KAYOU Harry Potter Cards in Australia: The Eternal Edition Guide

Quick Answer

The KAYOU Harry Potter box CottierTCG stocks is Wizards' Collectible Cards, Eternal Edition Series 2, in the English (SEA) print. Each sealed box holds 18 packs, and KAYOU's product sheet lists 5 cards per pack and 219 card types across 14 rarities. They are collectible cards with no gameplay, and CottierTCG holds the sealed box in Australia and dispatches it from the Central Coast, NSW.

What are KAYOU Harry Potter cards?

KAYOU makes licensed collectible cards, including the Naruto and My Little Pony lines we stock. The English Harry Potter line we stock is Wizards' Collectible Cards, and the release is Eternal Edition Series 2. Listings titled just "Harry Potter cards" can mean several different products, so look for that name and the SEA English print.

It suits Harry Potter fans who want the films on foil cards, and KAYOU collectors adding another licence. Current stock is on the Harry Potter range page.

How many packs and cards are in a KAYOU Harry Potter box?

KAYOU's product sheet for this box is the first image in the gallery on the product page. Here is what it confirms:

• 18 sealed packs per box.
• 5 cards per pack in the sheet's specifications. The pack wrapper itself is marked 4-5.
• 219 card types in the set, split across 14 rarities.
• The product code is HP-KP-MFSJ-YH-002-SEA.

That puts one box at roughly 72 to 90 cards. A single box will not complete the set.

Card styles: chibi art, film stills and spell cards

Eternal Edition Series 2 runs several distinct styles inside the same set, rather than one art treatment throughout:

• Chibi character artwork. Stylised, big-headed versions of the characters.
• Film stills. Scenes and portraits taken from the films.
• Spell cards. Cards built around the spells of the wizarding world.

Harry, Hermione and Ron are confirmed subjects, and the wider wizarding world appears across the rest of the set.

You can chase the full base list, or pick one style and chase that across the set. Decide early, because it changes which duplicates you keep and which you trade.

Is there a KAYOU Harry Potter card list?

Not a verified one, so we don't publish a checklist or card numbers. KAYOU's sheet does give the shape of the set: 219 card types, with the biggest groups being N (50 types), ST (26 types) and R (24 types). If you find a list online, check it is for the SEA English print before you trust it.

The 14 rarities and what each pack holds

KAYOU's sheet lists 14 rarities for this set: N, R, SR, QR, SSR, ※QR, ※SR, ※SSR, ST, SGR, AR, ※AR, ※SGR and SC.

It also prints an appearance-probability table with three pack types, at a production ratio of 12, 4 and 2 in every 18 packs. Two points stand out:

• QR and ST come in every pack. Every pack type includes one QR, ※QR or ST card, so a box gives you around 18 of them. They are a regular slot, not a scarce one.
• The scarcer slots are elsewhere. The SGR sits in the pack type that appears 2 times in 18, and the ※SR or SC slot in the one that appears 4 times in 18. The SSR, AR, ※AR and ※SGR cards share a slot with SR in the most common pack type.

The full table is in the product page gallery. For how KAYOU rarity tiers work in general, the KAYOU Naruto card rarity guide is useful background. The general logic carries across, but the labels and the ladder are different, so don't map its tier order onto this set.

Protecting your cards before you open the box

Our product listing flags that QR and ST cards don't fit a standard 35pt toploader. One of them comes in every pack, so sort out protection before you open the box:

1. Sleeve cards straight out of the pack. The sleeve is the first layer whatever holder you use next.
2. Test before you commit. Try a sleeved QR or ST card in your holder. If it needs pushing, it is the wrong holder, and forcing it risks bent corners or a scuffed surface.
3. Use 35pt toploaders for the standard flat cards. Test any card that looks thicker or oddly shaped before you put it in one.

For the full handling method (sleeves, binders, humidity and long-term storage) our KAYOU card storage guide applies to this line too. Sleeves, plus 35pt toploaders for your standard cards, are in the accessories range.

English (SEA) or Chinese version?

The box we stock is the South-East Asia English print, with English card text and packaging. The box is printed "02 SERIES", and the product code ends 002-SEA.

Series 2 is the series number printed on this SEA English box, and it is the only Eternal Edition wave we stock. KAYOU's Chinese-market Eternal Edition waves are separate print runs, so a Chinese-market card list labelled "Series 2" may not match this box.

Before you compare a card list, box image or listing, check for the SEA English print and "Series 2" on the box, or the product code HP-KP-MFSJ-YH-002-SEA.

For how KAYOU's print runs differ, see KAYOU SEA vs NA English cards explained and Chinese vs English KAYOU cards. Both use Naruto as the example, but the reasoning about print runs applies here.

Is this the Harry Potter trading card game?

The box and packs are labelled "Collectible Card Game", but there is no deck and no gameplay. You open packs, keep what you like and trade the rest.

Some people search for Harry Potter trading cards expecting a game. One example of a playable one is the Harry Potter Trading Card Game from Wizards of the Coast, first released in 2001. KAYOU's Eternal Edition is a separate, collectible line.

For the longer explanation, read why KAYOU cards are collectibles rather than a game.

How to check a sealed box is genuine

KAYOU applies a security hologram to its sealed product. When a box arrives, check that the hologram is present and the factory seal is intact.

If you buy from a marketplace, question any box with no clear seller history, a missing hologram or a resealed wrap. For the detailed checks, read how to spot fake KAYOU cards. It is written around Naruto, but most of the checks apply to any KAYOU box.

Buying KAYOU Harry Potter cards in Australia

Stock listed on CottierTCG is held in Australia and dispatched from the Central Coast, NSW. There is no overseas transit and no customs step between the box and your door.

An SEA-print box from an overseas seller has to travel internationally first, which adds time and another leg of handling.

The Eternal Edition Series 2 booster box page shows current availability. If it has sold out, use the notify form on that page and you will get an email when it is back.

Other lines to try

Harry Potter is one box and one release here, so there is no series to choose between. For a deeper line with several series, start with KAYOU Naruto or compare every Naruto booster box.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cards are in a KAYOU Harry Potter Eternal Edition box?

A sealed Eternal Edition Series 2 box holds 18 packs. KAYOU's product sheet lists 5 cards per pack, and the pack wrapper is marked 4-5. That puts one box at roughly 72 to 90 cards, well short of the 219 card types in the set.

Are QR and ST cards rare in the Harry Potter set?

No. KAYOU's appearance-probability table puts one QR, ※QR or ST card in every pack, so a box gives you around 18 of them. The scarcer slots are the SGR, in the pack type that appears 2 times in 18, and the ※SR or SC slot, at 4 times in 18. The full table is in the gallery on the product page.

Do KAYOU Harry Potter QR and ST cards fit a standard toploader?

Our product listing flags that they don't fit a standard 35pt toploader. Sleeve the card first, then test it in your holder before you commit, and never force it. 35pt toploaders suit the standard flat cards.

Is there a KAYOU Harry Potter card list?

Not a verified one, so we don't publish a checklist. KAYOU's product sheet confirms 219 card types across 14 rarities. If you find a list online, check it is for the SEA English print before you trust it.

Why does the box say "Collectible Card Game"?

That is the label KAYOU prints on the box and packs. There is no deck and no gameplay in this line: the cards are made for opening, collecting and trading.

Can I buy KAYOU Harry Potter packs on their own?

Not from us. We stock the sealed 18-pack Eternal Edition Series 2 box only, and it is the only Eternal Edition wave we carry.
