Was it the Daily Prophet?

The Lik O' Rish spiders card with it's wonderful spider printed variants?

The unattainable and excruciatingly rare PearTree leaves card? (mind you... the Peartree had as much screen time in HP as Orc number 165438 in the LOTR movies!)

Come forth and nominate your favourite - the ones with the most nominations will be put into a thread where we can vote for the "best" (or at least most loved) card in the set

I'd like to nominate the Permission Slip Prop . It (in my opinion) shows Harry looking very sweet and small and reminds us that although we see him as this great wizard with all this great responsibility he's not even allowed outside the school grounds without a signed permission slip (not that he can't get into enough trouble by himself INSIDE the school grounds of course).

It also had some pretty cool variants too Smiley

What about everyone else?

Hermione's pink sweater for me.  Why?  It was the first card I saw on eBay and that was how I discovered these card existed. And that was how long ago?  I only now finally obtained this card, after getting so many before it and I like how the pink swatch looks great wit the picture of the card.  As it is a very dark card and the pink on Hermione sweater as well of as the swatch stand out so nicely.

I must admit though, I would love a Daily prophet from this set.

I think the best card would have to be the Hermione Pink Sweater card, I especially love the 'dirty' versions  Smiley dont know why, I think that it just gives more of a sense that the material may have been actually used in the film....The unfortunate thing is though that I have never seen one of these in the flesh as I dont have one, but all the same they look great from the pics I have seen and would be the card I would most love to get, next to an Emma Watson auto card of course!!   Grin

I chose Exploding Bon Bons because of all the bright colorful swatches.
Although I don't own one (yet Wink), all of the ones I have seen are really nice.

They are even nicer in person, as I have a dirty variation of one and it is stunning!!

It's a shame that they didn't make them.  I think they would've been very popular.  Can you imagine how thick the card would be for Hagrid's coat - probably the same thickness as a Monster Book of Monsters!  And Maggie Smith has always been one of my favorite actresses.  I would have loved to have her auto on a card!

Very tough call but in third place is my Exploding Bon Bons because I like the card and the prop has a B right in the middle of it. In second place it is my Chocolate Frog card because the prop has a face showing and in first place is my Spindle's Lick O Rish Spiders. The prop shows a full spider and part of the DLE in green of Spindle.

Oooo how thick is it then? I was surprised Ron's jumper (sweater) was thicker than the Grimm fur.
