portrait appear on the obverse, or “heads” side of the coin. It comes as part of a larger collection celebrating 25 years since the novel Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone by JK Rowling was first published in the UK in 1997 by Bloomsbury Publishing.
Collectors can also get their hands on special coins featuring Professor Dumbledore and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Harry Potter collection will be one of a small number that will have a change of portrait during the series, the Mint said.
