UK's Royal Mail released a new set of postage stamps this week featuring famous wizards, witches, and enchanters from legend and literature. The eight stamps depict Merlin, Morgan le Fay, Aslan, the White Witch, Nanny Ogg, Rincewind, Volemort, and Dumbledore. See them all in a gallery at The Guardian. Link -via The Daily What
How on earth did they come up with that list and not include Gandalf?

Seriously, no Gandalf?!?! Tolkien wrote the Lord of the Rings to specifically be a British mythology!

The fact that two of them are from Discworld makes me ridiculously happy but Nanny Ogg? I would have assumed granny Weatherwax or Tiffany Aching would have made the cut.

They should have had both Dumbledores (back to back) on the stamp. Richard Harris was the first Dumbledore and I think he should have been given a nod, too.
