Panini’s ‘Harry Potter Always’ Trading Cards Hit the UK With £75 Wand Treasure Boxes
Revelio works on more than invisible ink.
Panini’s Harry Potter Always trading card collection — which we first spotted in our roundup of Italy’s Back to Hogwarts launches — is now on sale in the UK, with the full range live on Panini UK’s store. Built around the 25th anniversary of the films, it leans hard on concept art and behind-the-scenes material, with plenty of rarities for collectors who like the hunt.
What’s in the Set
- 100 Hogwarts base cards, each also available in six parallel versions. The first, printed on silver paper, turns up in both packet types; the rarer ones, including numbered parallels down to one-of-one, are premium-only.
- 45 filmmaking cards using images from the production process.
- Revelio Transparent Cards — a nine-card subset with lenses that reveal hidden details from the films.
- Glow-in-the-dark cards and manga-style illustrated cards.
- Two packet types: blue retail packets hold six cards, two of them special; white premium packets hold eight.
The Treasure Box
The headline item is the Treasure Box, sold in six versions named for Harry, Hermione, Ron, Dumbledore, Snape and Voldemort. Each holds five premium packets (40 cards), two exclusive Treasure Variant cards from a set of ten, and one MetalForge Wand card — the Harry Potter box, for example, carries Harry’s wand. There are six wand cards in total, each limited to 1,000 copies and available only in Treasure Boxes.
