25 Years of Harry Potter

2022 marks 25 years since the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was published. The idea for the boy wizard was conceived by author, J. K. Rowling, who dreamt up the story whilst on a delayed train journey.

Rowling wrote the first novel in 1995, and, after being turned down by 12 publishers, it was finally published by Bloomsbury books in 1997. The book proved to be tremendously popular around the world, selling over 120 million copies.

The success has led to a further 6 Harry Potter books, 8 films, a 2-part play, the Fantastic Beasts spin-off series and even theme park rides!

Obverse

The obverse bears the fifth coinage portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II. This was designed by Jody Clark. The text reads:

2022 · ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG ·F · D · 50 PENCE ·

Reverse

The reverse was designed by Royal Mint product designer, Ffion Gwillim. A depiction of Harry Potter by illustrator, Jim Kay, appears in the centre, with stars in the background. A latent image acts as a hologram and shows the number '25' and a lightening bold. The text reads:

HARRY POTTER 25 YEARS OF MAGIC
