We were watching NBC5 Chicago coverage of Wimbledon matches this afternoon, and a message crossed the screen saying that it was not too late to enter the Harry Potter contest today, using the secret word “owl”. Hope I win this wonderful prize! Thank you!

Well..
My name is Kate, live in AMsterdam, work in real estate…I’m 26 years old and I love The Harry Potter Books…no matter how grown up I get…Seeing this movie in London would be the best thing ever!
I was just wondering if each city will be giving away the trip to london? If so, that’s a lot of people to win the “grand prize”. Just wondering. I know that it’s a great trip either way, but usually a grand prize is for A winner not 5-10 winners.
OMG!!! I LOVE HARRY POTTER SOOOO SOOO MUCH!!!!!! WE ARE FLYING FROM IRELAND TO ENGLAND JUST TO SEE THE PREMIERE!!!! IT WOULD BE THE BEST THING EVER IF MY SISTER AND I GOT TO SEE THE MOVIE!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE!!! WE WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL!!!!
I AM WRITING THIS ON BEHALF OF MY LITTLE NIECE WHO HAPPENS TO BE IN THE UK FOR HER VACATION, THE OTHER DAY SHE ASKED ME IF WE COULD GO TO THE PREMIERE OF THE POTTER MOVIE AND I SAID I WOULD DO MY BEST, NOW IM NOT A BIG FAN OF THE MOVIE BUT SHE VOWED THAT ONCE I WATCHED IT I WOULD NOT GO BACK. I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE HER COZ SHE DOES NOT GET OUT MUCH DUE TO ILLNESSES, SHE HAS HEART PROBLEMS AND GROWS AT A SLOW PACE TO HER PEERS MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. I WOULD LOVE HER TO GO BACK TO CANADA HAPPY SHE LOVES THE POTTER FILMS AND HAS THE BOOKS, T’ SHIRTS, AND ALL THE OTHER NIK NAKS. PLEASE PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR HER. THANK YOU.
I graduate soon and my family cannot afford to do anything to celebrate my success and they all know how much i want to see this movie and how much i loved all of the books and movies. It would be the best gift someone could ever recieve. I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this story and hope i go into consideration.
this would be a dream come true, there is nothing more i would like in this world than to be there for the premiere of half blood prince….i have read the books umpteen number of times and one thing for sure with or without the contest i am going to be watching the movies first day first show…….just like i watched the first five movies…though i really hope i win.
