wandering through Narnes and Boble I saw this (or more precisely, the book sans card set). I guess it was bound to happen. The artwork is not outstanding, but it would work well in a Narnes and Boble edition of Miss Jane Austen’s works. As a curiousity, it is fine, but I don’t think explaining to a client that I see the King of Teacups quickly approaching in her future, or that the Nine of Quills does not bode well, or congratulating her on the appearance of the Ace of Candlesticks, has quite the frisson necessary.
A quick check of Amazon does not reveal a Harry Potter tarot. I will presume that Ms. Rowling gets the credit for that. (Although there is a Lord of the Rings Tarot.)
Myself I will stick to to the Beast I know.

I’ve quite had it with Stupid Tarots. My wife has a Gummy Bear Tarot (which she finds pretty useless). Myself, I’ve always been a Rider-Waite kind of guy.

I learned on R-W, but the artwork is too William Morrisy for my taste. I’ve got a whole bunch of sets, but for the increasingly rare times that I actually use them, I stick to the Crowley. I like the artwork and it has just the right about of tabu to impress an onlooker.
You could always send the Gummy Bear Tarot to Tom Baker.
